🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Leslie Marmon Silko
This novel reflects just how interconnected human beings are, even though this link may not be obvious. Because we do not see the interconnection, we continue to destroy everything in our wake. We destroy ourselves, those around us, and the world we live in. By seeing how Los Alamos and atomic bombs that ruined his life are linked, Tayo is able to make this connection and save his life. Betonie helps Tayo recognize the reason Japanese voices were similar to the Laguna ones. Through Josiah and Rocky, we see how two worlds and cultures converge in a ceremony where witchery is done through sand painting. The author takes the reader back to a time when human beings were united against the forces working to their disadvantage.
