How does Tayo’s status as a half-breed influence his choices, his thinking, and the way he is perceived by other characters in the novel?
Being a half breed certainly brings hardships on Tayo In his childhood. He was seen as an outsider on the reservation by his family and his peers. His aunt sees him as an unwanted burden and a shame to the family. She treats him different than Rocky and kept things like toys and extra food away from him.
What tensions and conflicts does his mixed ancestry contribute to Silko’s story?
Tayos mixed ancestry makes it so he is not really connected with the Indians or the white people. He became an outsider looking in and because of that he had a different perspective on what was going on around him.
