Now I am to Chapter 15. Tiffany is heading back to her house and she accidentally ran into Pierre. They chat, and Tiffany gets the impression that he is indeed strange and it makes her feel uncomfortable. Dale and Chucky are not the most welcomed people in this community, and they disappears that night after meeting this stranger. When Tiffany gets home she is being grounded because of hiding the report card, but she successfully escapes from her room to meet up with Tony. Pierre continues to wander around in the night, refreshing his memories of him going off with the white men hundreds of years ago. Tiffany and Tony goes to a restaurant, and Tony suddenly suggests breaking up. Tiffany is so upset and just decides to walk home by herself.
There are again many flashbacks. They tell the story of Owl leaving his village to an adventure that will never end, about him learning about the new world and meeting the young French girl. Men vs. society conflicts are very obvious in the novel. It is mainly the first nations against the discrimination from white society. Granny Ruth is fighting to protect their culture, but still losing, and Tiffany trying to blend in but still can’t. Conflicts of man vs. man are between Tiffany and her father and her with Tony. It leads out to another theme of the novel, which is about trust. There is no trust between Tiffany and Keith. Keith doesn’t trust her so he doesn’t let Tiffany do anything, and in response, Tiffany continues what she does but never bothers to tell her father. The bond between Tiffany is also breaking. Tiffany is too suspicious of Tony having another girl, which worsens their relationship.
To this point, the story becomes more exciting. Tiffany is having too much pressure from school, her family, and her boyfriend. Her life is getting worse and she seems unable to cope with it. She is in a vicious circle. She might finally collapse. She acts on the impulse and destroys everything. I think her reaction towards breaking up is too strong, throwing fries and ketchup into his car is not a good way of dealing with this kind of situation, although it is very funny to read about. This is a typical reaction act from an overstressed teenage girl. Too bold, it is all I can think of while reading. Sneaking out of the house is also a bad decision. I can already imagine what will happen when her father finds out. This section makes me laugh, and I can’t stop wanting to know what happens next.
