THE BEAN TREES

This book report deal with the Native American culture and how a girl named Taylor got away from what was expected of her as a part of her rural town in Pittman, Kentucky. She struggles along the way with her old beat up car and gets as far west as she can. Along the way she take care of an abandoned child which she found in the backseat of her car and decides to take care of her. She end up in a town outside Tucson and soon makes friends which she will consider family in the end.From as early as the time of the early European settlers, Native Americans have sufferedtremendously. Native Americans during the time of the early settlers where discriminated against and still are today. At the arrival of the Europeans there was an estimated one million to eighteen million Native Americans (meaning living above Mexico) in population. There is also said there was about three hundred languages spoken at the time. Anthropologists have tried to summarize "the cultural practices and reduce the cultural complexity and they have come with twelve major cultural areas. But, materia


I can also relate to Lou Ann in some odd way. Lou Ann and Taylor get along by the simple fact that both are from Kentucky and they are special to each other because both had a child, both were learning from each other, and both were helping each other get on with life. Mattie I like simply because she is fighting for what she believes in and in some weird kind of way she is advocating for the rights of others. Since the Native Americans families are so close knit just like the Hispanics, I know she and her mother would have been ridiculed because one, she was leaving the family, two, they probably said she did not care for her family, and third, what in the world is she going to do out there by herself. Taylor had to gone through many hardships that not many people may not experience in a lifetime. The needs to be met are the culture, value system, communication style, education levels, family structure, rituals, and resources available for this particular group of people. We can say it does not cause problems but, it does and things can be uncomfortable. This is not a coincidence when you are with people who you share feelings with the same problems you faced before do not seem as hard or complicated. Time is not an issue so they will come in late because they are in no hurry. She often worries about Turtle and wonders if she is doing the right thing to better Turtle's well being. I am one of five to leave my little hometown (outside of El Paso) who right now I am one of three that has not gone back home except to visit. Life is all about what you learn, but there is a point where you can realize that it has been worth it. But, I am glad she found people to surround her that were very helpful in her starting a new life.
