The story that is written throughout the novel tells of ways that the rain may have been taken away. The stories are about not appreciating what they have and not taking care of it. They took the rain for granted and it was taken away from them. They people were straying away from their beliefs and culture and to be punished their rain was taken away. In order to get the rain back they have to do certain things such as; get old buzzard to purify the land but he won’t do it until he gets tabacco that they have to get from catapiller.
This goes with the book because it’s like saying that a problem cannot be fixed until all the parts are fixed and then if will be complete. Tayo will not be better until he is satisfied with all parts of his life. Maybe Tayo has these problems because he went away from his culture and wasn’t practicing the “right” ways of his culture. Like the ’story’ he must fix everything before he can be completely cured.
