"Linda drank some, and then Pope drank some, and then Linda laughed a lot and talked very loud." (BNW, page 125)
Wow. Can I just say something? This is evil. Pure evil. Having a prostitute for a mother is just so evil. Poor John! He has no father, no fatherly figure, an uncaring, courtesan mother, and on top of that, he isn't accepted by his people. It reminds me of a book I've been meaning to read called "Redeeming Love". A little girl's mother is a prostitute, has a terrible childhood, becomes a prostitute herself, then is rescued by God and a man named Micheal Hosea. Once again, this book really solidifies my views on certain topics, not that I have ever or would ever think prostitution is okay! I just mean that in the sense of a family needing a mother and a father, not one parent and eighty other partners.
prostitute? I never got the sense Linda was a prostitute. She seemed to apply what she learned about sex in the "civilized" world to her time at the reservation, which clearly had a different view of sex.
