During the story, Tayo has to deal with how others think of him and how to react. Characters, such as Emo, constantly harass him. Also being a Native American in a white society that looks down on him, causes self-doubt, as Tayo often saddened by how those filthy white people have taken and perverted the land. In addition, Tayo has to deal with being only half Native and being spurned by both white and Native society.
