“Poor little thing,” Melinda Durham said. She sat on the pier, legs dangling, and pulled the girl into her lap. “Demented with grief she is. We’re going to a laying out. Aggie’s sister is laid out today. Her last and only relation. Course, the cold truth is, Aggie’s sister weren’t much better than trash, and a laying out’s a sight too good for her—she’d be better off laid out on this beach here and left for the gulls. But I ain’t going for her. I do it for Aggie. Aggie knows why. Aggie’s been a great help to me what with one thing and another.”
Show that even though they are poor in some way they still view some people beneath them self

They’ll dump on us before we even get there. If you didn’t have to, I wouldn’t go, Aggie, no chance, not in this. It’s for you I do it. I’ve been wet and wet and wet. All my life. And I bet he’s looking at blazing suns and people in their what-have-yous and all-togethers! Int yer? Course you are! And who’d blame you?

Forty-nine years old, type O, a likelihood of ovarian cancer, some ancient debt infraction—nothing more. A blank, more or less. Same went for the girl: never left the country, eighty-five-per-cent chance of macular degeneration, an uncle on the database, long ago located, eliminated. She would be nine in two days. Melinda Durham and Agatha Hanwell. They shared no more DNA than strangers.
Is the helmet some kind of device that lets him analyze the health of individuals ?

“Course, he’d have to be somebody, Aggs, cos they don’t give ’em to nobody”—the boy felt the shocking touch of a hand on his own flesh. “Are you somebody, then?”

The genre is dead. Invent something new
This is acknowledging that most stuff we have to day were once though of being something out of science fiction or a fantasy. so once it's made ,it no longer can be consider science fiction. So that is why the genre is dead and it order for it to continue we have to imagine of new futuristic tech.

All of the Indians must have tragic features: tragic noses, eyes, and arms. Their hands and fingers must be tragic when they reach for tragic food.
Maybe it's trying to say that the only way people would read the novel is by getting the reader to pity the protagonist

She should be compared to nature:
make it seem that is the only way to describe her since any other way would seem inappropriate

savage
i think this was trying to make a point on how Indians use to be refer as savages in the past and how even if they dress different they still are the same people from the past

An Indian man can be hidden inside a white woman. An Indian woman can be hidden inside a white man.
Is this trying to say that both a white man and white women will make their counterpart couple a better person by hiding their true nature?
-
She should be compared to nature: brown hills, mountains, fertile valleys, dewy grass, wind, and clear water. If she is compared to murky water, however, then she must have a secret.

In the Great American Indian novel, when it is finally written, all of the white people will be Indians and all of the Indians will be ghosts.
I see this as by reading the book people will belief they understand what is to like to be an Indian and their culture.But in reality the true values of Indian will be lost due to misconception from the book or overgeneralizing

by a cry, at first muffled and broken, like the sobbing of a child, and then quickly swelling into one long, loud, and continuous scream, utterly anomalous and inhuman — a howl — a wailing shriek, half of horror and half of triumph, such as might have arisen only out of hell
Yeah i have the same question as Ashley was the cat sound he heard just in his mind . Which would suggest that it was his body language that gave him up up. Or was it really the cat hissing and screeching in the other side of the wall.

This line here clarify my speculation whether the main character was trustworthy. Since this line in addition to the line were he says" there came back into my spirit a half -sentiment that seemed,but was not remorse. I went as far so far as to regret the loss of the animal". This show that he has some narcissistic traits especially later on were he is indifferent to the murder he just committed.

allusion to the ancient popular notion, which regarded all black cats as witches in disguise
The first time i read this line i felt that it had a greater importance. Even though it the following sentence it seems that he seems not to put much importance into this superstition. But in a way it seems that this might have a been a trigger towards the events that happen latter on.Even the method use to kill the cat was what was use to execute people accused of being witches.And him showing signs of mental illness might have cause him unconsciously to somewhat belief in this.

The fury of a demon instantly possessed me
This line reminds me of a book i read for another class called Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. Were Dr.Hyde share some similarities with the character in this story. Were Dr.Hyde had a type of dark side he considers pure evil and it started to appear after he drank a potion. Which is similar to how the character violent and evil side take control of him after drinking

My tenderness of heart was even so conspicuous as to make me the jest of my companions
after reading the txt for a second time i found this to be very interesting since through the story we only get to hear characteristics of his character though him and never from any other character. Which makes me question whether if what he is saying at the beginning could be trustworthy.

barroques
barroques- relating to, or having the characteristics of a style of artistic expression prevalent especially in the 17th century that is marked generally by use of complex forms, bold ornamentation, and the juxtaposition of contrasting elements often conveying a sense of drama, movement, and tension In think what he is trying to say is that people don't belief his case is something as complex as he makes it out to be. Since it is not hard to belief that an alcoholic could kill his wife
