The teachings
In the introduction they talked about Diableros. I for one do not believe a human can turn into an animal for real. I believe that if someone is under the influence of a mind altering drug that they could possibly see things.
chapter one was kind of dragging. The man kept on begging the Indian to tell him about peyote and the indian keeps on telling him no. He keeps telling him to find his spot and be comfortable. I had a hard time staying interested in this chapter until the end when the Indian showed some kind of interest in telling him about the drug.
Beleive it or not when I was in highschool I remeber people experimenting with Peyote. The next chapter when he tries it, its kind of funny when he describes what is going on in his head and what he is seeing. I for one never tried it but I remember people acting very stange on it and speaking and acting not normal to someone that was not on it. Thus chapter was funny to me, kept me interested. The interesting part was reading from his point of view, when he was talking about what he was going through, and then when he awoke the next night and was told by the people he was with what went on. I found it funny about the dog. it did not seem to me like there was that much interaction with the dog until the men described what he did to the dog and what the dog did in return. i though it was interesting when the man asked the Indian if he did not experience it correctly because he was not an indian.
