Winter In The Blood, part 2 summary
In part 2, the nameless narrator has an issue with the emptiness feeling that is haunting him where ever he goes. He seeks women, booze, and fights to try to fill that emptiness. Where he was raised by mostly women, loseing his father and 14 year old brother Moses, and drinking to forget memories he doesnt want to remember causes him to want to lose himself, have his shadow along with himself erased. He is a victim archetype and uses self pity on himself at times he is at his lowest inner conscious.

summary of Winter In The Blood, part one
To begin with, it seems that the main character, who is nameless, is from a Indian reservation.
He had come home from partying at the town near by, got in a fight, and when he come home his, who everyone thought to be his wife to be, had left him and took his 30-30 gun with her. to me he seems as if he don't care about nobody but himself. For instance, "She left three days ago, just after you went to town." " It doesn't matter," I said. (3). The only one he seemed to care about was his father.An example, "But Ill tell you one thing--Ive never seen a sorrier sight when he did come back." (17). He had many hobbies and they were fishing, drinking, putting Cree women down, and hang in bars. For instance, "She was Cree not worth a damn"(33). Another example of his hobbies were, "I drained off my beer and pointed to the empty bottle. " "Barman!" (45). A final example was when he , the nameless character (narrator) said, "..... picked up my fishing gear and drove away." (45). One final note to part one, is the setting and plot is in the modern days of indians and how they live yet to this day.
