He will always come back home

The cattle seem to be more of a pain than they're worth. The cattle remind me a lot of Tayo. The cattle are constantly moving, constantly looking for home. Tayo is always moving and always looking for someone to trust. Tayo is always struggling with the fact that he is a "half-breed." Tayo is not full Indian because of his mother. Tayo fights with this fact throughout the novel. The cattle are "half-breeds" just like Tayo, they are part Mexican as well. In a sense I think the cattle are Tayo. The cattle are constantly moving, constantly looking for somewhere safe. Much like the cattle, as much as he strays Tayo will always come back. He may need some help finding his way home. He may need someone to lead him but he will always come back home.
