Ceremony 10

Tayo packs up and leaves for California abruptly. He gets a job working as a sales person at a telephone company. He is able to send money back to his family every week and eventually saves enough for himself to buy a small apartment in San Francisco. He continues to work his way up the corporate ladder and is promoted to vice president of the company in only two years. His life is now that of a business man and he flies all over the country attempting to sell his company’s phone services. He heads back to Laguna once a year at most but is disgusted to see that they have not changed their ways to adapt to modern times. He dies at the age of 80 a millionaire and the father of three children born from his wife, a white woman.
