Book Blog 3 i think

On page 83 the narrator tells us about a scene which involves a fiery river demon, naked bodies, and red horned people holding black feathered object. He says that bronzed breathing quivering naked bodies come from behind trees and he points to the river demon as it is flicking its tail and sending out black smoke. The demon is beating the water with his tail and splashing around. Once he pointed towards the demon all the bodies followed where he was pointing. He also talks about three men with bright red earth plastered on their bodies from head to toe making them look scarlet. They are marching around shaking their horned heads and finally face the river shaking gourd shaped object covered in black feathers towards the fiery river demon. They began chanting words which didn’t resemble any human language what so ever. To me this seems like a dream. I looked up what a river demon is and all I found was that a river demon, which is also known as a river horse, is a type of river seaweed in the southern regions of Scotland. So I don’t think he is talking about that kind of river demon. I think that he is possibly in a tribal region and that he is in the middle of a religious ceremony because of the people with horns on their head and the red mud and the black feathered objects. The bronze bodies are just the other tribe members and the river demon is a fire. It is sending out black smoke and beating its tail which could just be a flame.
