Bless me Ultima #11 Ch.12

This Chapter is were the rising actions is close to the climax. One of tenorios daughters is to the point of death so he tells all of the town that Ultima is a witch. So the whole town goes and hunts down Ultima at Tony's house. Tony's mother and father don't let anyone come close to Ultima, so in order for the people to believe that Ultima is not a witch she has to pass the witch test. This test meant for her having to go into a house with a holy cross in the door. She passes the test and the people rebel against Tenorio. Ultimas owl then attacks Tenorio and makes him lose his eye, he seeks vengeance and will do anything to kill Ultima at this point because he just got the news that his daughter is dead and since the whole town knows she is a witch she cannot be buried in holy ground and can't have mass at church.

Anaya is clever in his system with writing his stories, I love how he leaves the reader wanting to read more and more. That is why when i first read this book i couldn't put it down until i finished it. The fact that Tenorio led a mob to kill Ultima and then the mob turned against him really kept me entertained and relievd that Anaya chose to keep Ultima alive for this part of the book.
