· He was uncomfortable, between the insects, the pushy and demanding Yanomamo and the lack of hygiene, he was ready to snap.
· He noted the important role that aggression played in their culture. This was very different from his experience as an American.
· But once he had adapted in his everyday life, things were a little better, but not the constant begging, demands and aggressive behavior.
· He finally realized that he had to pass this constant testing by the Yanomamo; he had to be like them in order to get a bit of peace and successfully conduct his fieldwork.
