Response to Course Material

In the past week we have been reading and analyzing Ceremony by Leslie Marmon Silko. We have been close reading in groups and sharing our analysis with our classmates. Personally, I liked the first half of Ceremony and didn't care much for the second half, so I'm enjoying our discussions while I can. My second read for Ceremony was much more helpful to me than my second read for Death of a Salesman and The American Dream because of its unusual narrative structure. Similarly, the discussions are much more helpful to me for Ceremony as opposed to the others. This may be because there is simply so much more content to break down in a novel as opposed to a play.
