This week in class we did close reading of Ceremony. One of the major points we touched on was the role of alcohol in the lives of the returning Laguna, and how it morphs them into a hybrid of Laguna and White cultures. Also we read articles on different aspects of ceremony. I read the articles on the structure of the poems and the hidden characters, and the humor in ceremony. I had a hard time seeing eye to eye with the humor article because I don’t see ceremony as that funny, but I think that was mainly because I was trying to digest the entire novel in such a short period of time. The structure and form of the poems though was quite interesting and when you look at it really contributes to the subtle meanings of the different fragments of the stories.
