Silko/Environment & Self-Awareness
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page essay that discusses how in her complex novel Ceremony, Leslie Marmon Silko presents a conceptualization of the Native American process of individualization has being grounded in an acute awareness of humanity's interconnectedness with the environment. The narrative features a protagonist, Tayo, who has been traumatized by his combat experience during World War II. Throughout the novel, Silko focuses on the disconnect that Tayo has experienced between himself and "his mother," which, according to Native American belief, is the Earth itself. In order to become whole once again, Tayo must reconnect with the Earth, as this is the relationship that is primarily responsible for determining how an individual not only relates to the world, but finds definition and identity.

Stereotypical Portrayals and the Underlying Theme of Capitalism in "The Last of the Mohicans" and "Uncle Tom's Cabin"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page contention that the story revealed in James Fennimore Cooper's "The Last of the Mohicans" is essentially the same as that revealed in Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin". Both authors, although sympathetic to their respective characters plight, tend to employee stereotyping to convey their points which in reality is little different from the damaging stereotypical images we have held throughout history of both Blacks and Native Americans. While the characters have changed from red to black, societal oppression, aided by a stereotypical view of people who differ from the mainstream, is pivotal to the plot of both of these great classics. No additional sources are listed.
