Hello again! :)
Let me start with Ceremony. Can you say confusing? When I first finished the novel, I had no idea what had just happened. So, as always, I'm ecstatic to be going over all of this in class.
All the background insight into the Natives has really helped me understand the book. The articles we read for homework/the forums were pretty useful. I did not understand one of them (I think it was the PoCo one?) but the other was comprehensible. Its always fascinating to see what values to a culture manifest its self in other places. Yes, I am a huge history nerd, but I think it would be really cool to to read more of the Native legends and other stories that they have.
I'm starting to be able to piece together more and more of the novels with less help from my lovely classmates. Its something that I didn't know if I would ever be able to do and am therefore pretty happy about. But, there is still SO much more progress needed to be made before May. 5 months to go!
