I found the first 37 pages of this book to very interesting. So far, I really like how the author uses the “story” or “myth” embedded in the narrative. Like I said in class, I can’t say that I know this for sure, but the people of that culture probably think of those stories as part of their belief system. Just think of your belief system…For example, the story of Jesus turning water to wine is part of my belief system. I believe in those miracles that other cultures may see as “myths” or “stories.” The Buddhist religion also tells stories of Siddhartha which form the base of their religion. We rely on stories to pass down information and important lessons from generation to generation. Many cultures have died because the traditions and teachings were not longer passed down. We can learn about the Indian or Native American cultures from Ceremony. I look forward to exploring this culture, because it’s important to understand the experiences of other cultures to be well rounded. Nature plays a huge role in the culture of this culture, which has been made clear just in the first 37 pages.
