Responses to Course Material (4/14)

My thoughts about Ceremony are mixed; at times I enjoyed it and other times I didn't.  Perhaps this is because I didn't fully understand the symbols and the meaning of the piece, but after reading the article the book made more sense.  For instance learning that the color blue represents sacred people and spirits was helpful because it explains why it is associated with Ts'eh.  Another symbol is alcohol which symbolizes the destruction of native culture caused by white people.  I am anxious to compare this book to Fifth Business which I have so far enjoyed reading.  I noticed that Ramsay was in a war and so was Tayo so I wonder how these two character's and their experiences in war will compare.
