Response to Course Material 5

The close readings of Ceremony have been, to say the least, quite in depth. I can't help but wonder what Silko would say if she knew the extent to which 5th hour literally dissects every sentence. There's a significant part of me that wonders if we're putting too much emphasis on what in reality might have been a subtle, unconscious voice within her head. That voice certainly produced a great work, but one does wonder if Sliko really crafted every line as purposely as an artist would add strokes of shading to a sea. The themes, symbolisms, and other techniques used in the novel are interesting to explore. After that, 5th hour needs to give it a rest for the sake of other classmate's sanity.
