The Relationship Between Form and Content within N. Scott Momaday’s Works “House Made of Dawn” and “The Way to Rainy Mountain”
[ send me this essay ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing form and content in works of N. Scott Momaday. N. Scott Momaday, a Native American writer who first won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 has a unique presentation within his works. In “House Made of Dawn” (1968) Momaday relates the story of Abel, a young Jemez Pueblo Indian returning from World War II and who goes about a journey of self-discovery in which Momaday intermingles Abel’s imaginative thoughts, mythical stories and reality throughout. In “The Way to Rainy Mountain” (1969) an autobiographical collection, Momaday recounts his own journey back to Rainy Mountain through a series of poems, legends, drawings and historical facts about the Kiowa Indians. In both works, Momaday uses a fragmented format which reflects the fragmentation of the content which is occurring within the central characters. This fragmentation gradually comes together by the end of each work to present the reader and the characters with a sense of the “whole” person used to describe Abel and Momaday in their journeys of return and self-discovery. Bibliography lists 7 sources.

[ send me this essay ]
This 7 page report discusses the struggle for identity among modern Native American characters in two separate novels. For a people who never questioned who they were or their role in the natural order of life and their place in the world, such an effort becomes one in which cultures clash and the primary characters are forced to determine who they are in the context of their traditional world and the dominant culture of modern America. Louise Erdrich’s “Love Medicine” portrays the results of cultural devastation as well as personal injury and pain, it also shows a way back to health and contentment. Leslie Marmon Silko’s “Ceremony” offers a view that a person must deal with the fact that his body seems to be little more than nothing in the larger, pre-existing, and ceremonial patterns of his people.
