A 3 page essay that discusses Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, which is a novel that draws its meaning from symbolism that is grounded in the Pueblo Indian tradition and the culture of these Native Americans. A deeply psychological novel, it can be addressed on a number of layers of meaning, but it basically concerns the post-traumatic stress disorder experienced by its Native American protagonist, Tayo, who has just returned from World War II and the symbolic ceremony that he undertakes in order to be healed. No additional sources cited.
