Response to Course Material - Post 5

This past week or two has been filled with great small group and class discussions of Silko's Ceremony. I am always excited to discuss Silko's book because it's filled with so much detail, symbolism and cycles. Working in small groups gives me a chance to hear other opinions and points of view on lines and possible meanings that sometimes I would never have thought of. After working in small groups we moved to discuss as a class. Our hour always goes into deep discussion and has many conflicting opinions which makes discussing so much more interesting. Even though we're only on the second group of the beginning passages, I feel that we get a lot accomplished as a class, even if it takes us much longer than all the other classes.

I can't wait to see what we do next!!
