I’m working on a writing question and need an explanation and answer to help me learn.
. Why, according to Momaday, does the imagination come to life in the plain of Oklahoma?
2. Why does the narrator make the journey to Rainy Mountain?
3, What happened to the Kiowas at Fort Sill and what, specifically, happened on July 20, 1890?
4. What, in your opinion, is the significance of the narrator confessing that he does “not speak Kiowa”?
5. The passage contains several legends. Which one appealed to you? Why? How, in your opinion, is the legend (that appealed to you) important (for the text; for world literature)?
6. What is “the power of a word” (page 1929)? Do you agree? Why/why not; explain your position.
7. Considering “The Way to Rainy Mountain” as a whole, how does this text have a place in world literature? For your answer, reflect on one (or more) of the theoretical positions on world literature that we have studied this semester.
