In the novel Ceremony, there was a story within a story. In an almost poetic set up told a story. The story was about how rain was taken away, and the lands were almost cursed. The rain was taken away because people in a sense lost respect for having the rain, It was almost a privlage that was taken away. All life changed. As the story unfolds, you find out in order to get the rain back a humming bird and a fly, go on a journey to right the wrong, to get “storm clouds”. Once embarked on the trip, they find them selfs running around, to got one thing they had to do another.
Eventually the people get there rain back, almost the same way Tayo gains respect in the story. Almos to the point where tayo had to go to hell and back to be involed in ceremonies at home, just like the humming bird and the fly had to go all over to get the rain back. In the end there hard work and determination prevailed and they all got what they wanted the most.

When you read a book, a story unfolds. You learn things about the characters that you didnt know before. You feel almost as if you were apart of it. Most of the songs i Listen to (rock/punk/country) all tell a story. I would say yes, you can find literature in music. Like a book, songs tell you what happened, whats going on or what will happen. Literature itself I think is in the eye of the beholder for the most part, So by me saying music is literature is unjust. You can fight that in many ways, as well as i can books to literature. I feel if something effects you or your mind has changed after listening, or reading then there literature in there some where, it may not be the best, but its there.

Once I finished reading the fairy tales, I wanted to craw in a hole. When I hear the word” Fairy tale” I think of somthing happy, good verse evil portrayal where good always wins. Always were “G” rated storys. no one dies or gets tortured. Even if the lesson learned was not clear every one could walk away with a good opion. Even though now a days were murder and sex are all over tv and children are playings like Grand theft Auto, were you get rewarded for killing people. I dont think these types of fariy tales will help out at all. I dont think kids would get scard of them but i would almost think if thats there fairy tales. Things they hear before they go to bed, What will they dream about, how will they grow up?
