For each quote, write a cohesive paragraph that identifies the author, title, and significance. Each item is worth five points. (30 points)“It was gurgling out of her own throat, a long ribbon of laughter, like water.”“Feather Woman closed her eyes and smiled, as though she were reliving those happy times when she had lived with the Above Ones. Fool’s Crow sat in silence, for he was still stunned by her revelation. And he was suddenly frightened to be in the presence of one who had been sacred to his people and who had fallen so low that no one mourned her when she died.”“In the hills Ultima was happy. There was a nobility to her walk that lent a grace to the small figure. I watched her carefully and imitated her walk, and when I did I found that I was no longer lost in the enormous landscape of hills and sky. I was a very important part of the teeming life of the llano and the river.”“The weather was so very different here. She understood that there were often microclimates that were observably different from adjacent ones, but this was so much more. The dog was remarkably similar to her Zach, but it couldn’t be him.”“Prince Popo and Princess Ixta trade places. After all, who’s to say the sleeping mountain isn’t the prince, and the voyeur the princess, right? So I’ve done it my way.”“Father and daughter stopped together on the trail. The cougar was not fifteen yards in front of them, facing them, sitting like a dog.”“Curlew Woman says Heavy Runner was among the first to fall. He had a piece of paper that was signed by a seizer chief. It said that he and his people were friends to the Napikwans. But they shot him many times. By the time I could see the camp, there were only a few running, trying to escape.”“In the middle of the flat area, in the middle of the snakes, was a washtub-shaped rock and on it sat a little girl.”“I don’t know how it all fell into place. How I finally understood who you are. No longer Mary the mild, but our mother Tonatzín. Your church at Tepeyac built on the site of her temple. Sacred ground no matter whose goddess claims it.”“The owl had always been there. It sang to me the night my brothers came home from the war, and in my dreams I sometimes saw it guiding their footsteps as they stumbled through the dark streets of distant cities.”“La Llorona calling to her. She is sure of it.”“I delivered that note for my idiot roommate. I don’t even know Billy White Feather.”Part II. Essay. Choose ONE question. Write a thoughtful and persuasively argued essay that includes specific detail and supporting evidence from course readings. Aim for at least six paragraphs. (70 points)1. In “A Thousand Frontiers: An Introduction to Dialogue and the American West,” Reuben Ellis proposes that scholars do more to engage the literature of the West with an ear for hearing the conversations such texts establish. Ellis describes the conventional features of the Western as a “one-sided conversation.” He writes: “We know how literary and popular traditions have variously grafted onto the West silent Indians, halt-speaking Virginians, and unintelligible Mexicans and Chinese.” Today, authors create more multidimensional conversations about the American West with the development of plots that show us how various cultural mythologies and perspectives coexist to tell the story. (With short story collections, choose one to two short stories assigned on the syllabus.) As you the literature, focus on the importance of storytelling in each author’s work. How does the importance of storytelling become a formal feature of the narrative or an integral part of the theme? How do alternative forms of storytelling empower an alternative story of the West, one that produces a cultural hero or cultural mythology that acts as an alternative to the mainstream cowboy figure and Western mythos of popular culture?2. Zane Grey, one of the more famous pulp fiction writers to popularize the mythic West, described the inspiration for his work as an infatuation with the traits of the frontiersman: heroic, rugged, courageous, adventurous, and individualistic. Popular traditions in the Western genre nearly always dictate a male protagonist embarks on an exciting and romantic adventure that tests his character. On these adventures, he alone overcomes the dangers of a harsh landscape and the “immorality” of an uncivilized region. The cultural hero of this mythic West often plays out fantasies about westward expansion as a project of national progress. What alternative cultural heroes are offered in the texts we have read? Identify three kinds of cultural heroes from three different works we have read. (Deities, mythological figures, curanderas, tricksters, historical rebels, or ordinary human beings.) How are they portrayed by the writer? Analyze the cultural functions or purposes of each one. Discuss how their presence in the text relates to the writer’s overall argument or message. How do these characters offer different perspectives about westward expansion? . You can use one fictional story from the first half of the semester, but you must use at least two stories from the second half.3. In Legacy of Conquest, Patricia Nelson Limerick writes: “exclude women from western history, and unreality sets in. Restore them, and the Western drama gains a fully human cast of characters—males and females whose urges, needs, failings, and conflicts we can recognize and even share.” Limerick addresses our historical and literary struggle to remember and represent a more complete set of experiences in the American West. How do contemporary writers of the West represent gender and/or sexuality in ways that provide or fail to provide a fuller, richer sense of reality? Choose three different literary works by three different writers we have read since the midterm. Analyze how each writer treats gender roles and/or sexual identity. Tie your analysis to the writer’s overall attitudes, messages, or themes.4. Represented as wild and dangerous or celebrated as a source for rebelliousness and inspirational thinking, the open spaces of Western landscapes have been imaginatively appropriated by historians, politicians, musicians, filmmakers, and writers. Choose three writers and three works assigned since the midterm exam. Analyze whether the writer’s presentation of the landscape reveals a romantic, nostalgic—even pastoral—vision of the West as full of agrarian and economic possibilities or whether it reveals an adversarial and sinister vision of human failures. If the landscape is neither pastoral nor sinister, what alternative vision does the writer provide of the landscape? Why? How does the representation of the Western landscape frame the themes and ideas of the author? 5. One of the common conventions of the Western genre is the quest motif in which a male hero embarks on a journey that functions to establish his identity as a leader of men. How do Welch, Anaya, Cisneros, and Everett integrate the quest motif to subvert the frontier mythos?
