Questions for Monday's lecture

It's imperative for you to examine these questions this weekend. Wednesday's lecture was a disappointment for Prof. Schaub because he expected more participation from the class. His expectation is that you will be able to respond to these questions in writing during Monday's lecture:

1. Is Abel healed? What the signs of this healing? What does it mean
in his culture to be healed?

2. What is a Night Chanter? Google "Night Chant" to see what you can
find out. Why does Momaday title this subsection "The Night Chanter"?

3. The book is full of races and running. What is the significance of
running in this novel?

4. What does it mean, in this novel, to be "beautiful"?

And while you are reading, don't forget to enjoy the sentences
themselves. The novel is lyrical, poetic.
