Реферат: Ceremony A Book Report Including Indian Culture

Rocks with veins of green and yellow and black.

They will lay the final pattern with these rocks

They will lay it across the world

And explode everything (Silko 137).

In order for Tayo to complete his ceremony he ironically had to use an ore rock, streaked with powdery yellow uranium (Silko 246). Uranium was a main component used to make the atomic bomb. When the atomic bomb explodes it kills all life forms in its path, leaving radioactive waste to ensure there will no longer be life. If the Indian story is true, a nuclear war will be the human event to end all human events.
