Assignment-12

When I read the title:”The Beauty of a Spirit” I immediately thought about the physical appereance and I was right.From the beginning of the essay it is revealed a lot about Silko’s childhood.She goes back in time showing that she was aware of her”difference”and explains the reason why she was like that,not just her but also her sisters didn’t look like the other Laguna Pueblo children,but they also didn’t look white either.Her difference wasn’t accepted by some people,as in most cases by discriminatory people.On the other hand she didn’t see “any signs of that strain or anxiety”in her grandma’s face,because she didn’t care about Silko’s appearance.Going on with the “difference”,she indentifies it between the”the old time beliefs”and the modern way”. She says that the modern way included racism.Racism,judgement that she felt in school by her classmates and in contrast her physical appereance seemed not to matter to the old time because they looked the world differently.For them a person’s value lies in how that person interacts with other people,animals and earth.There is a phrase-“many worlds coexist here”she means that both ways of seeing the world exist in the present,but I think that the most important is how you decide to see the world,accepting it and the different types of people and just a beautiful spirit can see the beauties of the world.
