Yellow Woman and a Beauty of the Spirit.
In this essay the main themes are prejudice , racism and the maltreat of nature by humans. .The author Leslie Marmon Silko tells stories of her childhood by implementing the old stories of Pueblo people which were people who valued earth and all its sorroundings including the live and the dead.
They used to respect animals,trees,rocks and the dead.Pueblo people used to value not only nature but also people,they valued more the inside.There was no such division between the face and the heart and all people were the same.There did not exist such discriminations over passion,sexual orientations,colour,dissability but indeed Pueblo people cosidered them unique and beautiful.They considered spirituallity over all. For Pueblo people women were equal to men .The author talks or emphasises her worship of Kochininako,Yellow Woman who was her favourite hero becouse of her independence and courage to overcome boundaries of ordinary behaviour and the author finds her as an inpiration becouse she herself was judged becouse of her physical appereance.She was a part-white individual and she felt diffirent becouse everyone jugded and denied her presence.Yellow Woman although she wasn't yellow but was called so to the ritual colour of the east learned the narrator to value her diffirencies and to be courageous .To me the Pueblo lifestyle and coorporation would be called the ultimate world,where peace ruled over.I truly wished the world functioned in this free,modest kind of way so we would not have to face such a cruel world we live in today.
