"The Great Vision" Q3 | 소크라테스 세미나

To tell a story the “proper way", a traditional Native story isn't heavily worded because each word used holds a meaning, N. Scott Momaday said in “A Storyteller and His Art”. However, this ideal is not followed in the retold version of “The Great Vision”, originally told by Black Elk. A white man, John G. Neihardt, described with heavy imagery the voices heard by Black Elk. Saying that the voices were "so loud and clear" that they even felt real. WIth the use of imagery and repetition, the story began to feel more Americanized than Native, and alters the authenticity of the story.

  1. I totally agree with you, Because. The story told by John G..Neigardt could have been persuaded in different types ways. So for it to become proper, it would be no use it doesn't make sense.
