857 words (approx. 3.4 pages) | 1 source | MLA | 2002 United States


Paper Summary:

This paper provides a brief analysis of Narayan's book in which he writes about his own world. He tells of his role as a story-teller in Native-American society, the nature of that society, the life of the people, and the way the story-teller takes the details of that world and transforms them through narrative.

From the Paper:

"In the first essay in the book, Narayan discusses precisely the art of the story-teller and the way in which the story-teller uses language, stock characters and situations, symbols and the elements of life to entertain and enlighten. Narayan is talking here specifically of a certain type of traditional narrative that has been handed down over time, the legends and the myths that have particular meaning to the Indian people."
