A 5 page essay that contrasts Leslie M. Silko's Ceremony and Russell Banks's Continental Drift, novel in which the authors craft tales in which the cultural perception of "otherness" and ethnic identity play a role. In Ceremony, Tayo (Silko's protagonist) eventually comes to terms with his identity through reconciliation of his ethnic identity to mainstream cultural expectations. In Continental Drift, while the theme of immigrant as "other" is addressed in the subplot, the journey of working man Bob Dubois toward self-realization and meaning is never fully realized, which suggests that identity grounded in mainstream ideals, such as the "American Dream," are ultimately false and spiritually unfulfilling. In both novels, sex is seen as redemptive, but, here again, its redemptive powers work for Tayo, but not for Bob Dubois. No additional sources cited.
