This research paper: This is a 6 page paper discussing form and content in works of N. Scott Momaday. N. Scott Momaday, a Native American writer who first won the Pulitzer Prize in 1969 has a unique presentation within his works. In “House Made of Dawn” (1968) Momaday relates the story of Abel, a young Jemez Pueblo Indian returning from World War II and who goes about a journey of self-discovery in which Momaday intermingles Abel’s imaginative thoughts, mythical stories and reality throughout. In “The Way to Rainy Mountain” (1969) an autobiographical collection, Momaday recounts his own journey back to Rainy Mountain through a series of poems, legends, drawings and historical facts about the Kiowa Indians. In both works, Momaday uses a fragmented format which reflects the fragmentation of the content which is occurring within the central characters. This fragmentation gradually comes together by the end of each work to present the reader and the characters with a sense of the “whole” person used to describe Abel and Momaday in their journeys of return and self-discovery. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
