Yellow Woman

Throughout Silko's Yellow Woman, I felt as if I might be actually on a journey with someone who is hallucinating. I think that that might be the magical part of the story. Silko seemed to me like a master of story in her native way. When I think of Native American Culture I feel like they rely heavily on spirits and this story is no different even though we find out that it is set in a more modern time. I felt like Yellow Woman had an otherworldly excuse for cheating on her husband. I also felt like that the story almost didn't even happen. The families non reaction to her returning from her sexual encounter a couple of days after the fact. The part of the book where the cowboy chases the two on horseback because of the stolen cattle even resounds the fact. It still seems like this story is almost not happening at all and that Yellow Woman wish making it all up.
