Please Repeat That: Repetition As a Stylistic Device in Tony Hillerman's
Please Repeat That: Repetition as a Stylistic Device in Tony Hillerman’s Skinwalkers An Extended Critical Essay by MFA Stephen Brown Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Fine Arts degree Master of Fine Arts in Writing Program Spalding University February 20, 2017 Kirby Gann, ENG633 Mentor Sena Jeter Naslund, Program Director Abstract “Please Repeat That: Repetition as a Stylistic Device in Tony Hillerman’s Skinwalkers,” by Stephen Brown, explores the use of repetition in a work of fiction, and focuses on Tony Hillerman’s use of two protagonists in Skinwalkers—his first book to gain national prominence. With two detectives investigating four murders, repetition is the literary glue holding this complex novel together. Please Repeat That: Repetition as a Stylistic Device in Tony Hillerman’s Skinwalkers The opening sentence of Tony Hillerman’s novel Skinwalkers emphasizes a repeated sound: “clack, clack.” A cat—the spirit animal of the underworld—alerts protagonist Jim Chee to impending danger when it scurries inside the trailer. “What had chased it in? Something scary to a cat . Was it something threatening to Chee?” (9) The cat appears in the opening scene as a harbinger of danger, and its reappearance underscores how effectively Hillerman uses repetition to create tension. Much later in the novel, when Chee is afraid to approach his trailer late at night due to his fear of what danger awaits inside, he hears the “clack-clack of the cat door,” and knows it’s safe to enter (77). Repeating the distinctive sound introduced in the opening sentence is an effective structural tool, a Pavlovian response the reader associates with danger; specifically, attempted murder.

Headshrinker, Gay Cop, Culture Thief: New Male Roles in Tony Hillerman and Jonathan Kellerman

PUB DATE Apr 94 NOTE 8p.; Paper presented at the Annual Meeting of the College English Association (25th, Orlando, FL, April 7-9, 1994). PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Higher Education; Homosexuality; Literary Criticism; *Literary Genres; Literature Appreciation; *Males; *Popular Culture; *Sex Role; *Sex Stereotypes IDENTIFIERS *Detective Stories; Hillerman (Tony); Jacksonville University FL; Kellerman (Jonathan); *Mysteries (Literature); Postmodernism ABSTRACT In the area of male sex roles, the mystery novel is far ahead of society in general and thus presents the academic with a wealth of new male rile models that demand inclusion in the postmodern canon. For a class at Jacksonville University ("Contemporary Detective Fiction") the classical male detective of "The Big Sleep" or "The Maltese Falcon" is first presented to students. The classical American detective character is rough, uncultured, even violent; he chain smokes, and contemporary social workers would call him an alcoholic. His sexual contacts arebrief liaisons. Throughout he remains shrewd, calculating, objective and terminally cynical about the subject of women, and indeed, about everything. In extreme contrast, the postmodern male detective presented later in the course is an untrained amateur, who is often sensitive, caring, insightful, and socially aware. Two obvious examples of these trends may be found in the work of TonyHillerman and Jonathan Kellerman. Their detectives are a caring,introspective child psychiatrist, a gay cop, and a Navajo police officer whois studying to be a shaman.

Navajo Mysteries and Culture-Ii
NAVAJO MYSTERIES AND CULTURE-II THE FOUR CORNERS WITH TONY HILLERMAN [email protected] Abstract Read the Jim Chee/Joe Leaphorn mystery novels of Tony Hillerman, and study the Indian myths and cultural concepts they embody. The land is sacred to the Navajo, as reflected in their religion, arts, and weaving. While enjoying Mr. Hillerman’s descriptions of southwestern landscapes and its people, review Navajo mythology with its beautiful descriptions of the cycle of life, the formation of the world, and the special reverence for land. Consider the relation of the Navajo to the Hopi and Pueblo peoples of the Anasazi migration. The course will provide an appreciation of Navajo concepts including “hozho,” going in beauty and harmony with nature, and its reversal of witchcraft (“skinwalkers”). It will delve into the basis of tribal sovereignty and existing treaties to better understand the politics of cultural preservation. The course will also consider current Navajo issues, including the control and exploitation of mineral and energy resources and their impact on the Navajo Nation. Mr. Hillerman generally weaves current issues of importance to Indian Country into his work. This is a three- semester course in which the student should expect to read about 7 first class mystery novels each semester. Course Operation While reading and enjoying the Tony Hillerman mysteries, we will discuss the examples of Navajo religion, spirituality and culture portrayed in the stories. As the opportunity arises, we’ll consider the treaties, U.S. policies, social experiments, and laws that have shaped our relations with the Navajo Nation (as well as those with all 562 federally recognized U.S.

How to Use Joe Leaphorn and Walt Longmire In
1 Amy Denton How to Use Joe Leaphorn and Walter Longmire in Your History (And English) Classroom There are multiple periods in U.S. History fraught with peril, in terms of how to cover them in a classroom setting. Slavery, the subjugation of Native Americans, the interment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. How can such 'touchy' subjects be covered in a responsible manner? In the English Literature survey class, the issue is coverage. How much time is devoted to Native American literature? Is any time devoted? In the U.S. History survey class, the issue is not coverage but time. How much time is there for the stormy, violent relationship between Native Americans and White settlers? Once Pilgrims and Indians and the first Thanksgiving are covered, then what? Is there any time left for a look at modern day relations between the two factions? The question becomes what to cover and how much? If you're looking for an innovative way to introduce modern day Indian society, problems and all, look no further than the Joe Leaphorn and Walt Longmire novels, written by Tony Hillerman and Craig Johnson, respectively. In U.S. History as in English Literature, what the student perceives to be truth can greatly effect how they understand and process the information they are given. They also bring certain perceptions into the classroom based on personal experience, other classes they have taken and information gleaned from the relationships they have had with family, friends, co-workers. It is one of the jobs of the professor to find out what those are and find a way to work with them.
