The first time I saw the 2004 movie, The Village, I was kept guessing about the storyline and characters until the very moment at the end when one of the main characters, Ivy Elizabeth Walker stumbles past the villages outskirts and it is revealed that the 19th century village is actually in current times. This twisted ending surprised audiences around the world, and received mixed responses. Upon watching the film again after being exposed to the ritual view of communication, it is interesting to analyze The Village and the film is put into perspective. By common rituals, beliefs, rules and practices made by the village elders, they were able to make this 19th century village a reality in modern times by practicing Carey’s ritualistic view of communication. Carey’s ritual view of communication is a communication theory which states that the realities people live in are shaped by communication.

Artie Spiegelman, who wrote Maus: A Survivor’s Tale Vl & Vll, is a book with graphic details, not just with words but with pictures, too. As a Native American, my native language is disappearing like how Vladek was very affected by tragic horror. It’s horrible having to learn from what history shows us, yet having to understand the survivor’s side of the story and the lesson from it. I can honesty imagine how my people went through this. Living day to day like Vladek did mostly in Volume II of Maus.
Looking at what she suffered with the most food plays a huge role. She hated their meals with passion to the point where she had to starve herself. “The first week of my being among them I hardly ate any thing; the second week I found my stomach grow very faint for want of something; and yet it was very hard to get down their filthy trash” (Rowlandson). Even though she was repulsed, by it, she had to eat it at some point and she ended up liking it. She even mentions how she was amazed at how the “Indians” survived
Do you smoke out of a peace pipe?” (Yes I’ve been asked this.) The stereotypical comments and remarks do have an effect on people, but I know who I am, I can look past the racism and ignorance. I have met many people from different countries that traveled afar just to attend a powwow, like the Omak Stampede. Some didn’t even know that Native Americans still existed until they attended a powwow. The ones that did know of us, had strong opinions on “Indians.” A few months ago I had gone to Oregon for a powwow.
