 Hmmmm, it took me forever to try to see the connection with our readings and prodigal summer! But i think i'm going to take the view of Lewis Hyde. I like his idea of the "trickster", especially the one about the prince who becomes the raven (that eats everything). I'm going to try to relate this story of the trickster and maybee parallel it with Deanna / Eddie?! Eddie being the 'trickster'.  I also kind of like the idea of predator prey relationships in the book (and that Hyde talks about -- with the predator always being one step ahead of the prey), but i'm not sure if i could make an essay that encorporates both ideas.
