Abstract
The present study proposes that there is an intrinsic relationship between
United States. I argue that the contemporary form of the story cycle has become
dominant ideological discourses of Euroamerica and its underpinning
The five authors and the texts I discuss are Tim O’Brien and The Things
Gerald Vizenor and Landfill Meditation, Sherman Alexie and Ten Little Indians,
In the thesis I address the interrelationship between ideology and
five disparate writers each uses the story cycle in his or her own distinctive way to
challenge a dominant ideology and the mythology that underpins it.
