Momaday-Prologue+Scene 1 thoughts

in the prologue it seemed to me that Mother Goodeye was indecisive, jittery, and nuts in the way she spoke of the three children though she does elude to their significant names..it just seems like shes wired. in act one scene 1 to me Gregory has some heart in him but when a good thought pops up, Wherritt is there to correct him and steer him to the dark side. I also do not understand why there is alot annoying REPETITON.

Annoyingly Repetitious..these guys should get hearing aides..pg 16-17, "acoording to Manual" is is repeated, pg 17 "warm clothing" is mentioned 5-6 times almost the exact same phrase too, pg 18 they keep telling each other "i did my duty"...pg 20 "save their souls" is mentioned 3-4 times. additional repetitious occurrences: " harms way" , "whipped", "impertinence", and "dogs"

It reminds me of the Guiness beer commercials where the two old men keep saying brilliant..brillant brillant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WqO0Q_zNKA
