		The main connections appear to be that the knowledge of the use of peyote spread through some of the same mechanisms and institutions that spread the Ghost Dance practices across the northern United States and that some who participated in the Ghost Dance participated in peyote using ceremonies.

		In a novel where so many characters are so quick to loathe "the concerned sorority" and all that they have destroyed, providing a less-easy target than the parodic version of feminism that is on offer here would have facilitated a more nuanced exploration of these dynamics.

	NovelGuide: A Christmas Carol: Novel Summary: Stave 2
		The Ghost responds, “I am!,” in a voice the narrator notes is “singularly low, as if instead of being so close beside [Scrooge], it were at a distance.” This seemingly trivial detail actually illustrates the “distance” at which Scrooge has kept the memories of his past.
		The Ghost, somewhat impishly, forces Scrooge to acknowledge his nephew: the Ghost states that Fan left “children” behind when she died, and Scrooge must amend the plural form to the singular.
		When the Ghost asks whether Fezziwig’s inexpensive celebration deserves to be praised, Scrooge insists that his praise of his former master is due, not to the amount of money Fezziwig spent on the party, but to the fact that Fezziwig chose to make his apprentices and all around him happy.

		Focus on the idea of a ghost as a symbol, as something a writer uses to get across or do certain things (which differ greatly from writer to writer).
		Do a comparison/contrast paper on how two different writers use ghosts in their fiction to accomplish certain things (affect the reader, raise an issue, point to a problem, invoke a historical event).
		This works best when you consider an issue that two writers are approaching from different directions and analyze the significance of the similarities and differences in their approaches.
