His Very Silence Speaks addresses larger issues such as the human relationship to animals and nature, cross-cultural differences in the ways animals are perceived, and the symbolic use of living and legendary animals in human cognition and communication.
Rodeo people call their sport "more a way of life than a way to
make a living." Rodeo is, in fact, a rite that not only expresses a
way of life but perpetuates it, reaffirming in a ritual contest
between man and animal the values of American ranching society.
Elizabeth Atwood Lawrence uses an interpretive approach to analyze
rodeo as a symbolic pageant that reenacts the "winning of the West"
and as a stylized expression of frontier attitudes toward man and
nature. Rodeo constestants are the modern counterparts of the
rugged and individualistic cowboys, and the ethos they inherited is
marked by ambivalence: they admire the wild and the free yet desire
to tame and conquer.
