In “Hiawatha the Unifier,” why do the five tribes come together at the great council fire?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer and Explanation:

In the legend of Hiawatha the Unifier, the story of how the five great tribes came together to become the Iroquois people is told. The five tribes were originally one group of people taken care of and nourished by Hiawatha before he became mortal. They were separated, taught survival skills, given names and different languages by Hiawatha.

<u>However, at a certain point, wild tribes from the north began to prey on the five tribes. That is why they came together at the great council fire. They were told by Hiawatha to gather so that they could discuss the best way to deal with the threat of the northern tribes. During the meeting, among other things, Hiawatha told them to unite, becoming the Iroquois people, each tribe with its own specialty or skill that should help them as a whole. That way, they would survive the threat and prosper.</u>

Sidana [21]

Answer:

"cleverly" and "is an expert"

Explanation:

"Subjective expressions" are <em>words, phrases or even sentences that makes a statement biased.</em> It is a person's personal thought about an event, a situation, another person and so on.

In the sentence above, the words "cleverly" and "is an expert" are both subjective expressions. The reader doesn't know what it means to "cleverly allude." The writer's way of cleverly alluding might be different from the reader. So, it goes the same way with the phrase, "is an expert." The writer personally thinks that King is expressing himself to be an expert. It is only a personal opinion and not a fact.

Both of the expressions are just according to the writer's feelings and thoughts.
