The similarity between the two myths that these passages illustrate is that:

Both cultures thought nature was important.

The Maori creation myth tells the story how humans were born and how nature helped in their birth by sacrificing themselves. According to this creation myth, the earth and heaven were once joined as Ranhinui.   Papatuanuku was the sky father and the mother Ranhinui was the Earth and they had many children. The children lived in the darkness and wanted to live in the light. The children separated the parents in order to live in the light. The parents continue to grieve for each other until the present day.

The Haida creation myth is about a trickster named Raven who stole the sun, the moon and the stars in order to bring light to his created world. He created animals, fish, trees, men, and all the creatures but they lived in darkness because of which he stole light.

marissa [1.9K]

Chugged is the main word that should give it away. It is kind of exaggerating the car going up the mountain. I assume it would be a hyperbole.

Apparition has two different meanings: a ghost or ghostlike image of a person, and <span>the appearance of something remarkable or unexpected, typically an image of this type. It refers to ghosts.

Calumnious seems like it is referring to beauty or telling someone that they are beautiful.

Imminent means certain. Like saying that death is imminent.

Affliction means causing pain or suffering. Like how the book The Fault in Our Stars refers to the book by Peter Van Houten, An Imperial Affliction, which actually means "An empire of pain and suffering".

Awry means away from the appropriate, planned or expected course; or amiss.

Lament means a passionate expression of grief or sorrow, or showing regret.

A paradox is </span><span>a seemingly absurd or self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well founded or true.

Repugnant means </span><span>extremely distasteful or unacceptable.

I really hope this helps, have a nice day!!!!!!!</span>

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

In this excerpt from Act V, Scene V, of "The Tragedy of Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare, and the background information on the allusion it contains, affect the reader's understanding because <u>It shows that Brutus is afraid he will be tortured if he is still alive when his enemies arrive.</u>

Explanation:

Brutus is an honorable man, who was convinced by the other conspirators to kill Julius Caesar. He did it for Rome's sake, believing he was saving the future of Rome. He knows that his soldiers have been defeated, and he has seen Caesar's ghost. He wants to die honorably and knows that if his enemies arrive before he is dead they will torture him. So he asks Strato to hold his sword, and he runs on it.

In the context of her article, what does Liaugminas mean by "intelligent citizens"? How has the meaning of this term changed fro
vova2212 [387]

In the article "How the Media Twists the News," Sheila Gribben Liaugminas explains that "intelligent news consumers" are those who pay attention to the ways in which media presents the news. She argues that being this intelligent consumer means that you realize that not everything you hear is valid, well-researched or unbiased. Moreover, an "intelligent citizen" employs this well-researched information to act in society. I believe that through the use of these two terms, the author makes a strong and valid call to action. She is effective when it comes to explaining that this is a vital task for all citizens. Moreover, she is explicit in how not doing so can affect our society and increase ignorance among the public.
