Read this quotation from "The World on Turtle's Back." The woman placed the dirt on Turtle's back and performed a ritual to crea

te the earth. She walked around the dirt in the direction of the sun until the earth grew large enough. Then she planted the roots from the Great Tree and continued her ritual to keep the earth growing. Like the sun she kept moving around the earth, in the same direction the people still do in dance rituals today. The main purpose of this quotation is to emphasize the importance of rituals in everyday life. prove that animals played a major role in the creation of the Earth. show why dancers move from east to west in rituals. describe the Iroquois belief of how the Earth was created.

I believe the correct answer is D. <span>describe the Iroquois belief of how the Earth was created. For the Iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. Also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the Earth's creation. This is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the Earth. Every culture has produced creation myths.</span>

Answer: describe the Iroquois belief of how the Earth was created.

A creation myth is a story by which a culture explains the origin of the world. "The World on Turtle's Back" is a creation myth of the Iroquois people of North America. This is clear from the excerpt as it states that the woman placed dirt on the Turtle's back and performed a ritual to create the earth.

Rewrite the scene with Jim and the boy from another point of view.
vovikov84 [41]

The door creaked and a rectangle of light fell onto the magazine that I was reading. I looked up to a boy who had come into the lobby was a stranger, about nineteen, tall and thin.

"Looking for someone?" I asked.

"No," the boy said. His long fingers trembled as they fumbled with the buttons of his coat.

"Well, may I help you with something?"

"No." The boy dropped his coat onto the worn tweed sofa and sat down slowly. In the light from the window his pale cheeks gleamed as if wet.

He's sick, I thought, while walking over to him. A narrow hand reached out and seized my wrist, cold, strong fingers twining around my arm like vines or snakes. I try to fight the impulse to pull away, looking down instead into the boy's troubled, grey eyes.

In this quote, and in the entire essay, what is Swift saying about the view and value of personhood in his society? Is there any
Snezhnost [94]

According to a different source, this question refers to the essay "A Modest Proposal" by Jonathan Swift.

Although we do not know what the quote you are referencing is, we are able to explain the claims that Swift makes throughout the entire essay.

In this essay, Swift makes a commentary about the view and value of personhood in his society. In this essay, he argues that poor Irish families should sell their children to wealthy English people in order for them to be eaten. Although the claim is absurd, what Swift wants to convey is that people value the lives of the poor, as well as the lives of the Irish, as less important than the lives of rich English people. In his society, such prejudice prevents people from valuing all lives equally.

This essay continues to be relevant today. Nowadays, we still believe some people are less worthy than others. For example, we care deeply about celebrities dying, but we do not care much about the hundreds of people who die from war or poverty everyday. As a society, the poor, the elderly, and foreigners are often seen as "less worthy" because of our prejudice. This view is also influenced by values in society pushed by the media, such as the celebration and admiration of extremely wealthy people.
