In order to calculate an accurate answer, we would really need to know the cost
of the textbooks.  We don't know that, and they're not even all the same.

There's a good reason that you were given this question is Civics class, and
before I work on it for you, I want you to promise that you'll go to your teacher
on your way out of class someday soon, and tell your teacher that the guy who
helped you answer this question knows how the teacher feels, and that guy
feels the same way.

Ok.  In order to give you a feeling for the answer, let's try to come up with a
cost that might be a reasonably close figure to use for text books in general.
Now, I know that things have gone completely out of sight since I was in school,
so I'm going to try hard to go high with my numbers.  Let's say that the smallest
textbook costs $20, and the biggest one costs $60, and let's use  $40 as an
estimate for the average cost of every new textbook.

If that's true, then the number of text books that I could buy with $5 billion
would be

(5,000,000,000) / (40) = <u>125 million textbooks</u> ! ! !

If the federal government would spend $5 billion on textbooks, there
would hardly be a high school student anywhere in the USA who didn't
have at least one brand new, up-to-date textbook.

And I can promise you that the book publishers would love it too.

What aspects of life on earth are explained in the myth "Coyote Finishes His Work"?

Myths and Archetypes 

2 Essential Question(s) What are myths and archetypes? Why are they important to Native American literature? 

3 “The Sky Tree” and “Coyote Finishes His Work” “The Sky Tree” is a creation myth of the Huron, a Native American people of the eastern woodlands. “Coyote Finishes His Work” has been handed down through the tradition of the Nez Perce, a Native American people of the Plateau culture who lived in what is now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. 

4 Myth A myth is an anonymous traditional story that is basically religious in nature and that usually serves to explain a belief, ritual, or mysterious natural phenomenon. Myths are usually connected with religious rituals and explain the world the people live in and their traditions. 

5 Archetype An archetype is a very old imaginative pattern that appears in literature across cultures and is repeated through the ages. An archetype can be a character, a plot, an image, a theme, or a setting. Examples Plots- the death of the hero, boy wins girl, the journey Characters- the trickster, the savior, the rescued maiden Images- a place where people never die, a golden cup, hoarded treasure 

6 Understanding Cultural Characteristics It is important to recognize difference in literary traditions when reading works by members of different cultures. Since American Indian literature was handed down orally by storytellers, these pieces lose some of their power in written form. 

7 Assignment Read “The Sky Tree” on page 24. Then, read “Coyote Finishes His Work” on page 25. Page 26-Reading Check and Thinking Critically 

8 “The Sky Tree” What was the world like in the beginning? How does the myth explain the origin of the earth as we know it today? What aspects of the settings in this myth are archetypes? What other stories have used the same archetypes? 

9 “Coyote Finishes His Work” What aspects of life on earth are explained in this myth? Metamorphoses, or shape changes, are common in myths of all cultures. What metamorphoses take place in this myth? 

10 What other archetypes did you find? The tree in the Huron myth is an archetype—that of the life-giving tree. Coyote in the Nez Perce myth is an archetype—that of the trickster hero.

Evaluate Does the speaker think her father has remained true tohimself? Would the father agree? Support your response with evide
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

One theme is IDENTITY., or the loss of identity.

The speaker's father is without title, which means that his cultural identity was lost because he chose to move to the city and work

Explanation

What words in the poem indicate the cultural identity of the speaker and the father?

buffalo, shaman, arrow, hunt, first kill, buffalo song, vision, horns and hides, animal tracks, bow string

How can we tell that the speaker is comparing and contrasting 2 'worlds' in this poem?

Two 'worlds' or cultures are compared in this poem: the Native American society and the mainstream American society.

The speaker talks about 'hunting' in the wild which Native Americans did, but the father "hunted" in the stockyards. (He worked in a place where herds of cattle are kept.)

Native American boys went on 'vision' quests to find the spiritual meaning of their life but the father was "without a vision" when "he migrated to the city...to work in a packing house." In mainstream American society, a boy becomes a man when he starts working and earning money, which the speaker's father did. The maturity that the father achieved was not the same as in Native American culture.
