Question

How is the conflict between the twins resolved? What does the resolution suggest about the Iroquois’ view of both twins? Support your responses with evidence from the text.

Answer 1

Answer:

The conflict between the twins is resolved with the defeat of Flint, the twin for evil purposes. This kind of resolution shows that for the Iroquois the twins had a strong influence on our world, but even though the twin is barely influential, he is not pareo to defeat the good twin

Explanation:

The Iroquois explained the creation of the world through a myth that explained that everything we know in the world was created by two divine twins called Sapling and Flint. Sampling was kind and created everything good that we know in nature, but Flint was mean and modified his brothers' creations by adding bad elements, such as winter and fish bones.

For the Iroquois, the twins represented good and evil. One day, they went to war and although the evil twin has great strength, he was defeated by the good twin, however it is still possible to feel Flint's evils through volcanic eruptions.
