Greek mythology
because that word means unworldly
The Medicine bag, on the text, represents the family's "coming of age" tradition for the boys, acting as a token for protection and a way to remember the self-discovery journey of the family's great-great-grandfather.
What conveys that the medicine bag is a symbol of manhood is the following excerpt:
<em> “I sent your mother and sister away. What you will hear today is only for a man’s ears. What you will receive is only for a man’s hands.” </em>
The statement is supported by the tales about the other male members of the family enduring hard times and finding support on the medicine bag, on the belief of the guiding spirits that once provided the symbol.
The question that a reader should ask to identify an author's purpose is "Why did the author write this text?"
I think the answer is C. By using short punchy phrases
Can be read in one sitting
deals with a single problem
develops both main and minor characters
