7 0
<span>Nellie Bly entered the mental facility "undercover" with the sole purpose of exposing the neglect and terrible conditions the patients faced.

</span><span>"10 Days in a Mad-house" could be considered research and journalism because it tells a true story based on investigation and research for the truth. It is not a piece of fiction, nor a didactic one. It's a book based on a series of articles made with the purpose to uncover a tremendous situation, with the aim to provide better solutions.

</span>She builds the tension of events by presenting the most horrific last.<span>

Nellie Bly </span><span>composes her journalistic piece "Ten Days in a Mad-House" and invoked her readers to anger by building the tension of events by presenting the most horrific last. In this way, people reacted in a very angry way because the last one is the one that is most likely to be remembered well by the people.

</span>The conditions of mental-health facilities are atrocious for the patients.

The central idea from "Ten Days in a Mad-House" is that the conditions of mental-health facilities are atrocious for the patients. The book is a collection of articles made by Nellie Bly, who went undercover in mental-health facilities in order to prove that the conditions of the facilities were tremendous for the patients. 

They are meant to be entertaining and present topics that will engage the reader and draw the reader into a narrative plot.

<span>"A Quilt of a Country", "Here is New York," and "10 Days in a Mad-house"  do not have in common their entertaining function, as they are not a narration made for entertainment purpose but for informative purpose. So, they do not engage the reader in order to entertain but to inform. The plot is based on the fact presented.

</span>They only present facts regarding a topic

<span>Informative texts are different from other types of writing and literature because they only present facts regarding a topic, while others forms of text could present ideas that come from imagination and do not have a correspondence with real fact, for example. Informative texts have the aim to inform. </span>

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.
