Question

In the first paragraph, the tale's narrator pronounces Coyote "foolish and greedy." Based on lines 5-13, what other character traits would you attribute to this trickster?

Answer 1

Aside from foolish and greedy, he is also disrespectful and full of himself. When he was traveling across the Rockies, he saw a skull of a Buffalo Bull. Instead of leaving it alone and continued with his search for meat, he decided to make fun of it. He kicked it and spit on its eye socket.  But when he saw that Buffalo Bull was alive, he immediately fled. This also signifies that he is a coward and the type of person who runs away from his troubles instead of facing them.
