Answer: N. Scott Momaday - who is a native American himself - finds ironic that white people claimed that they were arriving into the "new world" when in reality there were ancient civilizations already living on those lands, and this claim is one that they have continued to sustain up to this day.

When Europeans arrived in 1492, there were very large Indian populations scattered all across America with a rich history and culture, an element that vastly defers the logic of the discovery of a "new world".

Answer: Momaday characterizes the early inhabitants of North America as having “had  some sense of society, of community, of cooperation and a human sense of morality, an irresistible craving for order, beauty, appropriate behavior” and as “intensely spiritual”.

Explanation: Support that characterization with examples and details from the Native American origin stories and trickster stories.

500 word essay describing the theme of O. Henry’s “The Gift of the Magi”
jek_recluse [69]

There are two theme's to "The Gift of the Magi" one being Love and the other being Sacrifice. "The Gift of the Magi" gives it's lesson by showing that even in rough times there is still some "Love" in everyone's hearts.

By having the setting at Christmas time it shows the comparison to the men's gifts to Jesus.

Here is something to work off of because i am guessing you did not read it and are hoping for someone to do it for you.

Actually read it if you want a good grade.
