Answer:

"The Earth Only" makes the philosophical claim that "Every living thing will not endure".

Explanation:

"The Earth Only" is a poem that is a kind of celebration for the endurance of the natural world as compared to that of the living things including humans. Through the words of the old men, the poem reveals the true way of life in that nature endures but others don’t.

A form of Native American literature, the poem deals with the theme of how nature will endure everything. The poem uses the old men as the epitome or voice of the true spirit, stating that <em>"the earth only endures"</em> while everything else doesn't. This <u>Teton Sioux poem makes the philosophical claim in the statement of the old men "the earth only endures" while leaving out the other point that everything else including humans don't. </u>

Thus, the claim that every living thing will not endure is made in the poem.

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions regarding it. This prevents me from giving you any answers. However, to help you out, I'll explain what the text presented means. Hope it's useful.

The text posed in the question above is an excerpt from "Of Plymouth Plantation" written by William Bradford, where he presents a real account of the life of the first English settlers, recently arrived in America. In this excerpt, he shows how the arrival in America was very challenging for all the settlers. They had already faced problems on the way between England and America and when they arrived in the new world, they landed in a place where there was no one to help them with anything. The settlers had neither house nor food, they had to face the harsh winter without any resources to protect them, they did not know any place they could shelter and lived in constant concern about being attacked by the "savages", that is, the natives.
