The correct answer is the following: <em>option A. Based on "The Origin of the Robin" the statement that best illustrates the Ojibwa view on an individual's growth and change is that both growth and change occur as a result of conflict.</em> The Ojibwa was the community that was settled on the Northeastern side of America and was one of the biggest Native American communities.
"The Origin of the Robin" is a a Chippewa story and as most Native American myths, its purpose was to carry a message either to the children of the community, or the adults. It tells the story of how a father made his child almost starve for various days in order for him to be the strongest of all the children of their community. His child obeyed his father, although he asked for the fast to finish several times. In the end the son becomes a Robin bird who would sing to his father, to cheer him up as he would no longer become what his father expected him to be.
The story shows by the suffering of both the son and the father, that growth and change always happen as a result of conflict, in this case the pain the son had to bear in order to be free at last, and the conflict that aroused between father and son in that process.
