Answer:
The myth would have a strong cultural value expressed.
Explanation:
The Maori and Haida myths alone have a strong cultural value, as they represent the beliefs and culture of two ancient civilizations that are very influential in local culture. However, if these two groups created a myth together, the cultural value expressed would be much greater, as the new myth would present a comprehensive view on the beliefs and culture of the people of New Zealand, understanding the duscultures and showing the interaction between them.
Often a character will include something that is bothering them or something that is recurring in order for the reader to understand why the character acts the way they do or to get a sense of why they are feeling a certain way. In this case, this may also be a foreshadow into what might occur later in the novel. Either way, elements like these add to the tone (the author's attitude) and the mood (the readers feelings) about the text, and allows the reader to start to feel certain ways towards Pony. It also aids in the characterization if the novel.
