b. Why do turtles have strange markings on their shells?
e. How was the Earth created?
Explanation:
"The Earth On Turtle's Back" by Michael J. Caduto and Joseph Bruchac tells the myth or how the Native Americans believe to be the origin of life and the whole earth. It tells the story of how things began, how some phenomenons came about, and what led to the creation of the earth that we're living on now.
In the myth, the Onondaga people believe that the earth was formed as a result of the fall of the Ancient Chief's wife from Skyland. In their attempt to keep her safe, the animals tried hard to find land for the pregnant woman. In her fall, she had some seeds from the tree she was leaning on, and when the earth was made on the turtle's back, the seeds were put and they grew to make the earth. Also, the myth also tells the story of how the turtles have strange markings on their shells, which was a result of Muskrat's paw with the earth that he'd placed on the turtle's back to make a safe place for the woman.
Thus, the correct answers are option a. b, and e.
The correct spelling would be "traitor".
Answer:
Life is a constant battle of dealing with a struggle, an addiction, perhaps pressure from so many sides. At some point in my life, I had to deal with at least one of these. Mine was low self-esteem. I had to constantly seek validation from others; despite my intelligence and drive for success. I appreciated the approval of people to run my life. Along life's way, I encountered a lot of people that took advantage of my vulnerability. I came to realize that people you meet always have a role to play in your life. I silently battled with my struggle until I met this individual (Mark), who on one of my insecure days told me that I did well at a particular presentation which seemed not perfect to me.
Unknown to me, he was my new Lecturer. His words meant a lot to me. The words of encouragement was a great deal because it was needed at that time. His words shaped me into a better person because I started to believe in my abilities. His words still resonate in my mind " do not fidget, always keep your chin up, you have got this, you are the best".
The most difficult part of the learning experience was when I failed a subject. I would constantly switch to my former self while trying to be strong. I would cry myself to sleep. I read my books overnight and spent hours in the Library during school hours. I just wanted to be the best. I had to double my efforts when I did not get the grades I wanted. I realized i was very intelligent and that the fears within made me fail so many times.
