Answer:

D: It features a reference to a supernatural being.

Explanation:

"The Beginnings of the Maasai" is a creation myth that talks about the creation or beginning of the Maasai tribe and how their life revolves around the divine and nature. The given passage is also evidence of how the tribe revere and maintain a relationship with certain entities of god and their overall 'love' for all things including nature.

In the given passage, the narrator reveals how the people take their relationship with <em>"Enkai" </em>as an essential part of their lives. The god also exudes different entities depending on his 'mood', <em>"Enkai Narok"</em> for the happy and calm god while <em>"Enkai Nonyokie"</em> or the red Sun when angry.

Compare and contrast the use of sound devices in both poems mother to son and the village blacksmith
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

The use of sound in both poems is very different in the first hand in the poem mother to son: is composed of free narrative verse, with repetition and consonance, while the poem the village of the blacksmith contains: onomatopoeia rhyming, repetition, alliteration, and meter.

Explanation:

The reasons behind this answer are that in the first place the poem of "Mother to Son" is a poem with a strong focus in the sound of letter "o" as well as in the middle part of the sentence. Focusing on the internal and end rhymes. In the second place the poem of "village blacksmith" is a poem with free verse, meaning that there is not a strict sound or rhythm. With a strong focus on repetition and consonances because the sound of "d" "s" and "n" is very strong in it.
