Answer:

Importance of pronoun agreeing with number & gender of its antecedent

Explanation:

Pronoun is a word used instead of subject noun, for referring to it again & again. Eg : Ram (He) , Sita (She) , Ram & Sita (They) , Pen (It), Colors (These)

As in above egs, pronouns are as per noun's gender & number.

  • Ram (Singular, Male)  - He ; Sita (Singular, Female) - She ; Ram & Shyam (Plural) - They ; Pen (Singular, Nonliving) - It) ; Colors (Plural, Non living) - These

Pronoun rules gives clarity about noun being referred again in writing. If they don't adhere to these rules, the written content would not be properly clear.

Eg : Ram was asked to bring pen. He bought it. {The pronouns rightly use clearly depict that 'He' is used for Ram, 'It' for pen}

Myths and Archetypes 

2 Essential Question(s) What are myths and archetypes? Why are they important to Native American literature? 

3 “The Sky Tree” and “Coyote Finishes His Work” “The Sky Tree” is a creation myth of the Huron, a Native American people of the eastern woodlands. “Coyote Finishes His Work” has been handed down through the tradition of the Nez Perce, a Native American people of the Plateau culture who lived in what is now Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. 

4 Myth A myth is an anonymous traditional story that is basically religious in nature and that usually serves to explain a belief, ritual, or mysterious natural phenomenon. Myths are usually connected with religious rituals and explain the world the people live in and their traditions. 

5 Archetype An archetype is a very old imaginative pattern that appears in literature across cultures and is repeated through the ages. An archetype can be a character, a plot, an image, a theme, or a setting. Examples Plots- the death of the hero, boy wins girl, the journey Characters- the trickster, the savior, the rescued maiden Images- a place where people never die, a golden cup, hoarded treasure 

6 Understanding Cultural Characteristics It is important to recognize difference in literary traditions when reading works by members of different cultures. Since American Indian literature was handed down orally by storytellers, these pieces lose some of their power in written form. 

7 Assignment Read “The Sky Tree” on page 24. Then, read “Coyote Finishes His Work” on page 25. Page 26-Reading Check and Thinking Critically 

8 “The Sky Tree” What was the world like in the beginning? How does the myth explain the origin of the earth as we know it today? What aspects of the settings in this myth are archetypes? What other stories have used the same archetypes? 

9 “Coyote Finishes His Work” What aspects of life on earth are explained in this myth? Metamorphoses, or shape changes, are common in myths of all cultures. What metamorphoses take place in this myth? 

10 What other archetypes did you find? The tree in the Huron myth is an archetype—that of the life-giving tree. Coyote in the Nez Perce myth is an archetype—that of the trickster hero.

Can someone give me an essay​ on your point of view on TV?? Please and thank you:)
Fantom [35]
Television have been around for a while now and have given us entertainment. They have shows and movies streaming all the time and they give us a range of choices to watch. They have also helped businesses by promoting products and getting people to buy them. They also help the viewer because it had other commercials about careers and what stores to go to if you need certain things. Televisions are very useful and entertaining like for example they can be used to give information about animals or diseases. Almost all their commercials help people find answers or entertainment and that is why television are important.
