ANCIENT STORIES Q&A

                                                                 QUESTION

• How is the language in this text similar to and/or different from the language you use in everyday conversation?
• Because it began as an oral story, "Earth on Turtle's Back" can be found in multiple text versions.  How important is it for a story to be repeated word for word?  Is meaning embellished, distorted, lost, or enhanced in the retelling?

                                                                          ANSWER

The language in the short story is similar to today world because most of the words we use on a daily. For example ''I know'', "to", "are" , ''there'' ,''tried'' ,and ect.
Also how in the story almost all the sentences are short that how when people text now a days there short sentences. Also everything easy to follow and read.


It is important to tell the story because if the story not told word by word the story can have a total different meaning. Also the story always better when it told word by word most of the time not all the time.
