Ancient Stories Q&A

Questions:

How is the language in this text similar to and/or different from the language you use in everyday conversation?

Answer: The language the text uses is quiet similar, but not so different in what I use on a conversation with my friends. The writer telling the story is using words such as ; expecting, grasping, budge, and sacred. Those words are used sometimes when I talk with relatives and friends. The writer has the a similar vocabulary structure like me. But the difference is he or she is describing the story they were told in a third person view, using he, she, etc. They are describing the story as if he or she is repeating word for word from a other story teller.

Because it began as an oral story, "Earth on the Turtles Back" can be found in multiple text versions. How important is it for a story to be repeated embellished, distorted, lost, or enhanced in the retelling?

Answer: It is important to repeat the story as it was told the first time. In addition, if one person were to say it differently, then their might a huge commotion of who's right. As for embellished, people can be creative and tell it in a different way,to make the story more interesting.
