Compare and Contrast: Myths and Cultures

Question 10 • Common Core ELA 9 - ELA3009 A-IC

Based on a comparison of the myths "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand” and "The Raven and the First Men: The Beginnings of the Haida,” if the Maori and the Haida people decided to create a myth together, what would most likely be the value expressed?

Answer
A
the need for freedom
B
the importance of family
C
the advantage of cleverness
D
the significance of individuality

Explanation

Both myths explain origins through relationships and connections among beings. The Maori myth traces creation through genealogies, emphasizing ancestry and kinship, while the Haida myth describes Raven bringing the first people into the world. A shared myth would therefore most likely express the importance of family, rather than freedom, cleverness, or individuality.
