Compare and Contrast: Myths and Cultures

Question 3 • Common Core ELA 9 - ELA3009 A-IC

Which excerpt from "The Maori: Genealogies and Origins in New Zealand” best shows how the Maori perceive their parents?

Answer
A
“We should kill our parents,” he suggested, for he was the god of war. “It will be difficult, but it is the only way we can truly be free!”
B
“We cannot do this,” he said. “Rangi and Papa are our parents. They have created us, made us who we are.”
C
“The Sky Father will watch us from above, while the Earth Mother nourishes us from below.”
D
“It is impossible!” cried Tû. “We should kill them. There is no other way to be free.”

Explanation

Choice B shows that the Maori view Rangi and Papa as their parents and recognize that their parents created them and shaped who they are. The other excerpts focus on proposals to kill them or describe what the Sky Father and Earth Mother do, rather than directly expressing how the Maori perceive them as parents.
