The Earth On Turtle's Back

Myth: a story that explains something we don't understand
Moral: a lesson

Lesson in this story: no matter how much doubt you have, try hard enough and you can achieve it

This story was definitely to support determination and resilience that someone has, in this case being the tiny muskrat that never gave up on finding earth no matter how far down she had to swim. Some might even say that the story was able to radiate the same meaning as the old saying, "it's not about the size of the dog in the fight, but it's about the size of the fight in the dog."

Purpose in this story: to tell the story of how one fearless little muskrat was able to save the world.

This was able to show that resilience from someone can create a positive impact that will lead to an even better ending.

Techniques used: suspense (rising action), personification ( more entertaining/easily remembered / easier to learn from)
