1. I think that this unit will be talking about what the main theme in the stories are. Theme is whats the main thing they are talking about in the story. I think imagination is important because you can picture what you think about something better than to read something and imagine what someone else is saying.
2."He looked round for his gun, but in place of the clean, well-oiled fowling-piece, he found an old fire lock lying by him". I chose this quote because RIP was in the woods drinking liquor and I assume he was tipsy or drunk and fail asleep and he was sleep for twenty years. In New York it snows in the winter, so therefore there is no way that RIP slept for twenty years because he would have got frozen to death.
"The children of the village, too, would shout with joy whenever he approached. He assisted at their sports, made their playthings, taught them to fly kites and shoot marbles, and told them long stories of ghost witches and Indians". I picked this piece when i first started reading this story I didn't think RIP was a regular person, but he showed he was because he helped the children do things that other people in the village wouldn't maybe do with or for them.
3."Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, Save his own dashing --yet the dead are there:" I chose this one because it seemed to me that he thought no one was there but the dead really was there.
5A."The flowers, the animals, the mountains, reflected the wisdom of his best hour, as much as they had delighted the simplicity of his childhood". I chose this one because it reminds me of nature. It makes me think of wanting to visit a place where animals are in the mountains any its filled with plants.

Unit 2
1. I think in this unit we will learn about Historical Narratives. We will also do some objective and subjective things. I think in this unit we will read alot of Historical myths. This unit will be much harder than the first unit.
2.Subjective: The melody of the birds was so exquisite that one was never willing to part from the spot. This is subjective because i feel that he is stretching the truth.
Objective: Going round one of these lakes, I saw a snake, which we killed, and I have kept the skin for your Highnesses; upon being discovered. This is objective because he is not stretching the truth as much.
Objective:departed, there remained neither tavern,beer house,nor place of relief but the common kettle.
Obejective:Before a fire upon a seat like a bedstead, he sat covered with a great robe made of racoon skins and all the tails hanging by. This is objective because it doesn't give much detail.
Subjective:each hour expecting the fury of the savages;when God, the patron of all good endeavors,in that desperate extremity so changed the hearts of the savages that they brought such plenty of their fruits and provision as no man wanted.This is subjective because it is more specific than a objective.
3.In this unit I have read two different stories. I liked both of the stories.One of them was very interesting. The other one was okay but not as interesting as the first one. No I do not think that the historical overweighs what was written.
4.Yes i think that my work address the georgia standards. I understood the standards more last time than this time. But its okay I still got a lilttle understanding but not very much. Yes i can provide answers for the essential questions in unit two.

Unit 1
1. This unit will cover oral stories about things that happened long ago. We use oarl traditions to help us know what happened back in the time like write songs or myths. We used a song called jingo bells to help remember that it came from back in time but it's always remembered.
2.Michael row the baot ashore.... Michael row the boat ashore,Hallelujah
Michael row the baot ahore....Hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, Hallelujah
Sister help to trim the sail, Hallelujah
3.My example of American Literature was a story. I found the story on google. The story is about a boy trying to get his boat back to shore. His sister helped him, it took time. When he got the boat back to shore. He always kept saying Hallelujah.
4.Yes , I can tell what was important to the people. They wanted to get to earth before anyone else did. Onandaga wanted to be the first one's to know about the earth. I can tell because, they raced to getting to it. This is very sad,"he said, "for it's a dream of great power and we must do all we can to make it come true".
5.
When the Earth was young it had a family. The moon, or Grandmother and the sun, called Grandfather. The Earth was a woman - Mother Earth - because from her came all living things. Mother Earth was given four directions - East, South, West, and North, each with physical and spiritual powers.When Mother Earth was young Creator, or Gichi-Manidoo as Ojibwe people call him, filled her with beauty. He sent singers in the form of birds and swimmers in the water. He placed plants, trees, insects, crawlers and four-legged animals on the land.Gichi-Manidoo then blew into four parts of Mother Earth using the sacred megis shell. From the union of these four and his breath, two-leggeds or man, was born. Thus, man was the last form of life to be put on Earth. From this original man came the Anishinaabe - or The Original People.
In this myth they said that earth had a family. They also gave the people on earth a name. They said earth was a woman. All living things came from mother earth. She was given four diretions North, South, East, West. She then invented insects and birds. They felt that creating the earth was important.Mother Earth was given four directions - East, South, West, and North, each with physical and spiritual powers. I personally dont see any similarities from the myths I have read. Yes there are simalarities in out culture because people still have children. The animals still make children. Thats wat makes earth.
CLOSING:
In this unit I thought that we would learn about oral stories. We used oral traditions to learn what happened back in the days. I learned that things back then is very important for us to know know a days.
