Back in the old days, Brer Lizard was an awful lot like Brer Frog, meaning he could sit upright like a dog. Things were like this for quite a spell. Then one day when they were walking down the road by their swamp, Brer Lizard and Brer Frog spotted some real nice pasture land with a great big pond that was on the far side of a great big fence. Ooo did that land look good. Looked like a great place for Brer Lizard to catch insects and other good food. And Brer Frog wanted a swim in that big ol’ pool. Brer Lizard and Brer Frog went right up to the fence, which got bigger and bigger as they approached. It kinda loomed over them, as big and tall as they were little and small. And the boards of that fence were mashed together real tight, and deep into the ground. It was too tall to hop over, and neither of them was much good at digging, so they couldn’t go under. That fence said Keep Out pretty clear, even though no one had put a sign on it. Well, Brer Lizard and Brer Frog sat beside that tall fence with their bottoms on the ground and their front ends propped up, ‘cause Brer Lizard could still sit upright then jest like a dog, and they tried to figure out how to get through the fence. Suddenly, Brer Frog saw a narrow crack, low to the ground. “I’m going ta squeeze through that crack over there,” he croaked. “Lawd, help me through!” And Brer Frog hopped over and pushed and squeezed and struggled and prayed his way through that tiny crack until he popped out on t’other side. “Come on Lizard,” Brer Frog called through the crack.
“I’m a-comin’!” Brer Lizard called back. “I’m a-goin’ to squeeze through this here crack, Lawd willin’ or not!” Brer Lizard scurried over to the crack in the fence and he pushed and squeezed and struggled and cursed. Suddenly, a rail fell down and mashed him flat! After that, Brer Lizard couldn’t sit upright no more. And he never did get through that fence to eat them insects, neither!
3. What do you think of your example? What is it about? Write a 2-3 sentence response to what you chose.
What i think about my example was that it was basically telling a story about how the lizard dosent sit up straight any more,"The story was bout a frog and a lizard that was very interested in a very big fence that had tasty insects over the big fenceand they were desprit to get to them that they was gone do anything they good no matter what to get to them so the frog went across first and made it but the lizard got stuck and the fence fell on him and mashed him to the ground and he could never stand up straight anymore", i think that this example was very simple an told a quick short way about how the lizard became flat

The culture that had written this story was very faithful to there culture and there people because they are very confident and determined to do whats right for there people. How i can tell was because no matter what it took they were determined to get what they wanted done

# 1. The importance of this myth was the way of life
#2. My evidence would be"Those plants that did stay awake, such as the pine and cedar and those few others were rewarded by being allowed to remain green all year. All the others were made to lose their leaves each winter. Those animals that did stay awake, such as the owl and the mountain lion and those few others were rewarded with the ability to go about in the dark. Then the people appeared. "
#3. The similarities in all the myths we have read are that they all are doing something to help someone or their talkn bout the way of life or how it was created and some knew things that we learn everyday
#4. There are alot of similarites in the myths that we read that relate to our culture. The reason i say that is because there are many things that our familys and friends do today that leads us on into learning somthing knew or helping us learn about our culture and the way of life .
1. Add some evidence to #4 to show me why you think this.
