Earth on Turtle's Back Theme/Tone

The theme for Earths on Turtle's Back was size doesn't matter and work as a team to achieve your goal. The muskrat got to the bottom and he was so tiny and no one believed and him but he said he was going to touch it no matter what he had a goal and he ended up achieving it. The tone is kind of suspenseful because of how we don't know what going to happen with the Sky Women.

Richard Cory Theme/Tone

The tone of Richard Cory is like so beautiful . It starts off by a beautiful tone talking about how people admire Richard and wish they were him . No one knows how Richard thinks or how his life is. At the end of the story it has this mysterious horror tone it sad how everyone loved the person Richard Cory showed he was, but he ended up comiting suicide. :( The theme of this story is to be loving and blessed for what you do have and stop wanting what others got because you're going to regret it.

Earth/Turtles Response

Earth on Turtle's Back is a really interesting text. Basically, what this text is about is how the new earth was made. Seeds fell from the Sky Women onto soil and trees and grass sprang up making earth.I really like this story is fiction and I love stories . Honestly if I find a story I like I will read it to the end. Conflict is important in a story because everyone likes drama and chisme like I don't know why people can't stay out . It's funny how every one tried to go under ground and the smallest animal saved the women and made earth.
