He describes in depth the effects on the communities social and mental state as well as showing the effects of the influences of outside fisheries on the Miskito’s. The site of all this takes place in Caribbean waters of the coast of Nicaragua. The coast is a very abundant place for the Miskito.
The sources that I read were about a brilliant man called David Bushnell who made the Turtle. His brother,Erza, is the one who actually the one who first tried use the Turtle. It also has that his nbrother although he failed his objective still succeded because they saw him as he fleed and then decided that it would be best to leave because next time they might actually suceed so they didn 't take any chances so they left.

As the novel progresses, Taylor begins to mature and take on the motherhood of Turtle’s life, the day she first met in Oklahoma. Kingsolver uses motherhood to proclaim Taylor’s devotion to Turtle; just the same way Taylor’s mother supported her back in Kentucky. In Arizona, “the clouds were pink and flat and hilarious looking like the hippo ballerinas in a Disney Movie” (Kingsolver 35). Taylor had never seen anything like this back in Pittman Kentucky. The whole scene looked unreal to Taylor.

Turtle is the person who solves the mystery of Sam Westing by using the quote “It's not what you have it's what you don't have that counts”. The Westing Game book and movie have many similarities.

One of the significant proceedings that occurred in the book was when Turtle was abused, again. The climax was where readers established an understanding toward the second incident, “All these months we had spent together were gone for her. I knew it from her eyes: two cups of black coffee…” (Kingsolver 222). This part of the plot was the most outrageous part because this time Turtle was hurt but the difference was that no one knew if she will ever go back to her happy self, not to mention it effected Taylor’s behavior toward everything.
In the allegory “The Turtle,” the author John Steinbeck explains that as life gets harder people work hard to succeed, and people may try to get in the way. Although the story does talk about a turtle climbing an embankment, people can relate to this story on an emotional level because they can understand overcoming the struggles in life.

After comparing and contrasting, “The Earth on Turtle’s Back,” to Genesis 1, one can see that both of these creation stories have two distinctive tales about how the Earth was
In various cultures, traditional stories of a universal beginning relate to the beliefs and rituals that are prevalent within that society. Although these creation stories differ among cultures, all display similar characteristics which constitute archetypal settings of creation myths, such as a great tree, the landmass from a watery chaos, and the fall of man. In the Iroquois’ creation myth, “The World on the Turtle’s Back”, the display of archetypal settings parallels the creation depicted in the book of Genesis, but underlying each similarity are differing interpretations which allow for the stories to relate to its specific culture. In both “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and the Genesis creation story, a prominent characteristic is the great tree connecting heaven and earth.
Native Americans have a very rich and interesting past. The story “The World on the Turtle’s Back” told by the Iroquois Indians is a story of how the world came to be and the good and evils in the world. The story “The Way to Rainy Mountain“ by Scott Momaday, is a story of about the Kiowa traditions and the way that they lived.

Finally, they include how the gods created man, woman, and earth.
