The Little Boy Native American

These stories are similar in many ways and help to show the way the Native Americans thought. In the first story about the little boy who grew up with no parents. It showed the struggle of the little boy. From the time he was young and until he left he was all alone and had no help from other. His perseverance and strong will is what got him though all the difficult times in his young life. This is an element often shown in these stories. This is shown slightly in the second story as one of the two men was killed and then the other had to trust the woman and make the right decision by following her rules. This is another common theme, those that listen and obey the rules will be rewarded. This is clearly shown in the story of the little boy

The Choctaw had a story in which they describe how the earth was made. The earth is describes as floating and suspended by cords. The believed that the earth would grow old and the people would die and that the earth fall and begin anew. Once this happen the earth would be very wet and soft.

However, in the second story the man carefully places the earth down and then draws out where he wants rives to be placed. The actions seem more deliberate and thoughtful.
