ANCIENT STORIES

How is the language in this text similar to and/or different from the language you use in everyday conversation

the story used more formal language than i think most people would.                           

• Because it began as an oral story, "Earth on Turtle's Back" can be found in multiple text versions.  How important is it for a story to be repeated word for word?  Is meaning embellished, distorted, lost, or enhanced in the retelling?

i think its important to be repeated word for word because if it wasn't the story would be different with the slightest change to word that can change how you feal about something
