Answer 1

Explain which story you chose and briefly summarize the plot.
Identify key choices the author made in writing the story. For example, consider where the story is set, how the action is ordered, or how the characters are introduced and developed.
Analyze the impact of the author’s choices, discussing how these decisions affect both the story’s meaning and the reader’s experience.
Organize your ideas so that each new idea builds on the one it follows to create a unified whole.

Answer 2

Before there were people on earth, the Chief
of the Sky Spirits grew tired of his home in
the Above World, because the air was always
brittle with an icy cold. So he carved a hole
in the sky with a stone and pushed all the
snow and ice down below until he made a
great mound that reached from the earth
almost to the sky. Today it is known as
Mount Shasta.
Then the Sky Spirit took his walking
stick, stepped from a cloud to the peak,
and walked down the mountain. When
he was about halfway to the valley
below, he began to put his finger to
the ground here and there, here and
there. Wherever his finger touched,
a tree grew. The snow melted in his
footsteps, and the water ran down
in rivers.
The Sky Spirit broke off the
small end of his giant stick and
threw the pieces into the rivers.
The longer pieces turned into
beaver and otter; the smaller
pieces became fish. When the
leaves dropped from the trees,
he picked them up, blew upon
them, and so made the birds.
Then he took the big end of his
giant stick and made all the
animals that walked on the
earth, the biggest of which were
the grizzly bears.
Now when they were first made, the bears
were covered with hair and had sharp claws, just
as they do today, but they walked on two feet and
could talk like people. They looked so fierce that the
Sky Spirit sent them away from him to live in the
forest at the base of the mountain.
Pleased with what he’d done, the Chief of the Sky Spirits decid-
ed to bring his family down and live on earth himself. The moun-
tains of snow and ice became their lodge. He made a big fire in the
center of the mountain and a hole in the top so that the smoke
and sparks could fly out. When he put a big log on the fire, sparks
would fly up and the earth would tremble.
Late one spring while the Sky Spirit and his family were sit-
ting round the fire, the Wind Spirit sent a great storm that shook
the top of the mountain. It blew and blew and roared and roared.
Smoke blown back into the lodge hurt their eyes, and finally the
Sky Spirit said to his youngest daughter, “Climb up to the smoke
hole and ask the Wind Spirit to blow more gently. Tell him I’m
afraid he will blow the mountain over.”
As his daughter started up, her father said, “But be careful not
to stick your head out at the top. If you do, the wind may catch you
by the hair and blow you away.”
The girl hurried to the top of the mountain and stayed well
inside the smoke hole as she spoke to the Wind Spirit. As she was
about to climb back down, she remembered that her father had
once said you could see the ocean from the top of their lodge. His
daughter wondered what the ocean looked like, and her curiosity
got the better of her. She poked her head out of the hole and turned
toward the west, but before she could see anything, the Wind Spirit
caught her long hair, pulled her out of the mountain, and blew
her down over the snow and ice. She landed among the scrubby
fir trees at the edge of the timber and snow line, her long red hair
trailing over the snow.
There a grizzly bear found the little girl when he was out hunt-
ing food for his family. He carried her home with him, and his wife
brought her up with their family of cubs. The little red-haired girl
and the cubs ate together, played together, and grew up together.
When she became a young woman, she and the eldest son of
the grizzly bears were married. In the years that followed they had
many children, who were not as hairy as the grizzlies, yet did not
look exactly like their spirit mother, either.
All the grizzly bears throughout the forests were so proud of
these new creatures that they made a lodge for the red-haired
mother and her children. They placed the lodge near Mount
Shasta—it is called Little Mount Shasta today.
After many years had passed, the mother grizzly bear knew
that she would soon die. Fearing that she should ask of the Chief of
the Sky Spirits to forgive her for keeping his daughter, she gathered
all the grizzlies at the lodge they had built. Then she sent her eldest
grandson in a cloud to the top of Mount Shasta, to tell the Spirit
Chief where he could find his long-lost daughter.
When the father got this news he was so glad that he came
down the mountainside in giant strides, melting the snow and
tearing up the land under his feet. Even today his tracks can be
seen in the rocky path on the south side of Mount Shasta.
As he neared the lodge, he called out, “Is this where my little
daughter lives?”
He expected his child to look exactly as she had when he saw
her last. When he found a grown woman instead, and learned that
the strange creatures she was taking care of were his grandchil-
dren, he became very angry. A new race had been created that was
not of his making! He frowned on the old grandmother so sternly
that she promptly fell dead. Then he cursed all the grizzlies:
“Get down on your hands and knees. You have wronged me,
and from this moment all of you will walk on four feet and never
talk again.”
He drove his grandchildren out of the lodge, put his daughter
over his shoulder, and climbed back up the mountain. Never again
did he come to the forest. Some say that he put out the fire in the
center of his lodge and took his daughter back up to the sky to live.
Those strange creatures, his grandchildren, scattered and
wandered over the earth. They were the first Indians, the
ancestors of all the Indian tribes.
That’s why the Indians living around Mount Shasta would
never kill a grizzly bear. Whenever a grizzly killed an Indian, his
body was burned on the spot. And for many years all who passed
that way cast a stone there until a great pile of stones marked the
place of his death.

Answer 4

I am writing a essay on the story "When Grizzlies Walked upright". They thought that before there was people on the Earth, the Chief of the Sky Spirits got tired of his home in the Above World. So, he decided to push down all the snow and ice down from his brutally cold home all the way down to earth, until he created a great mound known as Mount Shasta. The spirit then took his walking stick and started down the mountain. On his way down he began to put his finger in the ground in certain spaces and in those spaces trees grew. The spirit then broke off pieces of his walking stick and from these pieces, creatures such as otters, fish, beavers, and most importantly grizzlies, began to form. The grizzlies were made to be the best animal created since they could all walk on two legs and had the ability to speak. The Spirit eventually brings down his family to go live with him. One day, while the family was sitting around a fire, the Wind Spirit sent a great storm that shook the mountain. The Sky Spirit told his daughter to climb up the mountain and ask the Wind Spirit to blow more gently. She does this, but while searching for the ocean, she sticks her head through the smoke hole and her hair is caught by the wind and she is pulled out of the mountain and over the snow and ice. A grizzly bear finds her and brings her home where the family raises her and eventually has her marry their eldest son. The two had many children and all were so proud of these new creatures born from the Sky Spirit’s daughter. When the mother grizzly was in the presence of death she told the Sky Spirit where to find his lost daughter. He came down the mountain to find his daughter fully grown and have grandchildren of a species he had not created. For this, the grizzlies lost their abilities to speak and walk on two legs. These new creatures that were scattered to wander the Earth were the first Indians.
