Based on this passage, which values seem to be most
important to the mäori?
rangi, the sky father, held his beloved, papa, and
together they bore many sons who were not human, but
rather elements of nature. these sons loved their parents,
but rangi and papa's embrace was so tight that they had
no space to move or to lead their lives. they lay in the
darkness, constricted and unhappy.
tü, the first son, decided that he and his brothers must
act. "we should kill our parents," he suggested, for he
was the god of war. "it will be difficult, but it is the only
way we can truly be free! "

"but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
