Read this excerpt from the cherokee creation story "how the world was made":

when all was water, the animals were above in galûñ’lati, beyond the arch; but it was very crowded, and they wanted more room. they wondered what was below the water, and at last beaver’s grandchild, the little water-beetle, offered to go and see if he could learn. he darted in every direction over the surface of the water, but could find no firm place to rest. then he dived to the bottom and came up with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island that we call earth. it was afterward fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this.

at first earth was flat and very soft and wet. the animals were anxious to get down, and set out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but they found no place to alight and came back again to galûñ’lati. at last it seemed to be time, and they sent out the buzzard and told him to go and make ready for them…

when earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west, just overhead…

Read the sample student claim. if university education was made free for everyone, i would be thrilled because more people would go to college and pursue successful careers. why is this not an effective claim? check all that apply. it is a topic with two or more viewpoints. it does not contain the writer’s opinion. it is simply a personal preference or feeling. it does not present supporting evidence. it cannot be supported with logical reasons.
