Based on "the origin of the robin," which statement best illustrates the ojibwa view on an individual's growth and change?
a. growth and change occur as a result of conflict.
b. growth and change occur spontaneously.
c. growth and change are decided by the gods.
d. growth and change are usually predictable.

The correct answer is the following: option A. Based on "The Origin of the Robin" the statement that best illustrates the Ojibwa view on an individual's growth and change is that both growth and change occur as a result of conflict. The Ojibwa was the community that was settled on the Northeastern side of America and was one of the biggest Native American communities.

"The Origin of the Robin" is a a Chippewa story and as most Native American myths, its purpose was to carry a message either to the children of the community, or the adults. It tells the story of how a father made his child almost starve for various days in order for him to be the strongest of all the children of their community. His child obeyed his father, although he asked for the fast to finish several times. In the end the son becomes a Robin bird who would sing to his father, to cheer him up as he would no longer become what his father expected him to be.

The story shows by the suffering of both the son and the father, that growth and change always happen as a result of conflict, in this case the pain the son had to bear in order to be free at last, and the conflict that aroused between father and son in that process.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
