ANCIENT STORIES

1.) The language from the story is very different to our conversation talk because we don't use the same words over and over everyday. It also feels weird saying the same words each time because when you're talking to your friend they're reaction is going to be, "Why is he saying the same words over and over."
2.) Repeating words over in a poem or story is good. It would let you understand what the poem or story trying to tell you. If the story "Earth on Turtle's Back" didn't use the same word for the story, you wouldn't understand the story at all.
