In some myths, an asexual mode of creation is implied; a child, for example, appears from the bud of a tree or from a split fruit, or a human being is a featherless bird sent from the sky. Even the motif of human birth from an egg is predominantly an asexual motif inasmuch as no preliminary coition is mentioned. Other traditions, particularly agricultural ones, see humans as the product of the mating of a plant or animal species. In some myths, fabrication rather than descent is emphasized. Humans are fashioned from a plant or animal by the gods, or their parts are modeled after other species. In these descent traditions, the human who results is usually the progenitor of a particular people. Other peoples are created from different or less favourable species. These traditions persist in folkloric accounts of the birth of individuals from plants or animals. Such myths express a close relationship between humans and the animal and plant world. Humans do not represent a new type of being but rather a new manifestation or form.
The widely distributed notion of animal or plant ancestors places considerable emphasis on transformation (see below Relationships of transformation). The ancestral myths describe a primeval time of creation (or successive creations) followed by a decisive alteration in the conditions of life in the shift from the ancestral to the present human mode of being. Compared with the “fixed” characteristics of the present period, the ancestral era is represented as having been one of flux, lacking definite boundaries. In it animals, plants, and humans are much the same: they can speak with each other, have sexual relations with each other, and engage in other relationships. The ancestors are polymorphic (many formed) and are frequently depicted as emerging from the ground. In such cases their movement toward the surface is represented as an increasing differentiation, away from compound hybrids and toward forms somewhat resembling present species. But even on the surface, the ancestors remain relatively fluid: some resemble plants, others animals or humans, and all have shared characteristics and the power to change their form at will.

B.Where should you go to find a descent meal?
C.Why should one share a meal with strangers?
D.Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?
Answer:
D. Is it fair that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs?
Explanation:
I used the process of elimination.
Answer A. isn't specifically about food, whereas this cartoon seems to make a great display of it.
B. and C. don't make sense.
D. makes sense because we can see that the people below are hungry and want the food too, so they are holding their plates up waiting for the crumbs to fall down. The food is turkey, which is expensive-and a whole turkey too! The person eating it is well dressed and the people below are not dressed as nicely. Therefore, I believe this cartoon is trying to make the viewers think about whether it is fair or not that some eat like kings while many live on crumbs.
Hope this helps!

Excerpt from: Nadia's Stage Fright by Clark Benson
When the big night finally arrived, Nadia prepared backstage. She watched her classmates display their own various talents. Then came the moment that both excited and terrified her; she was up next. The audience's applause sounded like ocean waves and made her feel welcome. Still, she could feel those butterflies fluttering in her belly, and she felt her palms start to sweat. Nadia had already performed her routine backstage, but it seemed as if it hadn't worked this time! She sat down on the piano bench and looked at the black and white keys, which seemed unfamiliar now.

Poem: MOMENTUM
by Catherine Doty
How does the subject’s relationship with their friends help develop the poem’s theme
Answer:
this helps form the poem and lets other figures express things and helps tie the whole poem together
Explanation:
it is quite a good poem by the way :)
The central theme of the poem Momentum is the folly of taking unnecessary risks.
It is expatiated by the subject's relationship with his "friends" in that it highlights the fact that although he jumps into a barrel to prove that he is brave, a barrel that would then be allowed to roll down the hill with him on the inside and his friends somewhat indifferent at the risk he was about to take. See the following excerpt from the poem:
Their faces, you know are blank with anticipation,
The look you see when they watch TV eating popcorn.
They are already talking about you as if you're gone...
What is a theme?In literature, a theme refers to the key idea or underlying meaning that a writer examines in a poem, novel, short story, and or other literary exercises. Think of it as the focus of the central topic or message of a story.
