Name A myth is a traditional story that explains imaginary events from the past or a traditional world view. Myths describe how a custom, belief, or natural phenomenon came about. Symbolism is the use of concrete objects to represent abstract ideas or qualities. Figurative language uses imaginative language to describe objects, places, or people. Read the myth below, then answer the questions. Practice Literary Elements: Symbolism and Figurative Language A long time ago there was one land and one people. Everyone lived together happily and in peace. Then two brothers were born who quarreled over everything. This made the Creator angry. In a voice like low, rumbling thunder, he told the brothers to shoot an arrow into the air. Each brother and his people would live where his arrow landed. Soon the brothers started quarreling again. Once more the Creator became angry. This time he took away fi re from everyone except for one old woman called Loo-Wit. The people stopped quarreling, and the Creator asked Loo-Wit to share her fi re. In return, the Creator offered to grant her one wish. She chose to be young and beautiful. When the two brothers saw how beautiful Loo-Wit was, each of them wanted to marry her. Again there was quarreling, which caused the Creator to turn each brother into a mountain and also to make Loo-Wit a mountain. 1. The myth says that the brothers shot their arrows into the air. What does this explain? 2. What do the mountains symbolize? 3. Find an example of fi gurative language in the myth. 218 Hidden Worlds • Grade 5/Unit 6 At Home: Discuss with a parent or helper why people long ago used myths as a way of explaining their world. © Macmillan/McGraw-Hill
© Macmillan/McGraw-Hill Name Many words in English have ancient Latin or Greek word parts. Sometimes Latin or Greek word parts create a word family, or a group of words with a common feature or pattern. For example, the Greek root geo means “earth.” The words geography, geology, geographer, geode, geometry, and geometric form a word family based on the words’ Greek root geo. Origin Greek Latin Greek Latin Latin Word part bio dict tele man terr Meaning life speak far away hand earth Practice Look at the Latin and Greek word parts above. Choose the word in parentheses that best fits with the other two words to form a word family. Then write the word on the line. 1. bionic biography (biosphere/bicker) 2. dictate dictation (dice/dictionary) 3. telethon telephone (telescope/territory) 4. manner maneuver (manicure/main) 5. diction dictator (decorate/edict) 6. manual manufacture (manuscript/mane) 7. terrarium terrestrial (terrible/terrace) 8. television telegram (telecast/teller) 9. biology biologist (bisect/biographer) 10. telescopic telepathy (telegraph/tale) At Home: Add as many words as you can to the word families formed by Latin and Greek word parts.
