Tlingit's Raven And Marriage

In “Raven and Marriage,” Tlingit portrays some negative examples of human natural, which promotes the value of thanksgiving and portrays the worldview of judgement. According to “Raven and Marriage,” Raven has a good wife, Fog-over-salmon, who would always make him plenty of salmons. Raven later forgot his promise with the chief: to treat his daughter well, and he “forgot that he owed his good fortune to his wife” (p.72). He argued with his wife everyday. After one quarrel, he hit his wife with one dried salmon, and he lost his wife.
Another example of being ungrateful is displayed by the behaviour of the old man and the high-cast girl, the fox woman. The old man was failed to pretend that he was handsome and rich. There was an old lady made

She observed the Indian attack, and she described her suffering as God’s will. As she said, “when God calls a Person to any thing, and through never so many difficulties, yet he is fully able to carry them through and make them see, and say they have been gainers thereby” (514). Rowlandson believed that everything comes from God, and she sees everything happens as God’s plan. During her first week of captivity, she listened to the people who captured her and behaved well. She had only cold water and no food for 9 days. She was very scared about her situation but she was survival by relying on God. In her twenty’s removal, she got a lot of encouragement and strength from God and the bible. She can always find scriptures from the bible to give her power and comfort. In the Fourth Remove, she got the precious Scripture from God: “Jer.31.16. Thus saith the Lordm refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears, for thy work shall be rewarded, and they shall come again from the land of the Enemy” when she was so tired and hungry (p.493). It was God giving her support during her 20 removal; it was God made her survival. In Puritans’ worldview, people are blessed if they believe in God. They do what God pleases them to, and their happiness comes from God. Puritans value God than anything else. They believe that they are blessed because

One of the great examples is that she was trained to Deal with hunger. Rowlandson described that the food provided by the Indians was disgusting and loathsome. In the Fifth Remove, she was sick and got a stomach because of the food. However, she started to desire and appreciate the food in the third week because she was too hungry and had nothing else to eat. Later, she even took food from the children because they couldn’t really eat it. She put hot food into her mouth, which burnt her mouth. She couldn’t stop doing it just because she was too hungry. Moreover, she learned how to handle the limitation of life. When Philip Maid asked her to give her a piece of apron, she refused at first. The Indians threatened to kill her and she ended up giving the whole apron to Philip Maid. Life is beyond our control. People can’t always follow their own will and wish. We can’t always do whatever we want because there could be some limitations in life. At the end of her story, Rowlandson felt the horrible experience was good for her because of in vain. She finally saw and felt that everything doesn’t come easily. She learned to look beyond the small troubles and to value more on things she owned and people she had. Compared herself with David, she said, “it is good for me that I have been afflicted” (514). Her experience was a great plan by God, and hardship is a sign of God’s love. She deserved it happened to
