Question
read the passage from the beginnings of the maasai. our relationship with enkai is essential to the tribe. enkai is neither male nor female. the sky god is powerful, but can change from nurturing to vengeful depending on our behavior. sometimes enkai is enkai narok, the black god, happy with us and blanketing the sky with dark clouds that pour out rain to nourish the plains. when angry, though, enkai becomes enkai nonyokie—the red god. in these times, the sun grows incredibly hot until the earth dries up and becomes barren. because of this, we work to keep enkai happy. why is this excerpt a good example of a feature often found in a myth? it features a reference to the earth. it features a reference to the sky. it features a reference to the origin of the tribe. it features a reference to a supernatural being.
Myths often involve supernatural beings. The passage describes Enkai, a sky - god with the ability to change moods and have different manifestations, which is characteristic of a supernatural being. References to earth or sky alone are not the defining feature of a myth, and the passage doesn't focus on the origin of the tribe.
