Read this excerpt from the cherokee creation story "how the world was made":
when all was water, the animals were above in galûñ’lati, beyond the arch; but it was very crowded, and they wanted more room. they wondered what was below the water, and at last beaver’s grandchild, the little water-beetle, offered to go and see if he could learn. he darted in every direction over the surface of the water, but could find no firm place to rest. then he dived to the bottom and came up with some soft mud, which began to grow and spread on every side until it became the island that we call earth. it was afterward fastened to the sky with four cords, but no one remembers who did this.
at first earth was flat and very soft and wet. the animals were anxious to get down, and set out different birds to see if it was yet dry, but they found no place to alight and came back again to galûñ’lati. at last it seemed to be time, and they sent out the buzzard and told him to go and make ready for them…
when earth was dry and the animals came down, it was still dark, so they got the sun and set it in a track to go every day across the island from east to west, just overhead…

Governor reagan: mr. ellis, i think this idea that has been spawned here in our country, that inflation somehow came upon us like a plague and therefore it's uncontrollable and no one can do anything about it, is entirely spurious, and it's dangerous to say this to the people. when mr. carter became president, inflation was 4.8 percent, as you said. it had been cut in two by president gerald ford. it is now running at 12.7 percent. president carter also has spoken of the new jobs created . . but that can't hide the fact that there are 8 million men and women out of work in america today, and 2 million of those lost their jobs in just the last few months. mr. carter had also promised that he would not use unemployment as a tool to fight against inflation. and yet, his 1980 economic message stated that we would reduce productivity and gross national product and increase unemployment in order to get a handle on inflation, because in january, at the beginning of the year, it was more than 18 percent. which reasons and evidence does reagan use to support his argument? check all that apply. (1) the gross national product in 1979 (2) the gross national product in 1980 (3) the decrease in inflation rates (4) the increase in inflation rates (5) the number of jobs lost (6) the number of jobs created
