Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:
"Why are you following me? What do you want?" The man
was afraid. The thing standing before him had the feet of a
deer, and its body was covered with feathers. The man
answered that the Kiowas were hungry. "Take me with you,"
the voice said, "and I will give you whatever you want."
From that day Tai-me has belonged to the Kiowas.
Once I went with my father and grandmother to see the
Tai-me bundle. It was suspended by means of a strip of
ticking from the fork of a small ceremonial tree. I made an
offering of red cloth, and my grandmother prayed aloud.
Which statement best compares the tones of the two passages?
