The Earth on Turtle's Back Response

 From the reading of "The Earth on Turtle's Back," I can say that the purpose of this story was to inform the reader a different way of how the earth came to exist. Apparently earth, land first existed at the very bottom of the ocean and then became on a turtle's back. I like how this also symbolizes in a way, how the first humans on earth came to be. I also like how the muskrat said, "I will bring up Earth or die trying." This shows courage, fearlessness, and just confidence all and all. Even if the thing was small, it was still able to do such a huge important job..
