From White Horses
by Hamish Henry

I saw them plunging through the foam,
I saw them prancing up the shore—
A thousand horses, row on row,
And then a thousand more!

In joy they leaped upon the land,
In joy they fled before the wind,
Prancing and plunging on they raced,
The huntsman raced behind.

In comparing "minerva and arachne" and "niobe," can you establish a common theme running throughout both texts? how do you think this theme might change if the stories were written in first-person point of view? write a journal entry explaining the theme of both "minerva and arachne" and "nirobe." then, consider how the theme might change if the tales were written using a first-person point of view. use examples and evidence from both texts to support your analysis.

In about two hundred words, explain how the author's use of folktales and symbolism add meaning to the story and convey the central theme of the novel: the disintegration of the traditional igbo society as a result of its contact with european practices and beliefs.
