This shows how right the native indians are. These groups of people teach their tribes to do good in their life, and as a result they go through the 10 indian commandments. This is somewhat similar to the 10 commandments from the old testament. The indians are more respectful towards each other than some of us, and it’s true. We lack the goods, sometimes, but following this is beneficial, regarding race. In fact, some of us already do these things. For example some people already, take full responsibilities of their own actions. They might lack on a few things, but to have all ten commandments and following them shows greatness. Even if it isn’t the indian commandments that people follow, the one in the old testament is similar. If any of these rules are broken, the person violates the terms. People do get consequences, for not following or breaking the rules of the commandments. It’s important to choose what’s right, because we’re living through the commandments the right way.
I actually liked this Indian youth story. Behind the man, and the snake there is a lot of symbolism. The snake was so tempting, and the Indian couldn’t resist. The Indian knew how dangerous the rattlesnake was, yet he picked it up. Next thing you know, the snake backstabbed him, and bit his leg. The Indian knew how dangerous the rattlesnake was, and as a result he ended up being bitten by one. This story could had have a better ending, if the Indian could have resisted, and let the evil snake slither away. No one would have ended up hurt, but he decided to choose wrong. I can relate this to Genesis, or the Adam and Eve story. When Eve, was in the Garden of Eden, a serpent tempted her to eat the fruit. Eve knew the trouble this serpent was and the trouble she'll get into if she disobeyed the Lord, but she ate the apple anyways. Adam then was tempted. The snake or the serpent tempted and persuaded them well. As a result, there punishment was to leave the Garden of Eden and suffer. That is when the snake just bit them.This was in the old testament a long time ago. What happen to the Indian was decades ago, and snakes are still out there. This saying is still relevant till this day because what we call snakes are the people who want you to fail and do wrong, called friends. These supposed friends are really dangerous snakes, because they will drag you and get you into deep trouble. That consequence will hurt and sting just like a snake’s bite. There are people after they got bitten, learn their lesson. Their lesson is to never ever get near a snake again and pick it up. Snakes are out there in the world, slithering throughout society, waiting to catch their next victim, but it is up to the person do right. Snakes are successful if a person chooses the wrong, or is already persuaded. It is important to not fall or sleep over these snakes because it is dangerous. Snakes don't come with cautions signs.
