What is a symbol in both
“Pandora’s Box” and “Loo-
Wit, the Fire Keeper?” How
is it connected to the
theme or message?

Fire

In both "Pandora's Box" and "Loo-Wit, the Fire Keeper," fire can be seen as a symbol that connects to the themes and messages of the stories.

In the Greek myth of Pandora's Box, fire represents the destructive power of curiosity and disobedience. When Pandora opens the box out of curiosity, she unleashes all the evils into the world, but she manages to close it in time to prevent hope from escaping. Fire symbolizes the punishment and consequences of her actions, as well as the transformative and purifying nature of suffering.

In the Native American legend of "Loo-Wit, the Fire Keeper" from the Pacific Northwest, fire symbolizes wisdom, balance, and harmony with nature. Loo-Wit, who transforms into Mount St. Helens is the guardian of fire and volcanic energy. The story emphasizes the importance of respecting and living in harmony with nature, highlighting the disastrous consequences of human greed and disrespect for the natural world. Fire, in this context, symbolizes both the destructive power of uncontrolled ambition and the need for balance and reverence for the natural order.

In both stories, fire carries a dual symbolism of destruction and transformation. It represents the consequences of human actions and the need for balance and wisdom. The theme or message connected to fire in both stories is the recognition of the power and responsibility that humans possess in their interactions with the world. It serves as a reminder of the importance of temperance, respect, and the understanding of the potential consequences of our choices.

excerpt from “Background on Judge Sonia Sotomayor” The White House Office of the Press Secretary

Judge Sonia Sotomayor has lived the American dream. Born to a Puerto Rican family, she grew up in a public housing project in the South Bronx. Her parents moved to New York during World War II – her mother served in the Women’s Auxiliary Corps during the war. Her father, a factory worker with a third-grade education, died when Sotomayor was nine years old. Her mother, a nurse, then raised Sotomayor and her younger brother, Juan, now a physician in Syracuse. After her father’s death, Sotomayor turned to books for solace, and it was her newfound love of Nancy Drew that inspired a love of reading and learning, a path that ultimately led her to the law.

Most importantly, at an early age, her mother instilled in Sotomayor and her brother a belief in the power of education. Driven by an indefatigable work ethic, and rising to the challenge of managing a diagnosis of juvenile diabetes, Sotomayor excelled in school. Sotomayor graduated as valedictorian of her class at Blessed Sacrament and at Cardinal Spellman High School in New York. She first heard about the Ivy League from her high school debate coach, Ken Moy, who attended Princeton University, and she soon followed in his footsteps after winning a scholarship.

At Princeton, she continued to excel, graduating summa come laude, and Phi Beta Kappa. She was a co-recipient of the M. Taylor Pyne Prize, the highest honor Princeton awards to an undergraduate. At Yale Law School, Judge Sotomayor served as an editor of the Yale Law Journal and as managing editor of the Yale Studies in World Public Order. One of Sotomayor’s former Yale Law School classmates, Robert Klonoff (now Dean of Lewis & Clark Law School), remembers her intellectual toughness from law school: "She would stand up for herself and not be intimidated by anyone."

Why the Cat Always Lands on Its Feet


A gentle magician was traveling in a forest. He’d been traveling forever, it seemed. So when he spotted a tree with gnarled roots, he had to lie down among them to rest. He had just snuggled in and closed his weary eyes when a great serpent slithered out of a thicket. Had the magician noticed the snake in the undergrowth, he would have turned it into a harmless stick.


When the snake saw the sleeping man at the foot of the tree, it coiled in anger. “I will kill him!” it hissed. The snake recalled that this was the very man who had surprised it sometime earlier, just when the snake was about to dine on a tabby cat for breakfast. “Flee for your life!” the magician had cried, and the cat had scrambled up a tree just in time.


The serpent slithered closer now. It hissed its war cry as it remembered the magician’s meddling. “You will be my breakfast,” the deadly troublemaker spat, its forked tongue testing the air for a sniff of its sleeping quarry. “And when I swallow you down, you will be sorry you ever interfered.”


Now, it just so happened that the same breakfast cat had noticed the conflict from the branches high above the sleeping magician. “Arrrr,” she snarled, her little body quivering in fright when she heard the serpent’s hiss. She was slight compared to the enormous serpent. But as she watched the evil one glide toward the man, the memory of the magician’s kindness to her transformed her fear to anger. That snake would pay for preying on helpless victims! The tabby sprang for the coiled serpent like a bolt of striped lightning!
