You have read the myth “The Twilight of the Gods” from Asgard Stories and the informational text “How the Ancient Egyptians Shaped the World’s View of Life After Death.” Both texts suggest the importance of an afterlife to the people of ancient worlds. Now discuss the similarities and differences between these . Let's read an excerpt from one of your classmate's posts:

In both texts, the gods played an important role. They appeared to support the idea that what happened to a person in the next world reflected their actions and values in this one. When the worlds were destroyed in the great battle between gods and giants, it took a long time for a new world to begin again. . . So it seems the value of hard work is important to them, bad people will be punished, and a new, better world is possible.

Likewise, the Egyptians believed that living a virtuous life on earth was important. The author of the informational text states that the goal of Egyptians was to reach a state of pure happiness forever. They believed that after death, the spirit lived on in another place, the afterlife.. This is different from the Norse belief that those who valued hard work over living joyfully, but similar in the belief in punishment for bad deeds.

What is most likely the speaker’s reason to open with this? in approaching this problem, we cannot turn the clock back to 1868, when the [fourteenth] amendment was adopted, or even to 1896, when plessy v. ferguson was written. we must consider public education in the light of its full development and its present place in american life throughout the nation. only in this way can it be determined if segregation in public schools deprives these plaintiffs of the equal protection of the laws.
