    FAR EAST, SOUTH AND THE

    PACIFIC LANDS
    MYTHOLOGY

    MODULE 5
    SAQ#5. READ THE STORY OF “TAMING OF THE
    SUN” HAWAIIAN MYTHOLOGY. DO THIS IN A
    POWER POINT PRESENTATION.
    1. IN WHAT WAY DOES THE SETTING OF
    THIS MYTH REFLECT LIFE IN THE
    HAWAIIAN ISLANDS?
    The setting of this story perfectly mirrors living in
    the Hawaiian Islands. Maui tames the sun in order to
    provide prosperity to his people. This was due to the
    community's perception that the days were too short.
    Because of the short days, the villagers did not have
    enough time to build and restore their village
    residences.
    . It also shows why Hawaii is one of the
    tropical country in the world where the length
    of the day and temperature are relatively
    uniform throughout the year. It is their weather
    phenomenon that creates Hawaii’s rich, green,
    and tropical environment.
     
    2. WHAT DOES THIS MYTH REVEAL ABOUT
    MAUI’S NATURE? DO YOU LIKE HIM?
    Maui is a demigod who has a mother – the patron goddess of
    kappa-beating, whom he love so much. He noticed that his
    villagers especially his mother are struggling to finish their works
    before sunset, but unfortunately, this would never happened
    because the sun in the sky traveled so fast, making the days
    shorter. Maui is a loving son, caring and helpful that he made a
    way to tame the sun even though he knew that it would be too
    risky to fight the sun because of its burning hot rays.
    Yes, I like Maui’s courage, though he
    knew that it took him so long before he
    finished the tools he needed and it’s too
    dangerous to tame sun, still, he did it out
    of love for his mother and the villagers.
    3. WHAT DOES MAGIC CONTRIBUTE TO THIS
    MYTH? DOES IT EMBRACE OR DETRACT
    FROM THE MYTH? EXPLAIN
    Magic contributed an excitement to the readers and
    explanation to a mystery happened in the story. It
    gives acceptable reason for the readers to understand
    why such phenomena happened despite its impossible
    circumstances. It does embrace and doesn’t detract
    from the myth.
    Magic adds-up a mystery to be decoded in
    order for the readers to continue what they
    have reading. It gives the character of the story
    an adventure to face and solve the problem to
    have a happy ending that the readers looking
    forward at the end.
     
    4. DOES MAUI’S BEING A TRICKSTER- HERO ADD TO HIS
    HEROIC IMAGE IN THIS MYTH OR DETRACT FROM IT?
    EXPLAIN.

    Maui’s being a trickster- hero add to his heroic image in


    this myth. Trickster doesn’t always mean that you fool
    people around for your own benefits. Maui’s act for
    tricking the sun was different. This was the only way to
    tame the sun in order to help his community particularly
    his mother to make their works done in a day.
     This is his way for saving the people because
    even the trees and plants couldn’t produce
    more food, for the sun traveled the sky in a
    very short period of time every day. His
    unique strategic plan to tame the sun made
    him wise and clever which made the mighty
    sun agreed with his terms and conditions.
