Answer:
Paragraph 14 of "Excerpt from Minuk: Ashes in the Pathway" contribute to the story by telling you what the men's house was like and why they were proud of it. It shows you a different side of the story and how the people in the village come together to make a huge accomplishment in their lives.
Explanation:
One piece of evidence that supports my statement was in paragraph 14. It states, "We were very proud of our men's house, because it was the biggest one along the whole Kuskokwim River, and it had the widest benches." This proves that they were proud of what they did to accomplish the building of the men's house. They were very happy because of its size.
Another piece of evidence that supports my statement was also in paragraph 14. In states, "Our men had defeated that village in a war, so they brought the benches home to remember their victory." This proves they were not only proud of the building but the people living in it. They showed their love for them by putting benches in the house to represent their victory.
Paragraph 14 shows that the people in the village love each other and come together as a big, happy family.
