Sunjata, a prince of Mandinka was exiled by his step brother, taking the kingdom for himself after the death of their father. This story revolves around the birth and life of the prince till his victory in attaining his rightful ownership of the kingdom.

1. The sorceresses were hired by the evil prince Dankaran Tuman to kill Sunjata. He promised them that he will give them a bull in exchange for the life of his step brother, who had been made the rightful heir of the kingdom by their father before his death. So, to make sure that he himself gets the kingdom, he wanted the sorceresses to kill his brother.

2. The sorceresses agreed to Sunjata's offer of three antelopes as their main desire was to attain meat and three antelopes means more meat than a single bull.

Answers

Alright here’s what you do. I assume “Lit Instructor” is a text so read that and pick what you think a major theme is. (Keep in mind you will need evidence) Start your paragraph with some background on the text and then go into your theme, why it is important, why the author chose it. Really whatever you find important. Then use your direct quote. ( remember to add the page number ) then go into detail about why you chose that piece of evidence and things you found interesting. Wrap it up how ever you please but make it clear what your point was. STAY ON POINT!

Hope this helps!
