Question

b.Critically analyse and respond to "The Pot Maker" as a story about tribal value systems that place collective good over individual interests.

Answer 1

• It is a story about a mother and her ambitious daughter. A mother who used to be a pot maker gave inspiration to her daughter inadvertently. The girl, Sentila, therefore desired to be a pot maker similar to her mother.

• As soon she gets to grasp the truth about her her daughter's wish, the mother strictly says no to her pleadings. She goes on to demonstrate why it's not a profitable choice for her young daughter to learn pot making. She thinks it a dying art and strongly wishes that the daughter doesn't learn it.

• Instead, she pursues Sentila to pursue weaving. however Sentila goes against her own mother and learned the gorgeous art of pot making. therefore she became a notable pot maker just like her mother used to be.

This shows how tribal value systems place collective good over individual interests . The mother wants her daughter to leave her aspirations and dreams just because they are risky and may turn out be non-profitable. Rather she'd see her daughter pursue something which brings financial gain to the family and herself , even if she doesn't find the work fit according to her interests and capabilities.
