My response to the Richard Cory story is that the story shows that people who have everything aren't always happy with it or themselves.

Anceint Stories
The language in the story used to words a lot more. For example, when the cheiftan's wife fell down it kept repeating the word down to show that it was a big fall. It's important that a story is told word for word because people back then might have forgot important parts in the story or might have changed the story a bit from not remembering certain parts.
The earth on turtle's back
Im positive that this story is a native american story on how earth came to be.
