1. The praise songs of the people to the gods usually describe the deeds and the qualities that the gods possess. The songs are to praise them but also have critism in them, this is way the gods know to live up to their responsibilites. Also the songs in some ways are plees to help them.
2. The tone of the speakers are very pleased. Very knowing the person or god they're praising. They adore, admire, and respect this person or god.
3. Oshun(river goddess) was most appealing to me. First of all she's a woman, a chief, she cures,very wise, helpful to the people by ways of her medicine being free, and she turns blood into children. I don't know her but I gained respect for her.
