How would you best describe the theme of this short story?

- "d.)  describe the iroquois belief of how the earth was created. for the iroquois, there was no reason to explain the importance of rituals. also, as animists, they didn't need a special elaboration as to why animals are important or why they had a crucial role in the earth's creation. this is just an authentic myth that explains the creation of the earth. every culture has produced creation myths."

are you kidding? from that description of two mansions, you can't figure out which one is bleak and desolate? maybe you should consider looking those words up in a dictionary, if you don't know what they mean already.
