2. List some of the possible issues found in The Son of the Turtle Spirit
Some
of the possible issues that can be found in The Son of The Turtle
Spirit are "do not believe strangers ", "consider all
aspects before take action", "believe in oneself",
"love conquers everything" and " fate has its own
destiny".
3.Are those issues universal in nature or are they
only relevant in the Chinese culture?Basically I feel that all the isssues that I indicate suit to all the culture and not only suit to the Chinese culture. For example, the issue "do not believe the stranger", the maiden make friend with the spirit of turtle without knowing who is he really. The issue " believe in oneself", although many people underestimate the son of the turtle spirit when he said that he can swim deep in the river, but he determine to do it because he believe in himself. Another issue is " love conquers everything " , love has the power to make anyone to follow what their heart desires for. For example, the spirit of turtle takes the form of human being to be with his ladylove.
