Both these civilizations had similarities, both relied on agriculture and their ruling method. One of the many differences, is the Mayans had a religion while the Shang did not. The Maya and Shang relied on similar agricultural methods and political structures with small kingdoms and one ruler; however, they differed culturally since the Shang had no religion and the Mayans did.
Other similarity is that Genesis says that God created the man from the dust and in the Popol Vuh myth the four gods created the man out of the flesh. In Genesis, God created nature and the world before humans. In Popul Vuh, humans were the last official creations.

Moreover, even if he was, he wouldn't have been able to get away with it for very long since its removal from Gringotts was announced in the Daily Prophet.
Children's songs were about bloodshed, violence and anti-Semitism. • All schools were single sex and girls and boys were educated quite differently. Girls studied no foreign languages and the only maths and science they learnt was linked to cooking and childcare. This was all part of a deliberate plan to prevent women having careers. A woman could work until she got married, but she was then expected to give work up to become a housewife.

Another time he stated, "Boys and intelligent girls will find the assignment easy." Only yesterday, after Judy got an answer wrong, he snapped, "Shouldn’t you be taking home economics instead?" -That’s more a gender related discrimination not really sexually related.

The short story is told through a third person narrator, who isn’t present in the text, but is still omniscient because he/she can see everything and feel the feelings of the people who actually appear in the story. It’s a common way of writing a fictional story, but it still always gives a mysterious feeling to the reader, especially at the points when Grau uses quick and short sentences. There is a lot of dialogue throughout the text, which makes the narrator more reliable.
