370 Words2 Pages
After studying Joseph Campbell we learned that myths from around the world are very similar in regards to themes, motifs, symbols, and more. Now we were given the task to find a myth and perform it with a group. After finding a myth each group closely read it using the read like a reader skills and filled out a chart with information including methods of creation, characteristics of the creator, humankind’s relationship with God and nature, symbols, motifs, cultural truths, universal themes, and style. Filling out this chart allowed for us to grasp a deeper understanding of our selected myth. Some of the myths were confusing and hard to understand, but if we think beyond the literal meaning of the text then we can deeply understand the content.
