One of the Similarities is that they both involve tricking and authoritative figure figure. Both the king and the thunder god have authority over the trickster. In both stories the tricksters get what they want from the god/king. In both "Coyote Steals Fire" and "Master Cat" the tricksters both lie and cheat to get what they want. Coyote cheats the thunder god into giving away fire, master cat tricks the king into giving away his daughter’s hand in marriage.
“Not all those who wander are lost”- J.R.R Tolkien. During the “Bel and the Serpent” portion of the novel, Ruth May is killed by a poisonous Cobra- a common death in the Congo. Out of all of the Price sisters, “It is Leah who takes it the hardest and shows the most obvious signs of emotional damage”. Ruth May was a symbol of freedom and innocence in the Price family. She died on the same day as President Lumumba.
When Grizzlies walked upright talks about how a daughter has kids with a bear making the Indian race. On the other hand, The Navajo has a ritual that brings the first of the human race to earth. The history shows how everyone's creation took place. There are many similarities in these legends.

Similarities And Differences Of two trickster tales Imagine trichsters, cheated games of dice, a thunder god, stolen fire, and anthropomorphic animals. These statements are from the trickster story “Coyote steals fire”. A coyote gambles his life for fire and he cheated to win, but his uncle broke fire and all the little creatures took little pieces of fire and took them all around the world and to other tribes. “How stories came to earth” and “Coyote steals fire” have both similarities and differences.
They both had primary people Adam and Eve and Sky women. In both stories they had sons in the Iroquois story Sky Woman has twins, one of them named Sapling who was kind and gentle similar to Jesus. Sky Women's sons began adding to the earth. Her other son was evil and destroyed all Saplings work and created everything bad.
The one major similarity between the Old Testament and the Chinese myth is the importance of nature and the power that mankind has over everything else in the world. Another similarity that can be seen in both myths is the power and might of the animals that they chose. This shows that they believe that though humans are the highest power on earth, that does not mean they are above everything in the whole universe, they both believe there is a higher being that is even overpowering compared to mankind. The main difference between these two myths is that the Old Testament deals with a monotheistic God who controls everything including humans. The Old Testament also shows that from nothing came a voice that set everything into motion on Earth.
Today, abortion still one of the most controversial topics in our communities, some with the Idea that it's wrong (pro-life) and others that is totally okay that women should have control over their body (pro-choice). Even though, it became legal in 1973, there are a big amount of people opposing abortion as a moral wrong. In this paper I would like to talk about three different theories on abortion. First, the structural functionalist, second the conflict perspective theory and third the symbolic Interaction theory.
How the World Uniquely Begins Native American myths and the Christian Bible both offer stories about how the world began.. In “The Earth on Turtle’s Back” and Genesis 1, both tales have similar values and ideas. These two stories compare in that both tell the importance of water, the fact that Earth came out of the water, and the existence of supreme beings; in contrast, each story has a unique idea of how the world came into being. “The Earth on Turtle’s Back,” a story from the Onondaga tribe, an original Native American group, is a myth which relates a story about the beginning of the world. Water is below the Skyland and it becomes an issue when the Great Tree is uprooted.
Each every creation myth is unique in its own way. Of course, creation myths have their similarities, but each of them has at least one detail that separates them from every other myth. The question is how those similarities came about, considering for some of these groups that didn’t even know that each other existed. It would have nearly impossible and extremely unlikely for them to communicate with each other let alone, share their stories with each other. Yet, despite this there are some extremely common themes and events throughout these myths.
One of the main similarities between these two stories is the fact that there are god(s) involved in the creation of life on earth. Even though Genesis says that there is one god and Popol Vuh says there are many, both stories are about the trial and error the gods face while trying to create humanity. The god in Genesis makes the mistake of letting Adam and Eve roam free in the Garden of Eden assuming they will not eat from the tree of knowledge. Of course, they eat from the tree, with encouragement from a serpent, and were banned from the garden. Later on in the story, “God saw the wickedness of man”(Genesis 70), and so there could be a fresh start, God decided to kill all humans, besides Noah and his ark, with a flood.
A creation myth explains what each culture believes about the creation of the world and how people first entered into it. The two creation myths “African Bushmen Creation Myth” and “Iroquois Creation Myth” both explain the creation of Earth as well as their ideas of how people came to be. While the two creation myths have many similarities, differences may lie in the characters, personalities, setting, and plot. Creation myths have many similarities because many cultures develop with the same basic elements. Three comparisons from the creation myths “African Bushmen Creation Myth” and “Iroquois Creation Myth” caught my attention in a very special way.
As I have said, each story is alike and different in many ways, including being unique in their own
In both stories the serpent is depicted as a negative force. It is the thing that denies humanity of immortality or some pleasure. In the Bible the serpent is a sign of temptation. The serpent convinces Eve to eat fruit from the forbidden tree in the Garden of Eden. This was after God had told her and Adam that they were not allowed
