The Iroquois Creation Story is set before the existence of humans as we know them, but not absent of a physical place, or other beings. The Iroquois Creation Story has a very supernatural setting with many mythical and magical elements. The first lines of the story stated, “Among the ancients there were two worlds in existence. The lower world was in great darkness; - the possession of the great monster; but the upper world was inhabited by mankind.” The physical setting starts out in in the upper

Creation stories are obviously stories about the creation of the world. They, just like us, vary in their origins and how they are structured. Each contains the tale of how that certain culture or religion views the beginning of everything, ranging from the animals to the world itself. Creators came in the form of gods or other super-human beings and they handled each world differently. These stories each gave us an idea of how the world we are living in was made, and some even tells us about how

Every country and or religion have their own story about the creation of earth. Some stories are different from each other, but many creation stories share similar characteristics and story lines. One example of this would be the Iroquois and Japanese creation stories. Somethings to compare are the first people to appear on the new Earth, how the world was created, and how an important figure in life was killed. For the Iroquois creation story, the first people on the newly created earth was a pregnant

an accurate historical figure. As a fictional character, His life and death have meaning within the story, but would not be likely to inspire the great actions that people take trying to follow His example. This is only one extreme instance in which the historical accuracy of a work would have great importance. The stories of many human beings, including those in Gilgamesh and The Bible may inspire people to have similar courage. Even if these characters are mortal human beings, that human beings could

The Creation from Animals In most cultures and myths most people seems to agree on that the animals and creatures of this world, were here way before humans ever existed. The different ideas of ways of how humans are created are very different but yet most cultures do agree that animals were here before humans. Some of these creation myths also believe that an animal was honored by the creator or God to help create this world. Two creation myths that seem to agree on more things about the creation

at the creation stories of ingenious people. Each culture has different characteristics. For example the indigenous creation stories called “The Earth on Turtle’s Back”, “When Grizzlies Walked Upright”, and the Navajo origin legend; all have characteristics of the Native American culture. Such as the Native American cultural characteristics that you should respect animals, nature, and elders. Those cultural characteristics are very evident throughout the first two stories. The third creation story

more solid understanding on the history of religion. It also gave me a vivid explanation on how and why the world operates in a certain manner and how religion cannot be overlooked because it plays an important role in shaping the human life and character in relation to human experience. Initially, in the first few weeks of classes I had the idea that the class will mainly cover the moral characteristics and obligations in respect to religion placing more emphasis on Christianity given the nature

hidden? In Frankenstein, the protagonist fights the battle within himself between listening to the devil or the angel. By looking through the lens of a psychoanalytic critic, one can find the monsters hidden within the characters of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, J.M. Hunt’s “The Creation of Man by Prometheus,” and The Holy Bible version of Genesis. Through the many levels of psychoanalytic criticism, the Freudian theory concerning the id, ego, and superego appears in Frankenstein. These “three areas

Vuh, I was able to instantly point out many similarities and differences between two other myths that we have read throughout the class. The first myth that came to mind was Genesis. Genesis and Polpol Vuh both talk of creation of animals, trees, and mountains, as well as the creation of mankind, After doing research in the past, I knew that Genesis and Gilgamesh had similarities which then put Gilgamesh in the category with Polpol Vuh and Genesis. While reading these tales, I was also able to answer

The Scriptural creation account describes God's creation as a place where His presence resides and that created humans as the crown of His creation for relationship with Him. Humans are made in the image of God, which includes the personal nature of God and a capacity for relationship with Him. Humanity was chosen by God to be the mediator of His divine presence and power, to bear His image. Elaborated by Alexander and Baker, humans are not an afterthought created to provide for the needs of the
