435 Words2 Pages

Many people think differently about the same story, so they come up with new versions. One example of that is the Creation Story. The written story, Creation Myth: In The Beginning, is violent, while Mrs. Warren’s Verizon is interesting. There are many ways of how Mrs. Warren changed the mood by using different words. First, in Mrs. Warren’s story, the cyclops and monsters remained in the holes and Gaea didn’t tell the Titans to overthrow their father. In the written version, the titans have to stop their father’s cruelty, “Take this weapon, make an end to your father’s cruelty and set your brothers free.” (Pg.1) The quote proves that the mood changes from violent to interesting by using different words because in the written story the father was sickles to the face and in Mrs. Warren’s version they didn’t attack the father. Next, in Mrs. Warren’s storytelling, the kids were already in armor. They armed Zeus and Hades in the written version, “For Hades they made a cap …show more content…

Warren changed the mood is with the plot. First, Hestia gave up her throne to Dionysus in Mrs. Warren’s version. In the written story, “Hestia, the eldest sister of Zeus, was goddess of the hearth. She had no throne, but tended the sacred fire in the hall…” (Pg.5) The quote above proves that the mood changed from violent to interesting with the plot because instead of always having a throne like in the written story, Dionysus had to beg for it until Hestia let him have hers in Mrs. Warren’s story. Next, Uranus threw down the ugly children in disgust. “Uranus looked at them with disgust. Each of them had fifty heads and a hundred strong arms. He hated to see such ugly creatures walk about on lovely Earth, so he seized them and their brothers the Cyclopes and flung them into Tartarus, the deepest, darkest pit under the earth.” (Pg.1) This passage shows that the mood changes from violent to interesting with the plot because in Mrs. Warren’s version, the children were

There are some myths linked with only a few motifs, and they originated from the same continent. Then there are also myths which originated from the other side of the world and share so many motifs one would think they were just a hundred miles away. With so many different motifs, it remains unclear and unproven as to how so many different cultures can share the same theory about how Earth and humans were created. Although there are so many fascinating motifs about the creation of the world and everything on it, I believe these three are the most common motifs shared by creation myths: nothingness (chaos) in the beginning of time, humans
