There are different stories on the topic of how we are created based on different people's culture and morals. The benefit of this class (English 2111) to get the chance to make their own story will give everyone an insight of what some may value and how creative they are. The Fallen Star was an interesting tale especially since half of the tale was based on a female character similar to Eve from the bible. Many creation stories are based either on a male character, or emphasized the importance and inferiority of the woman.
The way they presented the story was in a animated video, which I found to be quit humorous. I have no clue if the actual purpose was to be a little funny, but the look of the dark shadowy based people make the whole story so much fun. But don't let that deceive you. The story is simple, yet to the point. The ending even has a deep emotional point upon the death of one of the couple's children and how the child's death created vegetation. It's even more important to the who plot since a huge part of the conflicts with the characters is hunger.
What do you think? Is it rare that a creation story focuses a lot on a female? Who are you rooting for this season (football)? Please leave a comment!
I do think it is rare for creation stories to focus on women. According to the article written by the University of Georgia, females are usually left out or condemned. I am going for Georgia Tech, the Falcons, and anybody on my fantasy teams.
