Compare and contrast two creation stories and reflect

Reference no: EM13477617

One of the most important stories shared by a community is the story of its beginning. Creation stories help a people place themselves within the larger context of the world-they often explain the origin of the Earth and a peoples' unique place within it. More universally, creation stories also seek to clarify the as-yet unclear origin of human consciousness. In this week's Field Notes, you will examine a creation story from your own indigenous identity and compare it with another creation story.

To prepare for this assignment:

Identify a creation story associated with your indigenous identity.

Identify a second creation story, either found in the Learning Resources, online, or from further back in your heritage.

Compare and contrast the two creation stories and reflect upon what keeps these stories alive and meaningful over time.

The assignment:

Compose a 1- to 2-page paper in which you do the following:
- Compare the two creation stories that you have identified, noting common themes and universal elements.
- Be sure to describe how rituals, key symbols, and metaphors sustain your culture's story or stories.
