Curiosity Leading to Change

In the Greek myth, Pandora and the African myth Orphan Boy, curiosity is a major theme. Both myths lead to punishment and/or change because of a lack of trust. In Orphan Boy, the magic was initially peaceful, but when the old man destroyed the trust by following the boy, everything went wrong. His cows became thin and his cattle died. Also his crops dried up. So, Pandora has everything that she ever dreamed of and she is beautiful, newly married and happy. But then she looked into the box that the gods told her not to. She was so curious that she couldn't help it. So this is were all of the change comes in.

Creation Myths Paragraph

People have always and will always still wonder how the earth was created and what was in the beginning. In creation myths there are quite a lot of common elements (but I am going to stick with only three for now.) The first common element is chaos to order, second punishment, and third earth diving. An example for chaas to order can be seen in Phan Ku (Chinese) because there was nothing in the beginning. And then the creation myth, Elohim the creator. This uses this theme because it says that in the beginning there was nothing and then at the end there was everything. The last example of chaos to order is the creation myth because it also says that there was only chaos in the beginning but at the end there were sacrifices so there was everything.
Now the second common element, punishment. One example is in the christian creation of Adam and Eve. Another example is the creation myth concerning punishment is called the first man becomes the devil (Ulgen the creator). THis is because the man wanted something different from the got that was in charge. The third example is Phan ku because he sacrificed his body to the world and that is when there was punishment.
The third common element is earth diving. The first example for this is The Turtle that went to the bottom of the sea. So that he could start to form earth. And the last example is from the Japanese myth, but the god didn't pick earth up he just scuped earth in his hands.
It is clear that there are many different creation myths that all explain how the earth was created. Many of these contain common elements which is amazing because there are so many different ones and how all of them connect.

Journeys

I chose this quote because it is very incomplex ,although, it tells a lot about how you seek journeys. The image that I have selected has been illistrated by Monet. I was determined that was the picture because it has boats and you can go on a journey while ridding a boat. This relates to the quote because some people are looking at it as if their desire is to go on this journey while others are disagreeing and away from it going to some other place quite formal.
I rekoned the connection between the quote, painting, and the Grade 7 Humanities 'Journeys' is that journeys don't have to be apart and to be mythical but also, a journey, with your, imagination.
