Creation myths- how are they alike?

Many Myths are reasons to why things happened, how we were created and how was the world created. They change as they go on, every time they will get stronger, crazier, wiser and sometimes they get fake. Every religion has different myths, but many of them are the same, and that is what bind every culture together. The two myths that are a lot alike are " The woman who came from the sky" and "Turtle dives into the bottom of the sea", they are alike because their meanings are the same.


What i mean when i say they are alike, i dont mean that their totally the same but, they both have the same places and they both are about gods and most of all their both about the creation of the world and how he became to be. Their are both the same story but in two different ways and religion. If i had to say what some of the same related stuff in this two myths are i would say, that they are both in water and they got the earth from the same place and they practically created the world the same way, but they are different because their cultures crated them different and they are both from different cultures.

  1. "Every religion has different myths, but many of them are the same, and that is what bind every culture together." This is the point where you start to address the topic of the paragraph, however being specific with the commonalities that you are going to use in the rest of the paragraph would have been a good idea here. Use capital letters appropriately, as this is a formal space where you are showcasing your work publicly. Go back in and fix up please. Avoid 'stuff' in a formal piece of writing. You were asked to identify three common elements and draw upon myths from around the world to prove that there were common themes in them - you hinted at this but didn't quite get there. You may revisit this if you want to :)
