A pleasing retell of the myth, Beatriz. What were the 'big ideas' or themes contained in the myth? Why did he create people? What else did he create? What happened to him in the end, and what emotion did that leave people with? What is the function of this myth - the reason that people told this story, and continue to keep on telling it today? Look again at the blog rubric to see the depth of answer required. Also, take a look at a few other blogs and read what your peers are writing. Was Phan Ku a 'monster'? Aim for accuracy in your facts. Go back into this posting and look at spelling, conventions and punctuation please.
