The Creation Accounts were pretty interesting to read, since I have never read any creation stories besides Genesis. Seneca and Thanksgiving Address are really intriguing as I question the authenticity of the many creation stories worldwide. Are all the stories created based off of one person’s assumption and passed on for centuries? Where is the truth? Despite my epistemological questions, I can say that Thanksgiving Address appears to be the most logical of all stories because of its rhetoric “Now our minds are one” creates a sense of awareness for all cultures, societies and beliefs. This poem gives gratitude to the Universe and all things that make of it. The text has a way of merging everything together as a

    In writing this poem, the author chose not to conform to any of the more stringent poetry styles and instead opted for the free-verse poetry form in which there are no set guidelines regarding stanza breaks, rhythm, or rhyme schemes. Structurally, this poem is constructed of ten open couplets in which sentences are regularly enjambed, however, the enjambment does not affect the reading of the poem adversely. With the exception of the end of the poem, no stanza break coincides with a period and only one other coincides with any form of punctuation at all. This lack of regularity or apparent significance in the punctuation, in addition to the couplet form of the poem with no true purpose, are perplexing and leave the reader uncertain why the author choses to break up the lines in this fashion as there are more visually satisfying ways that…

    Normally, as someone who is highly invested in the idea of science and creation, there is a lack of understanding when it comes to thinking about the different myths of creation. For me, creation all started when a group of molecules happened to join together and eventually evolved into the many organisms that are seen every day. It never occurred to me that there is such a difference between different creation myths. During the first couple of weeks in the semester it became clear that creation is rooted in many cultures in diverse ways.…
