Personal Narrative: Poseidon's Metamorphosis

Great Essays

I look at the strange creatures before me and am amazed by how much we look alike. You would think that coming from a different planet you would look different.

Not only do they have different stories but different purposes and different ways they were all created. One thing that they can relate is chaos and order.
