mythology that is involved. The otherworld is core to many cultures; however, this forces the question, why? Why does one reach towards the Otherworld to explain the happenings of this world? This essay argues that the otherworld is an exciting concept to answer the questions of the world, while relieving pressure off of ourselves. Stories told of the Otherworld may be different from our world, but they have very similar concepts. Stories that are unlikely and intensive to be told, are the…
and validate the faith they follow. Others draw comfort from proof of God’s existence, as they feel protected and cared for, and often this can reaffirm a belief in the afterlife too.

Every year in English I have learned something new and this year is absolutely no different. To answer the question of if I am a better writer than I was before, I would probably say yes.
