If I were to write an explanatory essay, I would use topics surrounding science. Flow by Clayton Strothers is a very well written explanatory essay. He goes…

I decided to write my myth on the creation of rain. While it may be simple and a basic concept, those were exactly the types of topics that the Native Americans tried to explain with their myths. As well, my myth incorporates all of the criteria that one must meet. By definition, a creation (or origin) myth is, “the accounts of the ways in which these supernatural agents formed the Earth and peopled it” (Carneiro).
