A creation story that I have heard about is of course, the most popular one, the Book of the Bible. Its a collection of many stories and books that all fit into one big one telling how the world, humans, and everything else in the Universe has been made and where it originated from. The story we read today in class, the well baked man, was actually a simple and good story. It showed how the Native Americans think. It shows what they portray the Coyote as, a sneaky sly being that is up to no good(98). The Coyote represents a tricky creature to the Native Americans. When the coyote tricks the god into taking the person out sooner then it should have been, and it ended up coming out lighter I liked that idea and could predict what would happen next. Its cool how it made a connection to how whites, blacks, and Hispanics came into being.
While in class we got to make our own Creation stories. I liked the activity and my group members. The only thing I didn't really like is having to use all the props. Also, I think if we had had a little more time then we could have presented it much better. Altogether it was a good activity and I had fun making up a story about how the rainbow came into creation(234). I don't think my group purposely put any archetypes into the skit, but I feel like we had Jester and hero. Next time we do it I want to learn about what exactly archetypes are so I can use them efficiently or in the right way.
