What do you know about how the first people in the Americas transmitted information? What type of stories did they tell and how did they transmit those stories?
I liked the "Mayan Creation" video better than the "The World on The Turtle's Back" because it gave a better explanation and it showed all of the details.
i loved reading the story "The World on the Turle's back" beacuse i rather read and make the images in my head rather then see something someone else made up!
I preffered viewing the "Mayan Myth" because the the information they gave was closer to the belife that i have on how the world was created. If I were to make a change in either one i would have left out the part that they mention where the animals tried to praise the gods and they other type of human races taht had came before
I prefered the "Mayan Creation Myth" more than "The World on The Turtle's Back" because you can better understand the "Mayan Myth" in full detail because of its visual,and audity.
I liked the "Mayan Myth" better because it gave us a visual of how the Gods actually looked and how they reacted.Both stories did create awe for me. In "The World On The Turtle's Back" the part that created awe for me was when the good son killed both his grandmother and his brother. That was not very nice. In the "Mayan Myth" the part that created awe for me was when the Gods started creatin men in different ways.
I like the "The World on the Turtle's Back" better than "Mayan Myth" story because it's more discriptive and gave me a better understanding of how the creators were created themselves. If I were to make changes in either stories, it would have to be in "The World on the Turtle's Back" on the pregnancy of the daughter because you cannot get empregenated with an arrow.
