Blog #3 A Reflection on Creating a Myth
Creating my own myth was an interesting experience. I have not had the opportunity to use my imagination to be creative and write something fun for a long time. I enjoyed the process very much. I had to think deeply about the story I wanted to tell, while also adhering to the rules of myth, by exploring natural phenomena or human archetypes. During our class presentations I realized how much myth has influenced the way I view the world and the people in it. Myth explains foundations in life that have seemed foreign to me. I had a wonderful time figuring out what I would include in my own myth, but also keeping true to applying the elements of myth to things I like to focus on: flowers and love. Creating the website as an extension of my myth was an added layer that made me with that the story I created was real. I’m glad I got to create a visual world to accompany what I wrote I think having students create a myth would be a fun way to encourage use of their imagination
