How did creating your own origin myth help you better understand why cultures use stories to explain the origins of people, places, traditions, or natural events? In your response, describe the choices you made while developing your myth and explain the lesson, value, or human responsibility you wanted your story to communicate.

 creating my own origin myth helped me understand how cultures use stories to explain nature and where people are from/come from. I chose to use 4 elements, animals, and natural elements/events to make my story impactful and meaningful. My main lesson was that humans should respect and protect nature aswell as animals. I liked writing my myth origin as it took creativity and critical thinking.
