Songs that Celebrate

3. The relationship between humans and gods in the poems are the both heal, protect, help in some way or form. The exsist no matter what and they are very loving. Also they love to dance.

4. There seems to be a positive tone or a good tone towards the various praise songs. In the last poem, it describes how the river goddess heals what the doctor cannot, and feeds honey to the children, also describing how beautiful she is.

5. The praise song I find most appealing is Oshun. This praise song talks about how people call on her, she replies with wisdom. She helps the sick, help the ones in fear, How every one looks up to her and they count on her to get them where they need to be.

Death Penalty

I think that the death penalty is for some people. The things some people do, they deserve to be sentenced to death. For Example: child molesters, why do it and you know it's wrong. Just think some man/woman is sexually active with an under age child.

Religion

I believe religion is a big part of a persons life. That affects how you live and the way you carry yourself. There are many religions in the world but you shouldn't choose one that a friend has or what your family wants, choose one that fits you personally.

A Drop of Milk

1. Were the things created alive with a soul and thoughts?


2. In the story or myth, the world was created from a drop of milk, then later on, a creator god, Doondari, came and created the stone. Then so on and so forth.

4. I would interpret the events as showing that everything that was created is connected in some way, because the first part says that stone create iron, and iron created fire and so on.

5. Because there is nothing left to defeat because all the other creations had been defeated by each other, and only death remains.

6. The human truths that I find in this myth was death; which happens to anyone,blindness, and sleep. I also find that the creations have human feelings such as pride and worry.

7. If man had not been proud, there would have been no need for Doondari to create bad things such blindness, worry, sleep, or death. Then man could have lived happy and free from these things that cause them pain.

8. In A Drop Of Milk, in the beginning, The was a drop of milk, In the Bible, God created Heaven and Earth. In Hebrew, there was already a being creating the world, and in a drop of milk, a drop of milk existed.

9. The Drop of Milk myth doesn't make any sense because how can death exists because of worry was to proud

Crimes

I think that people make their own decisions. They are not forced the do what they don't want to do. Crime happens in many different forms. Most crimes happen because of peer pressure or to get attention from their loved ones. Most of the crimes committed by teens are located in the community.
