Some myths do not have the entire universe created from these voids or unions, rather there are only certain elements that are created such as the world or emotions.

Nyx was Night ... and with part of her tail heaven and earth were joined (10, 67). Not only are their similarities between Greco-Roman myth and Mesopotamian myth, using the body of Marduks slain enemy to form the world rings similar to the Norse myth as well.

- ... state's defining attribute to many outsiders and locals, the Finger Lakes' fruits are ignored and shared amongst a relatively small amount of people.

- ... important, and that he recognizes it's beauty. On page 88 Twain shows his displeasure with people's effect on nature when he writes about the steamboat that, " now and then would belch a whole world of sparks up out of her chimbleys." Soon after Twain writes, "The nice breeze springs up and comes fanning you from over there as a servant to a king in his court, and everything (smiles ... be viewed as a great Adventure. If you look deeper there is more to it. You can look at it as a moral conflict and drama, and even as Mark Twain's view of the world.

- 7425: Book Report For The Odyssey
- ... epic poem written in a series of 24 books. It is one of two epics written over 2500 years ago by the Western European poet, Homer. This epic joins Odysseus 10 years after the Trojan War. The story follows him as he attempts to return to his home in Ithaca where he reigns as King. I am wiser after having read this book because this story taught me about some of the social practices of the Greeks. It taught me that men were dominant and women played a submissive role in their society. The themes in the story interest men: war, hunting, and problems of warriors while the things that interest women are left out completely or are dealt with briefly. In the Greek society, women were valued but participated in worldly affairs only with open ... of the reader to come up with the details like the color and size of the creatures and what the surroundings look like.

"The concept may be written as a single word or as a ... examples of these are: optimism, freedom, truth, faith..." continuing on to say,"USE A THESAURUS!!" So I typed evil into the thesaurus and found a plethora of suitable words for the most horrid man the world as we know it has ever seen. So rather than use"a single word"... Hateful, detestable, abominable, appalling, disgusting, frightful, ghastly, odious, repulsive, revolting, degenerate, immoral, putrid, manipulative, shocking, and most definitely perverse. As defined ... Neo-Nazis, people who thrive on ignorance and pure stupidity. They believe that Hitler was not evil, but on the contrary, he was righteous. It pains me to think that there are people in this world that choose to worship evil. I can understand no appeal in hatred.

- ... What's the purpose to life?" I ask this because I see that most people live without purpose, without caring about others or about any cause. For me, that life is not worth living. A world that is composed of people who care nothing for others or for any moral cause is not a world worth living in. I cannot understand why people are willing to go through life without some higher purpose. Therefore I believe that living a good life does require you to serve the interest of others ... nihilism and looked for ways around its monstrous conclusions. Nietzsche does not, however, succumb to the temptations of the Void but attempts to reconstruct human endeavor in the face of it.
