Myths: Reading Mythology vs. Creating Mythology

Image
The creation of a myth differs from studying about a myth because when a writer creates these myths, they need to have a deeper connection to their myth.   Meaning, there’s a specific reason why an author is creating their myth and it’s to tell their story.   Just as the Greeks created their stories, it was for them to explain why objects within their society existed.   That is the ideal of creating a myth and that is to create a fictional story explaining a mythical story behind the creation of all things.   When we learn about myths, we only can figure the history, the analysis, stories, and theories about these mythical beings.   Rather, when we create a myth, we know everything about those aspects but much more.   With my experience learning and creating myths, they are essential to the career I’m pursuing.   Much mythical studies configure with the themes of literature and English.   First, there’s the reading part and second, there’s the act...

Poetry: It Can Be Profound and/or Personal

Technology: Its History and Modern Conveniences of E-books

Hi, my name is Robert and welcome to my room of my own.  I want it to be a place where it’s just not my room but for all my readers.  This first blog will discuss and focus on the way media technology should play in teaching within all levels!  First, we must realize what technology really is!  When we think about the term we initially think about electronics: computers, internet, cellphones etc.  But what if I told you technology has been around for thousands of years?  If you were to get deep in its history, you would notice it’s been around for a long time.  In this case, I’ll focus on a more specific definition.  Technology just means to evolve an earlier invention to a more convenient and modern object.  One of my favorite pieces of technology is the printing press, which was first invented in the mid-15 th century.  Now, we have quick computers and printers that can print a max volume as compared to the legendary printing press....
