Summative Assessment: Close Reading of Two Creation Myths
HW: TBD
I enjoyed the trailer, it was very creative explaining how universe was created. Showing and explaining how the world changed everyday, evolving into a more advance species. But at the end gods gift was not enough for the humans, falling for the temptation of what we can not have.
At first the trailer confused me because of how fast it was moving and I’m relatively blind but when I focused in a bit I could grasp what was actually going on. I liked the creativity a lot and loved the animations. With the animations I was able to connect back to certain myths which made the trailer relatable.
