I think these sort of stories are made to answer a question; like, why people are like they were in that story, or something simple as why the tide comes in and out. This type of writing is very relevant (especially in kids' books, I noticed). The story's lesson can be applied by being more mindful of why you are feeling what you are feeling, and correcting it if needs be.
ReplyDeleteHow come I'm always the first one to post on these things? >>
ReplyDeleteI think that these types of stories seek to find reason behind things we don't know or why certain things happen. I believe that these stories are still relevant. Different views or even just the meaning behind stories can help you relate to your situations or find reason behind them.
ReplyDeleteu were not the first to post on the first blog sukka. oh yea and religous literaturei feel reflects wants the people in a culture feel in their daily lives through the act of just survivng.
ReplyDeleteStories like these show us the tales and stories other cultures are told and share growing up, or tell to their kids. Its just like The Three Little Pigs, and stories like that. Some people grow up hearing that, others grow up hearing different stories.
ReplyDeleteStories like these tend to have a very important lesson for life. They can vary greatly, but they are important none the less. They also help keep cultures alive.
Yes writings like these are still around and important, you just need to know how to find them.
Well, I dont want to become a jealous and angry person, so I'll just try and control the things I can, and not worry too much about the things I cant control.
they are seeking the answers to how things are solved that some people might not have an answer for. and yes they are still used today. my chinese teacher tells me their stories about new years and all that rubbish on how they beleve the came about. and what you think can be right if it needs to be
ReplyDeletereligious literature can be very influential just like how the book of mormon is very popular around this area because of the way utah was set up. Amish communities are based on a religious book and beliefs.
ReplyDeleteThese native American stories are their history, they answer the questions of were they believe they came from. If you believe in these stories then i guess they could be relevant.
ReplyDeletebecause its they're history and they tell where things came from and they're seeking answers. they are still used today. during seminary i had a lot of indian stories told to us relating to god and stuff like that! plus i have a friend who used to tell us stories when she was answering a question we asked her.
