Many myths make us understand how the earth, humans and living things were created. Several myths contain common themes of (1)supreme creator who leaves the world, (2)cleansing fire or flood and (3)from nothing to something. Another common elements in many different common myths is the suoreme creator who leaves the world. For example, the Chinse myth Phan Gu left the world after he was pleased with his creation. Another example for this element is African Bushmen myth who the Kaang master of living things left the Earthh where he can see the whole world. Even though their cultures were far away from each other, they share similar ideas. Another similar common element in many myths is cleansing fire of floods. In the South American myth th god sent flood to the Earth because Tepeu and Gucumez caused trouble on the planet. Another myth that connects to this element is the African Bushmen myth. In the African mythm Kaang told people not to use fire but they disobeyed him and Kaang punished people. The time and places of these common myths are different yet they relate to each other sharing similar ideas. One of the common elements in different and many common myths is from nothing to something. The Chinese myth, Phan Gu created the world from nothing. In the Norse myth, Villi, Ve and Odin illustrated Ymir's body when there wasn't anything except them. This tells us that they have connections between them even though they couldn't communicate and thier languages are so different.In conclusion, there is a lot of proof that many myths have common elements relate each other.

Your sequencing and transitions were strong. You used examples to justify your points well. You were on topic and it read 'tightly' - you explained and developed without losing the thread of your topic sentence. Well done. Check your conventions. Strong start - work on a hook and take another look at your conclusion. Is the reader left wondering? I liked the balance between relevant detail and an examination of the 'big idea'. You selected well.
