World Mythology -- Third Period -- Monday

"Congratulations," Ghanima said as everyone arrived. "You've made it through yet another semester relatively intact."

"As any of you know who have taken my classes before, I don't believe in finals," she continued. "Either you have learned from the material or you have not, and making you cram for a test is no indication of your intelligence levels."

"So instead, I want to hear from you today. I'd like everyone to take a moment to stand up and share with us one myth from this class that resonated with them, and why. I am not requiring a verbal defense of a thesis, but heartfelt honesty is appreciated, when approaching the mythos of a culture."

[OCD has arrived!]

Karla stood. "I enjoyed the conversations around the Oresteia the most," she said quietly. "The myth wasn't pleasant, but it raised a lot of questions that were interesting to think about." Even as Karla had wanted to just go back and smack them all. "As for the myths that resonated most closely with me, that would be the ones about the Dreaming and the Songlines, as they're very close to what I know from my own culture. It was nice, to find something I recognized in the myths of this world."
