For this writing assignment, we will be exploring myths andnarratives.  Myths often communicate thevalues, lessons, or beliefs of a culture. For example, Narcissus is soself-involved that he falls in love with his own reflection in the water. Thisleads to his death, because he will not leave himself behind. Lot’s wife, asnoted in the text, perishes, because she does not trust and obey. These storiesact as corrective tales to guide behavior.
