1. Discuss the similarities and differences between the story of creation in Greek myth and
the story of creation recorded in the Bible.

The similarities between the story of creation in Greek myth and the story of
creation recorded in the Bible is that in both stories, darkness was one of the first
thing that is present, before there was light everything was empty. Both stories
have the creation of human specifically Pandora that was made by Hephaestus
just like Eve, faith isn’t strong enough and even if it is prohibited they still
disobeyed what the rule is and follow their curiosity. The differences between the
two is that In the Bible, there is no wars. Greek creation is more on family
conflicts. Also Greek myth tells that in the beginning there was only Chaos and
chaos is not present in the Bible.

2. Share your reflection of the love story and adventure of "Cupid and Psyche" and
"Pyramus and Thisbe"

Cupid and Psyche love story is like planned, Psyche doesn’t feel or recognize love
to thousands of men who worships her. Aphrodite’s plan has a big rule to Psyche
and Cupids love. But in that one mistake of Psyche for not trusting Cupid, Cupid
ran away and that’s when Psyche realize how he love Cupid and began to ask for
the forgiveness. Psyche faced a lot of challenges just to gain back Aphrodite’s
trust but then Psyche overcome it all and they continue their love together with
Cupid. Pyramus and Thisbe love story is tragic, they cannot freely love each other
just because of their parents. By that issue, they planned to have a secret
marriage and that leads them to dead when Pyramus found Thisbe’s vail full of
blood, he kill himself and when Thisbe saw it, she also kill herself.

Both stories give lessons, we should always trust our partners love to us and
never doubt their gesture. Love is like a language of bravery. In that sense you will
do everything for the person you truly love and it is one of the great feeling in the
world that everyone needs. Love will always find a way and if it is meant to be it
will be.
