Some believe that is the fruit that Eve ate off the forbidden tree. Persephone eating the seeds sealed her fate, she would have to stay with Hades six months out of the year. There a few life lessons of this myth Demeter and Persephone.(3) I think the main message is that the young girl (Persephone) must become a woman and leave home. This is a major life change for both mother and daughter.
When Sal’s mom was still in Bybanks they always picked blackberries together. When her mom kissed the tree Sal kissed the same tree and could taste some blackberries so Sal started to kiss all kinds of trees, each with a different taste. On page 29 Sal says, “And then I started thinking about the blackberries, and I remembered a time my mother and I walked around the rims and the fields and pastures in Bybanks, picking blackberries.” This shows blackberries are very important to Sal because it was a good memory about her mom instead of the one where she yelled at her. Also when Sal kissed the tree she could taste blackberries so Sal started to love blackberries.
In the Algonquin myth, the good and evil are two brothers who create life from the body of their Great Earth Mother. These two brothers killed each other so that they could thrive without hindrance from the other brother. In the Comanche creation myth, the Great Spirit was the good force and a shape shifting demon embodied the evil. In this story, there was no battle between the two, only the Great Spirit casting the demon into a bottomless pit (Native American Legends, n.d.b). In the end of each story, the good won out over the evil, even though the evil force continued to harm people on
Sol drives the chariot that carries the sun across the skies, and she drives so fast across the skies of the northland because she is chased by a giant wolf each day (Which is named Fenrir). The gods did leave one pathway from earth to heaven. That is the bridge that appears in the sky as a rainbow, and it 's perfect arc and brilliant colors are a sign of its origin with the gods. This story is a “bind of a clan” and “mythological heaven reflects social structure of culture”. It is a bind of a clan because the three brother came together to fight Ymir then created a whole world with humans in it and those humans need to come together and work with each other.
The relationship between Settlers and the Native Americans was complicated and varied between tribes and settlements. I think perhaps the Natives knew some of the Europeans intentions, but could not see how dangerous the Europeans were, and how much they would change the native lands. Thinking about the two cultures historically, we assume, were vastly different, and they were, but they did share a few similarities. Both societies were deeply religious, but both had very different views about the world around them. The difference ultimately proved great, and both societies experienced great difficulties.

This is found in how “The World on the Turtle’s Back” and The Way to Rainy Mountain treat death. For example, “The World on the Turtle’s Back” states that “the left-handed twin died, but he died and he didn’t die” and that the left-handed twin now lives “in the world below” (40). Moreover, both legends describe people being reincarnated as celestial bodies. For instance, in the Iroquois creation myth, the grandmother becomes the moon after being killed by her right-handed grandson. The right-handed twin, also known as the “Master of Life”, becomes the sun (40).
From this, it can be assumed that the tree shows Janie’s youth. It can be inferred that the pear tree also symbolizes Janie’s want for love because of how she compares herself to it. Later on in the novel, Janie realizes that she can’t have her youth if she wants a future with Joe. “Janie pulled back a long time because he did not represent sun-up and pollen and blooming trees, but he spoke for far horizon” (Hurston 29) Here, the horizon symbolizes Janie’s future and the pear tree represents her youth.
African Bushmen & Iroquois Compare and Contrast No matter where you go every single person has an opinion about how us and our world was created.

Both creation stories are intriguing, they have the same importance of animals but they have major difference in superior beings, each myth is uniquely different. The obvious similarity traits are how the creation stories were told.
