Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt: Write about a time you felt connected to nature, like the kinship in Native American myths.

Prompt Response: I often feel connected to nature, in respect to the kinship in Native American myth, when I'm out riding my bike alone behind my father's condo. During this time I often look up at the trees and observe any animals or interesting plants I find along the road. I especially feel connected when it's cloudy or slightly rainy, as I can directly see the power nature has over us, even when we've distanced ourselves so much from it. I also go on hikes and trails occasionally, which also yields a similar connective feeling for the same reasons.

Summary: Today we took notes and learned about Native American literature and the many forms it can take.

Reflection: One of the main points that I took away from the lecture are the differences between  myth, religion, and urban legend. I really enjoyed learning about aspects of Native American culture, and I wish that it was more incorporated into modern education.
