Next week’s blog response is below this post.
For those of you who are interested, the Institute for the Study of Women & Gender in the Arts and Media here at Columbia is co-sponsoring an event on Darfur. For those who go, if you want to write a little something about your thoughts on the symposium or exhibit, I’ll give extra credit.

After reading Creating the Myth I had a new understanding of myths. I never really noticed how alike all hero storys was and how they all serve the same purpose. After reading the article I thought about the movie Finding Nemo for some strange reason. In Finding Nemo you had a plethera of heros. Nemos father was an hero, Nemo was a hero, and Dori was also a hero. They all where scared and different in the begining but at the end they changed for the better. They all seemed to get their so called “princess” also, Neno-courage, Neno’s father- trust, and Dori- friends.
