Creation Myth
Themes of sadness, supreme beings and cosmic eggs are at the centre of many creation myths which is unusual because the ways of life and beliefs were so different. In the Chinese myth of Phan Ku there is sadness among the humans. Phan Ku has died because he was too old and tired to continue the earth so he goes to sleep and never wakes up. This is how the sadness formed among the humans. The Supreme Being is Phan Ku in the Chinese myth. According to the Chinese, he has created everything we know about and what we don’t know about. A cosmic egg once carried chaos and Phan Ku. The egg exploded and out came Phan Ku and with him came yin and yang. He himself stood between the two elements and this is how the sky and the earth are separated. Phan Ku created everything right? The question is, what created Phan Ku?
A pleasing start to this paragraph. Your cosmic egg and supreme being needed more supporting evidence - you didn't contrast Phan Ku with anything here, so you can't prove your thesis statement that these things happened a lot in different places. Try not to end on a question, especially ion this type of formal writing. Image?
