      .Leviathan was a sea serpent and often called a monster .This 'monster' is very significant because many different religious include it in there holy books Even though all religions are different they all used the leviathan as some sort of monster who fought or was made by god .

    1. Native myths such as the Raven Tales, as opposed to tall tales and little stories for children, are not entertainment and are cultural property of the clan or individual that the story originates from. It is customary that others should not tell stories that are owned by another clan, especially if they do not live in the same area

      This is very significant because people need to know that these stories aren't just a little children's story but more of a very important part of peoples culture . These types of stories mean so much to the people that are a part of that culture and believe many people forget all about that and are often disrespectful .

    1. Nüwa created humanity due to her loneliness, which grew more intense over time. She molded yellow earth or, in other versions, yellow clay into the shape of people. These individuals later became the wealthy nobles of society, because they had been created by Nüwa's own hands. However, the majority of humanity was created when Nüwa dragged string across mud to mass produce them, which she did because creating every person by hand was too time- and energy-consuming. This creation story gives an aetiological explanation for the social hierarchy in ancient China. The nobility believed that they were more important than the mass-produced majority of humanity, because Nüwa took time to create them, and they had been directly touched by her hand.

      Nuwa herself was able to create humans and the ones she did create became noble people . I find it interesting see her as a huge god because she made the people with her own two hands and sculpted them . I really like what she represents because her story is where China got their social hierarchy .[]

    1. Âu Cơ had always desired to be in the mountains again and Lạc Long Quân, too, yearned for the sea. They separated, each taking 50 children. Âu Cơ settled in mountainous northern Vietnam where she raised fifty young, intelligent, strong leaders, later known as the Hùng Vương, Hùng kings.[3][4]

      Au Co was a fairy who fell in love with a dragon who saved her . I found this part of the text interesting because of how both parties wanted different things but they both respected each others choices by coming up with a compromise and end up okay with the decision . Even if they couldn't be together and happy both got kids and Au Co the fairy was able to live in the mountain and still raised really strong kids .
