Week 4 Lab

I decided to do the lab this week and I watched the Crash Course Myth Videos. I watched many of Crash Courses in high school and saw the opportunity to watch more and didn't hesitate to do so. The first video was funny as most of the crash courses are. The beginning was awesome with the slurpee comparison and it makes it easier and a lot of fun to listen to and learn from it. I love how they try to describe the word myth, and it was awesome to see them talk about it and try to explain how the word myth works.

The second episode was really interesting. I really enjoyed the discussion of theories throughout the video. i loved the art that was shown throughout the video. It was all awesome to look at and pause the video and look at it and try to fining meaning when it came to mythological ideas. The video does a great job with explaining the theories as it is a decently difficult subject to comprehend and learn.

The final video of the playlist  is awesome as the heroes of mythology are discussed and there isn't, usually, a great mythology story without a hero. Hero is a vague idea as the video discusses, but it is hard to have a story without that role being played. Hero's take roles throughout mythology that are different in almost every story. There are three parts to a hero's journey. Separation, trials and victories of initiation, and the return of the hero are the three most prominent categories of a hero's journey with many sub-categories throughout the three main ones.
