Anthropology and Myths

One of the main thing that I can relate to this section would definitely be the misfortune and the explanation to misfortune. I believe that everyone has their own obstacles and every single person copes with it in a different way. After reading, "Anthropology: A Beginners Guide", I noticed that the explanations of misfortune made so much sense to me and how my life has changed because of this. I never payed attention to the evil and the good but eventually I put it together and well if there is a devil or hell then there has to be a god or heaven. A few years ago, my mother went ill and they could not find anything wrong with her. This was when we began hearing a lot of crazy noises in our house and began paying close attention. We realized that this was no illness, but more of a misfortune. A misfortune that the Azande would probably explain as someone doing witchcraft to cause misfortune. This is when I began realizing that there is a difference between black and white magic. Long story short, this whole experience I went through with my mother made me believe in God much more then before. This gave us the explanation that we can witness evil and now that we are doing much better we can also believe that there is good out there as well.

If I could be a superhero to this situation I would choose Cat women, not only because she is disguised as a black cat more like someone who can fight the bad without looking like she is scared. AND SHE IS A WOMEN.
