How We Came To Be

Over my first course in Stories we had went over ways to create a picture with our words basically. We started off by making observations around us and making a story out of that. We used similes, metaphors ,adverbs and adjectives. This I think brought out the writer in me and made me create my own perspective of how I think life came to be. But honestly the only people who do know are dead. The purpose of this a.p was to learn how to come up with are own etiology story and make others that read it feel what we are saying. My process for completing this project started of at a slow pace and began to speed up as I saw we only had one more day to finish. Etiology is a story how something came to be or the origin of something. In this case my story is on the topic of earth and how it came to be.

Long before any man or creature to roam the Earth ,there was an ancient alien king who created the universe.The king was bored one century and couldn't quite put his finger on what he wanted. In his time off he would kick asteroids ,through the universe causing meteor showers and the sun to burst into an explosion. At that point, an amazing idea sparked in his head. Create a world with inhabants to see how long they could survive. So he grabbed his magical sword and floated out through the galaxy to find a perfect sphere shaped rock as round as a basketball. When the king found the rock, he laughed foolishly at his idea, but proceeded to strike the rock. When striking the rock he created a mist of ideas and anything that he was thinking was now put onto this planet. It created all sorts of animals and other aliens. It also created lava rivers, gigantic futuristic skyscrapers and a dome over the planet to control the temperature. In time, this planet took a total of ten seconds to create, which is rather fast. The king forgot to think of oxygen since he didn’t breath because he was immortal.The planet itself looking from space appeared like a furious ball of fire, and anything near it would disintegrate. On the planet, it's very chaotic there's hell everywhere and almost rarely any peace”. After the king finished the mist over the planet, he decided to name it Zarth. Planet Zarth has huge blistering lava rivers and oceans across the entire world. These lava rivers are like volcanoes that spit up there lunch. They give the aliens living there hope. They stand for the purpose of a new creation. The air dense like a blanket that covers and hold you tight as if it would never let go. Here on Zarth the wind is always cruelly blowing and there is no day only night. When the skyscrapers lights beam they sparkle like a chandelier hanging from the ceiling and make the world look beautiful for a moment. So as Zarth was named the inhabants fell drastically from the sky and fell into the lava river creating huge muscular creatures who could inherit their own superpowers. They would go on to explore there new world like sheep in a herd. And so they did.

The alien creatures named themselves the Zartos and became stronger as they grew in number. With this in mind, they took over most to all the animals habitats and conquered like an Empire. There were three powers that you could gain at birth and that would be super strength, lighting fast speed and the ability to fly. These powers were gained through the lava as you drink it. The lava wasn’t hot to them and didn't burn their skin. They mostly used their powers to kill or cause mischievous mayhem. The air itself in the environment is poison to any other alien to enter the atmosphere. This causes the aliens to wear nose pieces that provide oxygen. The nose pieces were painfully placed on at birth, and left a dreadful scar under the lip. One distinguishing feature of Zarth is that no one can die unless they truly wanted to. if an alien did, the alien would be called an outcast only to come back reincarnated as an animal. The Zartos always had war on their planet, and they were very destructive in their actions. They would fly super colossal space crafts and drop nuclear bombs on each other.Zortos would destroy land and party after battling. This would cause The Ancient Alien King to get wrathful and cause disastrous storms that ripped the skyscrapers down, tore out business and blew inhabitants off the face of the planet Zarth. So the Alien King had failed in his first attempt in making a world, and the aliens on Zarth only lasted for about 100 years. 

After that trial, The King wanted to create a opposite of Zarth. Furthermore he flipped the named Zarth to Earth changed the environment from hell to peaceful, and turned the lava into hard rock that would take place as a home for his new creation. The king wanted a foreshadowing tone to this new planet as if there were flowers everywhere, trees, lakes and streams but made out of something simple and pure. So he created water and that's how life began to evolve. Then, as water came along he added, land broken into sections on earth and created humans out of the water. Furthermore Humans became strong and started to speak like birds chirping in the tree and became the omega of the land. These humans depended on food unlike the anilens so the king made animals to eat. He made humongous gardens all over the world and left humans to be. This new world was very majestically, so pleasant and quiet. Something like a beautiful sunset over the horizon with favorable colored birds gliding swiftly through the air. The humans never fight here there's no chaos, and everything is perfect like the alien king wanted. To be continued.

Reflection
In the end of this project it was very tuff for me to come up of how something came to be. I never made a story like this before and had to think outside the box. Overall from this AP I have learned a lot and how to improvise. I think I did well making a picture that I wanted my readers to see. I struggle with grammar, and where to place certain adjectives and metaphors in certain places. Also I struggled with using Blogger for the first time and it was very frustrating. If I had to do this again I would take my time and also think faster so I could get done and have my teacher revise it. I am also not that fast at typing so it was hard to try and keep up with my classmates. This ap has taught me how to look at things in a different perspective and not to judge.

Over my first unit in population class we have been discussing the taxonomy of organisms. We have also went over some mathematical concepts called sets and used these in our daily assignments and even partnered up with each other to create a universe of sets. Then as a class for are F.E we went to Lincoln Park zoo to study the behaviors of Chimpanzees then our picked organism. While here we took pictures, recorded and wrote down observations to settle a common ground. We also read a book over the summer called In the Shadows of Man by Jane Goodall and this book was based on the topic of how man came to evolve. It was very interesting and made me wonder how we got here, and how are humans and Chimps the same. This was a bit difficult for me being this my first A.P, but I worked hard on it and did the best I could do.
