Demeter-Demeter is intimately associated with the seasons. Her daughter Persephone was abducted by Hades to be his wife in the underworld. In her anger at her daughter's loss Demeter laid a curse on the world that caused plants to wither and die, the land become desolate. Zeus became alarmed and sought Persephone's return. However, because she had eaten while in the underworld Hades had a claim on her. Therefore, it was decreed that Persephone would spend four months each year in the underworld. During these months Demeter greves her daughters absence, and withdraws her gifts from the world, creating winter. Her return brought the spring.
Theme/Moral of the story: Always listen to your "adult figure/ teacher," (who ever is in charge.) or else bad things might happen.
Connection to Modern World: Some people (mostly boys, but some girls too) don't like to listen. Whether it be their mom,dad, or teacher they don't like to listen so, bad things happen to them.!
This is Demeter's Mythology "symbol."
Zeus is very fond of Demeter. He gave Demeter two children 1 boy, and 1 girl. But Demeter wasn't looking to have an relationship.
3. Environment My thoughts on the environment are that we the people who are living on it we for one litter way to much, also nature is a beautiful thing, so why are we destroying it? If you are going for a walk one day and look to your side most liking you'll see garbage everywhere on the ground. Why? Cause people make it easy for themselves and just through it on the ground. Like why can't they just keep it until they find a garbage can? Just like everyone is wasting so many trees these days. Those trees are there for us to breathe oxygen. Not to keep chopping them all down. A lot of teachers will photo copy a paper for the class. And say the teacher has 30 students in the class, so the teacher photocopies 40 pages and realizes there is a spelling mistake so they through out, all those 40 papers and correct the mistake and photocopy 40 more pages. Like why not just tell the class where the mistake is, then make them all correct it themselves ? Why waste so many more trees!
