Homework help.

Okay well I don’t need help, but I do need your opinions. One of our assignments was that we had to write a myth about how belly buttons came along. Even though we all know how they really got there, we had to make up a mythical story. I finally finished it and this is what I’ve got.

Btw, its pronounced Ka-Rel-E-Uh and Mar-Sin-Ne-Us.

Charelleah was a 14 year old girl who had not a care in the world. She was very selfish and had the emotions of a lifeless plant. While out on a hike, Charelleah will run into an elderly lady who will teach her a lesson she will never forget.

On August 8th, around midnight; Charelleah and her mom were having a large disagreement. She couldn’t take anymore and decided she was going to go on a small mountain hike.

While slowly marching along the dark ridged trail, Charelleah bumped into someone. “Excuse you, Can‘t you tell your standing in the way?!”, “Do you have no life? Who stands in the middle of a hiking trail?! Especially at night!”, She shouted at the top of her voice.

“I go by the name Marcineas The Goddess of Wind, and YOU bumped into ME!”, The old woman shouted back. Charelleah didn’t pay her any attention, she just went on about her business, Watching as the older woman trailed behind her.

“Are you going to follow me the entire trail, or are you going to go a different direction?”, Charelleah rudely said. Marcineas responded; “I can tell you’re a very rude and thoughtless girl, and for that you will be severely punished!”

Charelleah looked at the older lady and chuckled, “What can you Marcineas Goddess of The Wind, A lady of your age, possibly do to punish me for not caring?” Marcineas turned her head, “Just wait and see, Around this time tomorrow your mom will go missing, there will be strong winds, and you will hear a knock on the door, That’s when you will be stricken in your stomach by a magic arrow, thus piercing a hole.”

As they entered some light, Charelleah started at the lady in disbelief. “Hahaha, You can’t be serious old lady. And just who will shoot me with this so called magic arrow?” Marcineas couldn’t believe what she was hearing, She‘d never ran into such a rude careless little girl in her life. “Just wait, you’ll see!”, and she faded away into the night.

Charelleah was starting to get kind of freaked out, so she decided to head back home. There wasn’t much to do at home, but sit there and wonder about what the lady was talking about. When wondering got bored, she just headed off to sleep without saying a word.

She woke up the next day totally shaking in her pajamas. Charelleah actually thought about what the lady said; “Would being more kind actually be a nice change?”, she wondered to herself. She thought about it for a while, “Haha No!”, Charelleah yelled out loud.

It was late in the afternoon, when Charelleah had discovered things weren’t the same. Her mom wasn’t any where around, the wind was blowing extremely hard, and she kept seeing that little old ladies face every where she turned. What the lady had said was true, All except the knock on the door. Maybe a change in heart wouldn’t hurt, but Charelleah just wasn’t ready for it yet. She searched and searched looking for her mom. After searching for about a hour with no sign of her, Charelleah started to get worried and scared.

It was about an hour later when she heard a knock on her front door. She ran to the door, hoping and praying that it was her mother. In walked in the same old lady that Charelleah ran into along the trail. “Wha-Wha-What are you doing here?” She stammered. “I told you the time would come little girl, and now it finally has!” There, right in front of Charelleah’s pale blue eyes, That same little old lady turned into an arrow, just like the one she mentioned earlier. Charelleah ran straight outside, Her feet pounding against the hard stone-less ground as the snow would on a cold winter night. She couldn’t believe it was actually coming true.

As Charelleah ran, she noticed the path coming to an abrupt end. As soon as she turned around to go the other way, It was to late; She had been struck in her stomach by the arrow. Charelleah fell to the ground and there she lay, staring straight ahead at the figure that once was a little old lady, then a arrow, That figure had now shape shifted into her mother.

“Charelleah, I’m sorry but I had to do it. I didn’t like your ways, neither did anyone else. You were getting to evil sweetie. I’m going to remove the arrow now and leave you here with your belly button to die a peaceful death, Okay?”, Her mother spoke in a soft tone.

Charelleah was confused, “Why mom, Why did you do this to me?” And at that moment, Charelleah’s eyes shut closed, the way they would remain forever more.

That is how the oh so popular “Belly Button” was brought into this world.
