In the beginning, the world was only water. God looked down at the water from the sky, and decided to create land. God called hi

s messenger Obatala, and told him to create land. Obatala was honored to be given such an important task. He called his helper Oduduwa to tell him the news. They filled a large pot with soil, and caught a chicken to take with them. They threw a rope down to the Earth. They began to climb down. When they were halfway to Earth, they stopped at a feast. Obatala ate too much and fell asleep. When Oduduwa found him asleep, he picked up the soil and the chicken and continued on the journey. Finally, Oduduwa reached the Earth. He sprinkled the soil over the water. He let the chicken go. The chicken ran in circles, making the soil spread in every direction until there was land. Oduduwa and the chicken created land from what used to be water. When Obatala finally woke up, he saw that Oduduwa had created land. He was very sad. He had missed his chance to create the world! God saw that Obatala regretted being lazy, and gave him another task. Obatala would create people for the Earth.

How did Harlem Renaissance writers use dialect in their works?
timama [110]

Answer:

The Harlem Renaissance brought along a new creative energy for African American literature. This literary cultural movement was to reject the traditional American standards of writing and discover and utilize their own style of writing to signify their cultural identity. One of the most influential figures during this time was Langston Hughes. His writing consisted of poems, plays, essays, short stories, and more. He often wrote about racial injustice and about the celebration of African American culture and spirituality. To demonstrate this new style of writing, Hughes’ first book of poetry published was entitled The Weary Blues. These poems were written using a mix of jazz and blues with traditional verse.
