“The world on the turtles back” Answer the following questions properly (complete sentences and direct citations/quotations where necessary) at some point, the audience of this story probably decided “the world on the turtles back” is a metaphorical, or figurative, and not literal. When do you think this occurred? Do you think it changed the meaning of the story? Why or why not?

Hey there!

Pretty early on in the story, one can know this is just a myth, and not actually something that happened in real life. For example, the first sentence says, "In the beginning there was  no world, no land, no creatures of the kind that are  around us now, and there were no men." We know that scientifically, we can prove that in the beginning there was in fact a world, land that wasn't built by a person, and there were creatures (humans) like there are now.

Let me know if this helps :)
