A Confusing Creation

I listened to the metamorphosis reading three times. What I got from it was that the gods were creating the earth. They were making everything equal. The gods made the earth then the rivers and lakes that would lead into the ocean. The most important details I got from this were that the earth had to be all equal. This is why you have the extremes in climate and land vs. water. They said a lot about who made who. The thing is that it was very hard to understand. There was a translation to another language in between. I had to listen to this about three times and still couldn’t make out most of what was being said.  The man’s tone of voice was also very hard to follow. He might want to consider reading about rhetoric and how he can make his voice a little more enthusiastic. Maybe they could also take out the translation in the middle. That would certainly help a lot.
