To me, this story is like a fairy tale. It is simple, yet interests the reader with its common ideas. In the world that Talon lives, there are the Kind beings of the Light and the Evil creatures of the Dark. This relates to the common opinion that good is represented by light and evil is represented by darkness. In the world of Light are the creatures and gods. There are separate creatures for different parts of nature, and a god rules each group of creatures. In the world of Darkness are the Miniatures, evil creatures that capture and kill the good. I think this story shows the characteristics of a myth because it explains things about nature. It also refers death to be a quick, insignificant thing. Mostly, this story contains explanations. Messengers throw "Sun stones" to wake the sun and the sky is woven from magical "threads" by caretakers. Rain and tears created the stars of the night. I believe that these indirect and direct references to nature are important aspects of myth.
             I feel many different things from this story. Parts of it remind me of a far away utopia. Everything seems to be perfect and in order. Nothing is complicated and everyone does what he or she was specifically created to do. The sun shines brightly, the clouds are whit, and the sky is always blue. It is a typical and magical idealistic world. More in realty, the story also attempts to show that nothing can always be perfect. Caretakers create the sky and so the sky is not always the same. Nothing is ever always the same perfect blue. In this case, I think that the color blue would represent happiness and perfection in a world of hate. This is the same for the sun. If, one morning, the messengers with the sunstones happened to forget to wake the sun, there would be no sunlight that day. The story tries to show that nothing can ever be absolutely perfect.
