and a man and a woman. The two creation stories I chose to compare are Genesis and The Iroquois account‚ The World on the Turtle’s Back.

Style Wars Style wars is a film that documents a number of young graffiti artists who were transforming the city with their unique art. They used the city’s subway system as a canvas and let their work be seen in all five boroughs of New York. This film is a great film that documents that time in history.
