Pandora’s Box
There was once a woman named Pandora. Zeus (the father) wanted to make revenge on a man named Epimetheus, and Prometheus. Zeus sent Pandora with a locked box, and gave Epimetheus a key that unlocked it when the two became husband and wife. As Zeus gave them the box and key, he said to never unlock the box, but knowing that they would become curious and unlocked the box; it was part of the Zeus’ revenge. After a while, Pandora became curious and opened the box with the key that she stole from Epimetheus.

When Pandora opened the box all sorts of diseases, ugliness, hatred, and evil came out of it. After opening it she closed it immediately. She showed her husband what she did and opened the box again to show him that it was empty, but all of sudden a bug came out of it. The bug said I am hope, and from now on your world starting this day will have hatred, deadly diseases, ugliness, evil and hope.
Personal
Reaction: Pandora
should have listened to Zeus, and should not have disobeyed his instruction. If
Pandora did not open the box (base on this mythology story) the world would
have those horrible events that came from the box.
I believe the author’s intent was for the
reader to learn a good lesson on obeying instructions when given. This story use
Chronological pattern.
