  • What are your ideas about the recreated version of the Grand Mer Kal myth?

    The Grand Mer kal is the same with the one in original myth?

    Analyze her representation as a woman and debate the changes in recreated myth please?

    In the original myth of Reunion island, Grandma was a witch and bad character. She was eating bats, making potions, kidnapping children. I felt so pity for her when I read that her son was killed by a slave owner. She was a mother and lost her son. She had to live with a master. Being slave was too insulting for a person. In the new version, we wanted to make her a better character. She danced with us. She didn't throw us to gully. It was fascinating

    In the new version we created, Grandma wanted the children stop playing smartphones, so she started to tickle children and danced with them. However, in the original one, she was a ghost like woman probably a horror figure.

    I realized that women are all in the same situation all over the world. First, I wonder the other countries myths, but generally they are all similar. Women in the myths are like witch, ghosts, dangerous, devil. We should do something to delete this image. As a female, I feel so sorry for Grandma, but all class feared from her in the beginning

    for the logo contest, I prepared this logo after learning about the myths about women. Grandma Kal in Reunion island and Medusa in Turkey. The two women are similar. They are devil like, but they lost their children. So sorry.. We should analyse the pains of the women before stick names to her.

    After new version, I started to like Grandma Kal. She is so sweet. At the beginning, I must admit that I was frightened. I hope peace for the world. Women and mothers are full of pain.
