Zemini Persuasive Speech

I've chosen the constellation Gemini. You ask me why I've chosen this but I have no idea actually. At least not what I can tell. You are a Gemini when you are born between 21 May and 21 June. It's element is water.

The Gemini represents the twin Castor and Pollux. One mortal and one immortal. Their mother, Leda, got pregnant from two different fathers on the same day. One of them was her husband, the other was Jupiter. Pollux was immortal, as he was the son of Jupiter, and known for his strength. Castor, the mortal one, was known for his skills with horses. Both brothers were searching for the Golden Fleece and fought in the Trojan War to return their sister to her husband. When Castor died, Pollux begged Jupiter to make him immortal too. Jupiter consented and reunited the twins in heaven. They are unique, as they are actual stars that mark the head's of the twins. Castor is a white star while Pollux is orange.

My own myth:

Once upon a time there was a girl.

As she was beautiful, the whole village was in love with her. Everyone tried to get her attention, but she was never interested. From the whole country young men came to try to steal her heart. Nobody successed. But then, when almost everyone had tried, a young man came. He wasn't more handsome as the others. He didn't have more money. He was just an ordinary boy. But that ordinary boy did the impossible thing: he made her fall in love with him.

Short after they met, they decided to marry. Everything was great. She got pregnant and gave birth to a twin. Two beautiful daughters. But one of the men she once turned down was jealous. He was the one who was supposed to be the father. Not the other. He contacted a witch and cursed one of the daughters. She would never have the looks of her mother. She would become very ugly so she would never find a

men.

The parents were very ashamed of her and hid her. Only they knew she existed. Years passed and both of the daughters grew up. One as beautiful as her mother, one hidden for the rest of the world and ugly. One happy, one lonely. Jupiter, who saw the girl was lonely, send an angel to her. "Don't be afraid, little girl. You can change your destiny. Go find the red flower with the blue leaves. Then you'll change." The girl and her sister went on a journey to find the flower. They searched everywhere but no flower. In the end of the journey they met a man. He was old and blind. When he heard the girls, he took their hands and spoke. "Be happy with yourself and you can change everything." The he gave the flower they were looking for.

The girls went home and tried to follow the advice of the old man. Years later, when their time had come, they died in each other arms. The flower, who had never died, turned into a white swan, and took them with him to the sky. And since then they looked down on earth, still together.
