For the reading today, I read the essays and response part, which is called Chi in Lgbo Cosmology. After I read this chapter, I want to talk about how people think the spirit and the god in their mind. As my other class learned before, most of the people live in Lgbo believe in spirit. They think that spirit has a mysterious power. Sometimes the power can bring the people happy, lucky and wealth. In some of the areas, children will get a ceremony to connect to the spirit, which can make the children have wealth forever.

Also, for the god, different area believes in different god. They have their own god and the god is very mysterious. In some area in Lgbo, women are not allowed to see the god or pay to the god because people think that women are not sacred enough to pay for the god. 

After talked about the two main parts in this chapter, the main idea I want to talk about is those spirit and god theory are all pass from generation to generation. At the very beginning, the old people saw a god and then pay for them as a traditions, finally, they pass that tradition to their children and their children pass that to other. That’s how the spirit and god still exist in our world. In my opinion, I would also think that those spirit and god are actually connected to the literature in some points since they are passed through the writing system. And literature means any written words for recording the history.
