Storybook Favorites
1. Applying to College (click)
I remember last year, this storybook was one of my favorites. Although this is a story for the Mythology and Folklore class, I love the idea of incorporating characters of the original plot into a college admissions process. For instance, when individuals are applying to college, they are essentially selling themselves and how the most pivotal moments in their lives have shaped them as a person. And for this reason, this idea was such a great way to convey and develop the characters of the Greek personalities the author chose to incorporate.

2. Environment in the World of Indian Epics (click)
Firstly, the design of this blog was inspiring. I loved how the navigation tools were presented as horizontal strips at the bottom of the home page. I am going to consider this for my own storybook. The focus of this project was very unique. It highlights the meanings behind the exchange between humans and their environment. I love how your perspective is not the people, but rather how the environment they live in has the power to shape their motives and reactions. I am not familiar with any of the stories mentioned, and the names of places and ideas were often confusing. However, I foresee this as a challenge to my reading and retelling of the Indian Epics this semester.

3. Devotion (click)
What another inspiring storybook! The stories and characters were introduced in a traditional third person and linear tone; however, it was the modern-day vernacular in which the author used to bring something new and lively! I loved the idea of two worlds colliding-- introducing one character from one original story, introducing another character from another original story, and then using a completely different story to portray the conflict or interaction between the two. For this project, I didn't particularly care for the title. I thought it was over simplified, and it did not accurately represent the main idea, or at least the way I interpreted it.
