While
browsing through past students' storybooks, I came across several that I found
intriguing, entertaining, or comical. I genuinely had fun reading through these
stories, and it made me excited for what is to come in this course. My three
favorite storybooks (in no particular order) include the following:
The very first story I came across detailed the descriptions
of famous happenings in Greek mythology from the perspective of Hades. I found
this very interesting, as it provides a unique perspective on events that are,
for the most part, told from similar perspectives. In this story, Hades and
Persephone recount the stories of the War with Troy from their point of view,
which happens to be from the realm of the dead. The description of Hades'
storytelling is both elegant and detailed, and casts the king of the dead in a
different, not-so-eerie light. The story also includes a picture that I found
very intriguing that I will insert below.
The second story I enjoyed was Toto's Adventures in Oz. This
features a very cute recounting of some of the major events that occur in The
Wizard of Oz, as told by Toto, Dorothy Gale's dog. This story caught my eye,
because I never thought to wonder what poor Toto must have been thinking
during that terrible cyclone in Kansas, or all of the munchkins and flying
monkeys. This story was very detailed and so fun to read. This is one kind of
storybook I would like to consider for my project when the time comes!
The last storybook that I found particularly entertaining
was RHWOGM or The Real Housewives of Greek Mythology. This is a title that
immediately caught my eye, and once I started to read it, I was so glad I did.
This story mimics the popular reality television series so well by integrating
famous women from Greek Mythology and creating dramatic storylines between
them. My favorite parts of this storybook were the introductions to all the
women in the introduction, and the manuscript used to tell the stories.
