Topics for My Storybook

I am really looking forward to the Storybook project. It was really neat to be able to read what other students have done in the past and to learn from them. The stories I read gave me plenty of ideas for my project!

The first one that interested me was in Andersen's Fairy Tales. As I mentioned in the past I really enjoy fairy tales! For me, it reminds me of the innocent times I had as a child, sitting in my room reading about princesses and dragons. When I was reading the Princess and the Pea, I thought it was pretty funny how Hans Christian Anderson made the princess almost inhuman with her ability to feel a small pea through tons of comforters. So many fairy tales include princesses, which I love due to watching countless Disney movies.

The second one I found interesting was also in Andersen's Fairy Tales. The topic is about a mermaid! I was one of those kids who always pretended to be a mermaid at the city swimming pool. I love reading plot twists on fairy tales that I am so familiar with. The new story is usually completely different and will have a new moral to the story. I'm really looking forward to putting my own twist on fairy tales as well. Someone had mentioned using my nieces in my stories and I think this would be the perfect place for it! Then I will be able to read my Storybook to them!

The third storybook topic I thought would be fun to do is Egyptian Myth. For as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with ancient Egypt. I loved learning about the mummy processes and how their government was run. Everything about them was intriguing, including learning about the gods. Egyptians believed in many gods. I think it would be interesting to learn about several of them and what their life story is about.

The last topic I found interesting was the Canterbury Tales. In high school, I read the Canterbury Tales. I wish I could remember the stories, but unfortunately, I can't! This is the reason I would like to do the Canterbury Tales as one of my Storybooks! When I was doing research on the Canterbury Tales I found out that the stories were written in verses. I love the way old English is written which is another reason I find these so interesting.
