Week 2- Storybook Topics

One of the first topics I’m interested in is the animal character.  Any story that deals with animals coming to life is fun to me! I have always been entertained by the fact that an animal could talk and help you; this is probably why I am pretty obsessed with fairy tales, because most of them have to deal with animals talking.  I hope to read and find more stories that share adventures with animals. 

Sometimes I hate to admit this but I am a little obsessed with stories about love.  I am a pretty big fan of any movie that ends happily ever after, but I also can handle tough love.  For example movies or books that don’t end with happily ever after, but still ends with a positive note, like if someone where to die because of cancer or dies out of love for another.  For this topic I read through different storybooks about love, and learned that these stories can be much different from the original type of love story I’m use to but almost still have the same concept.   I hope to learn how to better explore these types of stories so that I can fully enjoy the love that comes out of them. 

The third storybook topic I looked at dealt with birth and death. I am more interested in more death related stories.  I have experienced a lot of death in my life and within my family, and this is why I find these stories interesting.  I like to see how these people’s and characters learn to deal with death, and with my dream of helping people some day overcome pain I think it will be beneficial for me to read these stories and learn about them. 

My fourth interested storybook deals with the Gods and Goddesses. I have of course learned a little about Gods and Goddesses thought out my education career, but It has been a very long time since I have study them, so I am not that familiar with this topic.  I do know that I am more interested in the Gods and Goddess of nature more, for example the Gods of the water or wind.  I hope to learn and read more stories about how the Gods and Goddesses control the nature.   I also know that most of these Gods and Goddesses are intertwined with each other, and it would be cool to learn how they are connected within each other.
