Topic Brainstorm

I want to do my project over Tricksters because they are so sly, intelligent, and cunning which makes them so interesting to read about. I want to bring tricksters from different cultures together on one setting. 

I want to do my project over Heroes of Myth and Legend because I am a huge fan of any story that has a hero as the main focus. I want to focus on Greek mythological heroes such as Achilles, Hercules, and Perseus for my stories. I want to retell them with a more modern twist.

I am interested in doing my project over Fairy Tale Princesses because I have always been a little girl at heart. I love the classical stories with a princess and I also want to learn about the different kinds of princesses from different cultures because the definition of a princess might be different in other places. I would want to keep the stories mostly the same but twist the endings because some original princess stories actually do end tragically as opposed to how they are retold in Disney movies. 

I am interested in doing my project over Fairy Tale Villains because every story has two sides or more. The main hero or heroine always is the main focus and sometimes only a small portion of the story is dedicated to telling the villain's point of view or sometimes not at all. I would like to learn more about different kinds of villains in different cultures' stories. I also want to focus my stories on the villain's perspective.

Introduction to an Adventurous Girl

If I could sum myself up in one word, it would have to be clumsy! I once dislocated my knee while watching a movie and I have sprained my ankle quite a few times from falling down the stairs or just tripping over air. I am a micro-biology major entering into my junior year at OU. I aspire to be a physician’s associate one day in urgent care and then pediatric orthopedics. I have insanely over protective parents, so this one time when I got a nose bleed, they called 911... I have 3 older siblings (yes, the last time we took a picture together was my high school graduation). I hear a lot of people say that they don't get along with their siblings but I spend a lot of time hanging out with my brothers and sister.                                                                          My siblings and I ...

Week 4 Story: A Lion without his Tail

Image
   This story is now on my portfolio:  link     A lion was on his usual hunting routine in the forest. He stealthily hid behind trees and bushes as he tried to stay out of sight of his prey. He moved slowly to avoid making any noise. Behind the bushes, a group of hunters were camouflaged and slowly approaching the antelope with the same goal in mind as the lion. The hunters set traps in the forest ahead of time and were waiting to scare the antelope into one of their traps in order to capture the antelope. The lion was so focused on the antelope in plain sight that he did not realize the people in the forest who were also hunting the antelope. The lion beat the hunters to making the first move as he decided to dash straight towards the antelope. The lion built up speed so that the antelope would not have enough time to run away but by the time the lion spotted the trap, it was too late to stop his momentum and he ran straight into a trap set by the hunter...
