Reading Options

I am very interested in the classical readings in this section and am excited to get to read them. The story that I chose for my week 2 choice is Homer's Iliad. I am familiar with this topic and absolutely love the story of Achilles and Hector. These types of stories are what I love. Ones that have conflicting heroes and grand battles, and that I can relate to other movies like Troy.

Another story that grabbed my attention is Alice in Wonderland. Again my love for Disney has my eyes glued to this story. Also I love the strangeness of it and how it incorporates all of our imagination.

And finally another story that grabbed my attention was Brer Rabbit I and Brer Rabbit II. This story is an amazing one that shows how imagination can lift the spirits of someone in any circumstance. Also not many people know that this is a movie. It was created by Disney, but it's content was too racial at the time that it never came out. My family has a DVD of it and so I have seen it before and it is an amazing story.
