Storybook Plan

For the main ideas, I want it to be fun. There are centuries worth of stories between the gods and this would be a fun way to explain the goddesses thoughts and points of views. I do not have an overarching theme.

1. Aphrodite

    This will be a tale about her love triangle. It is very drama filled.

2. Hera 

    This will be a tale about her anger towards all of Zeus's mistresses. He was never faithful and that made her look bad so she would strike out against the girls. I think that it would be set in a way that the other goddess's are doing an intervention type of scenario.

3. Persephone

    There are many sides to this story. I want the main story to be through her and how she feels about her mother agreeing to her half a year in hell (literally).

 I want to tell this story as a third party but with the camera breaks where each character gets to talk. I think it is important to give each of them a time to tell "their side" because it adds to the drama. But, I do not think I am going to overlap the stories. Many of the characters will be in multiple stories, but they do not overlap in the story line.

  1. Hey Brynlee, I am doing something similar with my storybook project! I am taking all of the "lover scorned" type of stories and retelling them in the high school setting. Seeing as most of these Greek Gods and Goddesses' relationships seem like they would be high school drama. I like how you are focusing on the women of mythology. I am sort of doing that too! I am very interested to see what you end up doing with this project. I can't wait to read it!

Introduction to Me

 Hi! I am a junior at the University of Oklahoma. I am studying psychology with a health and exercise science minor. I love psychology because I think people are very interesting. I do not think people realize how similar they are to other people. I think studying psychology has helped me immensely learn how to work with and adapt to those around me both in personal relationships and in work relationships. Over my two years, I have taken some really interesting courses. I think my favorite so far has been social psychology because I think that there is a lot to be learned about those around us. However, my most challenging class was anatomy. I learned so much about the human body and how phenomenal it is that all of these parts work together to create and function us as human beings. As interesting as it was, it was an extremely difficult course. I was pushed to the point of stress I didn't even know I had. I am a better student because of anatomy but in the moment I was overly str...

Week Twelve Story: The Horned Women

The Horned Women  by Joseph Jacobs There was a woman who lived in a cottage. She lived with her family and her staff. One night, after they had all gone to bed she stayed up preparing wool. It was a quiet night until she heard a knock.  "Who is there?" she asked. "I am the Witch of One Horn" she answered. Assuming it was one of her neighbors in need of help, she answered the door. To her dismay, it was not a neighbor. A woman with a horn on her forehead entered the room.  "Where are the others?" she grumbled "They always take so long".  The homeowner was very confused. The witch had made herself at home. It was not long until she heard another knock on the door. Reluctantly she answered it. Standing outside was a woman with two horns on her forehead. The witch charged in to join her sister. Within the hour, ten more arrived. The last having twelve horns on her forehead. They had made a large circle in the room. They were spinning a thread on thei...
