Myth-Folklore Topics

Storybook Topic: Egyptian mythology

Comments: Egyptian myths have always intrigued me because of their uniqueness and supernatural like stories. It would be fun to be able to retell one of those stories with a different twist.

Possible Stories: After reading the Egyptian mythology I really like death of Osiris and king of the dead story. Both Stories go hand and hand so It would be really fun to create my own version of tale with a little bit more action and thrill.

Sample Stories: The Death of Osiris, King of the Dead

Bibliography:

Title: Egyptian Myth and Legend

Author: Donald Mackenzie

Year: 1907

Storybook Topic: Limbo

Comments: After reading Dante’s inferno I thought that limbo was a cool story to write about. Since it is basically a place where people are stuck because they lived before Christianity.

Possible Stories: I could retell a different version of Dante’s limbo. I could tell the story of the soul of man who is stuck in limbo. In my opinion the reason for being stuck there is pretty unfair. So I would tell the story of one man who is liberated and find justice for being stuck there.

Sample Stories: Limbo

Bibliography:

Title: Dante’s Devine comedy

Author: Dante Alighieri

Storybook Topic: Fairy Tales: The Three Little pigs

Comments:  I thought this story would be cool to work with since it is all-familiar to most people and it is a story that I used to hear when I was younger.

Possible Stories: The three little pigs would probably be a cool story to change up. I would probably make a different version such as parody or more action packed for a more mature audience.

Sample Stories: The Three Little Pigs

Storybook Topic: The Living Dead.

Comments: I would like to write a cool story of zombies or corpses with a lot of action because I find zombies interesting.

Possible Stories: A cool story to change up and make a different version of would be The Two Corpses by W.R.S. Ralston. I could change up the story leaving the two corpses the same but instead of being it one soldier I would make it a group of soldiers who try to survive. I could make the story more suspenseful and add a little more description to it.
