Welcome to my portfolio! These are some of my favorite stories from my semester in Mythology and Folklore. I hope you enjoy them!

Week 5: Storytelling: Big Brother and Little Brother

Dive into the fascinating tale of two brothers as you venture through their life and see the challenges they face from growing up very close and then drifting away as they grew up.  Although they drifted apart and went their separate ways for a time period in their life, they will realize that families and the bond between brothers will always be a part of them.

Week 6: Storytelling: How The Ugly Man Got Married

This old tale is about another boy that did everything he could to be perfect but nothing in life seemed to be going his way.  He heard about a certain challenge from the King, and at the moment, he knew that this was a challenge he had to accept.  Read this story to see if Robert can fulfill the King's challenge and live happily ever after.

Week 9: The North Wind

Have you ever wondered how the seasons were started? It was by the different winds from the north and the south, of course! This is what the fairy tales in the American Indian unit explain.  Read about how a brave and courageous man was willing to risk him life to bring back the nice summer weather for him and the other people in his village.

Week 12: Alice Back In Wonderland

Think about what you would think about one of your best friends coming to school one day and telling you that she fell down a hole and became friends with rabbits and caterpillars.  How about if they told you that they drank a potion that made them shrink and ate some cake that made them grow.  Well, in this story, Alice is telling her friends about this "dream" she had one night that she's not so sure was only a dream.
