Nursery Rhymes: What Really Happened:
source: Nursery Rhymes: What Really Happened
In this series of stories written by a previous student, they break down three popular nursery rhymes and write them in a first person context. The first story in the series is titled Little Bo-Peep, and recounts the story of the character little Bo-Peep, and how she lost her sheep one day. After reading the original nursery rhyme and reading this first person depiction of the story, I found it much easier to understand what really happened in the nursery rhyme. I really liked the descriptions that were used in this rendition of the story as it almost felt like a thrilling book. The second story in the series was Humpty Dumpty. This account of the story lengthens the original and adds context to what was happening in the city at the time of his great fall and gives the perspective of being an average citizen in the town on a day to day basis. I liked this style of writing as it gave a unique sense of belongingness to the story. The last story was titled Hickory Dickory Dock. This story added fabricated details to the original short nursery rhyme to how the mouse in the original story was a town hero and helped out the citizens with their problems.
The Lovers of Zeus:
source: Zues's Ex-Lovers
This story book accounts for the life of ancient greek god Zues and his many lovers. The home page for this talks about how this story book is for those who are interested in rom-coms and Greek mythology. The story book itself talks about Zues's life and love life more in particular in a light hearted and comedic fashion. I like this concept for talking about these ancient stories and bringing more of a modern touch to them.

This story was about our lovely Norman campus and the stories of different students here. Those students being the famous greek gods and goddesses that the ancient greek stories are about. I really liked this style of story because it made these stories very relatable and easy to read. I think I might go with a storybook like this for my project. Guess we'll have to wait and see...
