Improvements
I think that if you added videos to watch instead of just reading for the Myth-folklore class like the Epics of India it would be good. Sometimes it gets boring to read and if you had videos to watch it makes it more interesting and captures out attention. Plus it is also easier to understand some of the harder stuff since we can see it. I liked having some videos option in the Epics of India class, it made hings easier and I definitely enjoyed having those options.

Reading Notes: The Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales
The Grimm Brothers' Children's and Household Tales translated by D. L. Ashliman (1998-2013)
The little red riding cap was definitely interesting to read and not at all what I was expecting. I could write about how the wolf caught up to her in the woods and what they talked about there. I just wonder why he did not just eat her there. No one would have caught him there. I think I would change the ending though so that they do not have to open his stomach and rescue them but rather save them before they get eaten by the wolf.

Household Stories by the Brothers Grimm, translated by Lucy Crane and illustrated by Walter Crane (1886).
I could write about how Aschenputtel managed to escape from the prince each night and the adventures. I could also write about the task her step-mother gave her in thinking that she would never be able to finish them. Then add the part about how her friends the birds would always come and help her out no matter what she needed help with. The way her step-sisters tried to fit the show on and how she managed to end up with him after all.

I could write about Snow white and the four times that her step-mother tried to kill her because she was so beautiful. Snow-White was most definitely not the brightest or at least naive since she always fell for the old lady even after almost dying so many times. At least in the end snow white finally got peace once her step-mother died and finally managed to leave the poor girl alone

Reading Notes: Italian Popular Tales: A
Italian Popular Tales by Thomas Frederick Crane (1885)
I could write about how the beast had pretty much blackmailed the girl into staying with her. He did the same with when he asked her to marry her since her father was dying. It was interesting how she didn't have to love her in order for him to transform. I could write about the life she had there and what she went through during her time in captivity.

Reading Notes: The Story of Beowulf: B
The Story of Beowulf by Strafford Riggs with illustrations by Henry Pitz (1933).
I could write about the battle Beowulf had with the dragon for his treasure. The great battle that occurred where both of them died in but at least Beowulf's people got the treasure from it. He ended up with a crown and died right there in the cave. The treasure ended up burning on the pyre of Beowulf as he had earned it with his death.

I could write about the things that Beowulf went through in the water race and the creatures that he fought to stay alive. I could also write about the guy that challenged him and have some conversations with them so we can see what kind of people they were too. He was really big and strong so we can also include some accidents that occurred because of it too.

Reading Notes: More English Fairy Tales: B
More English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs with illustrations by John D. Batten (1894).
I could write about how he went to go see the king and because the king is who he is he had to kill the man for making him look worse. The king always needs to look the best and he was making him look bad. The kings decides to ask three questions and if they were answered his life would be spared. My story could be about the three questions and the journey of how long it took to find the answer.

I could write about how the only one to help find the golden ball for the girl was her sweetheart. No one helped her out. Not her father nor her mother. They all came to see her get hanged but only the boy came to rescue her. They deserved to be together because he loved her so much and she loved him.

Reading Notes: Myths and Legends of the Great Plains A
Myths and Legends of the Great Plains by Katharine Berry Judson (1913).
I could expand on the dinner at the Giants place when the rabbit ate there. I could add conversations and make it longer instead of he got there, he ate food, stole some food, and left. That was very abrupt and we did not really get to know the giant or what he looked like even though it was the first time meeting him.

I could write about how the Raven managed to steal the lake. Or how the beavers had to keep cutting down trees and more trees but instead of giving up they keep going. The raven eventually gives up and the beavers get their house back. It was stolen from them and it is only fair that they get it back while punishing the raven for his crime.

The father and son duo trapped into the maze that Daedalus had created himself. Will they manage to ever escape? Do they manage to gain their freedom? I have not included an ending in this story, leaving it up to you guys. Let me know what you all come up with in your comments.
Arachne & Athena
Pride and ego can ruin a lot of things but knowing when to back off can help save you. In this story I did not write the ending because I wanted you guys to make your own. Let me know what you all come up with in your comments.
Pyramus & Thisbe
This is the story of two lovers that could never meet. They never saw each other but through the eyes of their hearts they fell in love through a small crack.

Reading Notes: Myths and Legends of British North America: B
Myths and Legends of British North America by Katharine Berry Judson (1917).
They practically kidnapped the salmon and force them to come back every year. I could write a story about them revolting and fighting against this and actually winning so they do not have to keep coming back. Adding a conversation between them would also be good and we can get to know them better too.

I could write the story about how the sun became brighter. Extend the story to include some conversation so that they have to negotiate more so that the sun can get the brighter robe. We can also have the reaction of the grandma once the boy comes back with a different one. We can also talk about why the whole village moved away and only left the kid and the grandma behind. What did the child do that we were so mad at him?

Reading Notes: Epified Mahabharata
Reading Guide. Epified: Mahabharata (2015-2016)
I could talk about how Draupadi was humiliated in front of everyone by being disrobed. I could also add the fact that she prayed to Krishna and was saved by him and didn't have to be completely disrobed. How despite everything her five husbands could not do anything about it? The fact that they lost everything and even themselves in the gambling match that they knew would be rigged anyway.

Reading Notes: Pattanaik's Secret Secrets of Vishnu: (Rama & Krishna)
Pattanaik's Secret Secrets of Vishnu: Rama & Krishna (2011)
I could talk about the two avatars of Vishnu: Rama and Krishna. The way each of them were born because each has a great back story and even after once they were born. They had great yagnas so that they would have sons born. While krishna was born after the murder of his siblings by his own uncle. He killed all seven of his sisters children and tried to do the same with Krishna. I feel like this would be a great story to tell since it not something that you can hear about normally.

Reading Post: Sita Sings the Blues A
Sita Sings the Blues By Nina Paley (2008)
I could write about how Rama was exiled into the forest for 14 years with Lakshama and Sita. Then how his father dies while they were away from the grief of having the three of them in the forest away from him. The way kayeyi uses her promises to do this and is hated by everyone because of it. I could also talk about how Ravana's sister practically lured Him towards Sita so that Rama would be free and she could get him. Or how Hanuman practically burn all of Lanka with his tail.

I could write about Krishna and Radha's love story. Them playing together and Krishna teasing her for years caused them to fall in love with each other. The fact that they could never be together was just so sad. He may have loved Radha but he would always belong to Rukhmani.

I could write about the time when Krishna convinced everyone to pray to Ghovardhan hill instead of Indra. He got really mad and decided to flood the town with rain because of his ego and pride. Krishna then picked up the hill on his pinky until Indra realized who he was and apologized for his misdoings.

Reading Notes: Pattanaik's Calendar Art: Part B (Narayan)
Devdutt Pattanaik's Seven Secrets from Hindu Calendar Art.
I could write about how the churning of the ocean happened and all of the things came up to be. How they needed both the devas and the asuras to get the treasure they all needed. The amrita, his wife Lakshmi, wealth, and many more things. There was a lot of fighting and even poison emerged from it which Shiva had to consume to stop the world from being destroyed. This is why he has a blue throat from the poison.

Pattanaik's Calendar Art: Part A (Ganesha)
I could write about the race between Ganesha and his brother to see who would be able to race the world and come back first. Who would win Ganesha or his brother? Which one will get the mango? The end was definitely a twist and something that no one was expecting. It could be really good and interesting story.
I could also write about how Ganesha became to have the head of an elephant. It is clear that no one actually is born like that and so how Ganesha was born is actually a really interesting story. It is not something that people would think of.
