I chose most of these because the topics were familiar. I think it would be really fun to retell these iconic stories with a spin on them. On Weeks 7 and 9, I was really unsure what I wanted to choose because I was pretty unfamiliar with all of the suggested topics. On weeks like this one I always like a trickster story. I also love fantasy topics as well so these kind of just fit with my interests.

I chose this picture because of the intricate detail in it. I was reading some of the readings for Weeks 7 and 9 to get a better understand of what I amy want to write about. This picture caught my eye because as you can see there's a person coming out with rays of light coming out. The person looks like some sort of hero of some sort which looks cool.
