UnTextbook Exploration

 I have started my search for interesting topics and my attention is immediately grabbed by the story, Cupid and Psyche. I like the thought of love and having someone to love for the rest of your life. Cupid makes me think of love and caught my eye.

While I like the thought of love sometimes I find it hard to believe that you are supposed to love one person for the rest of your life. When I feel like this I like to read darker things. Another unit I would be interested in would be Brothers Grimm (Crane). It also has a different story of Snow White which interests me because I am a Disney Princess fan, but this has a different twist.The image I chose for this is what I and probably most people think when they think of cupid. He is often shown as a baby with arrows flying around, shooting people with love.

The Tales of a Parrot made me laugh. I read a lot. I like sitting down with my Kindle and reading for hours. All of what I read is told from human perspective. This story is told from a parrot, but also a parrot who is the ultimate "bro" to his master by stopping his wife from cheating. That is better than most people can ask for in other humans. I chose these parrots for a good visual of what I think of when I hear the world parrots. These parrots are capable of picking up human language and repeating back what they have heard.

 The Twenty-Two Goblins seems like it would be a good read. It's getting to closer to Halloween, and I am ready for that. Goblins are usually tied into Halloween and this little tricksters in this story seem like it would make it fun to read.
