Topic Brainstorm


My first topic is mythological Dogs. Dogs are my favorite animals and I love reading stories about them. The main story I have heard before was of Argos, but I also have heard the story of Gelert. I would love to tell stories of a dog's adventures and loyalty. I think it would be interesting to tell the story through the dog's point of view. 


I also like the Greek Goddesses. I am particularly interested in the psychology of Hera. I know a decent amount about her, and I think it would be really interesting to read her diary. Why does she stay with Zeus when he is such a giant cheater? Why does she focus so much on revenge against the women? Why is she so spiteful? these would all be interesting topics to explore. 


 My third topic I am interested in is the Jataka Tales. I have always had an interest in Buddhism after reading the book Siddhartha and also taking a course on comparative religion. I haven't heard of any Jataka tales besides the one we read for this class. I would like to write about the specific virtues mentioned, but write in a more modern way. 


The last topic I would like writing about is werewolves. Once again, I love dogs and wolves, and definitely had a werewolf teen drama book reading/movie watching phase in middle school. I obviously know what a werewolf is, but I didn't know where the legends came from. It would be fun to write stories about a "werewolf" but instead of turning into a wolf they turn into my favorite dog, a pug!!

  1. Hello again Sarah! If you like dogs, you would love mine! I have two, Gigi and Jazmine. They are both shihtzus! Gigi is uhm... very special haha. She is cross-eyed, but not inward, her eyes go outward. She has about three teeth left, she refuses to walk on a leash, and she pretty much hates everyone. She is basically a cat. Jazmine is a really good dog though. She absolutely loves my mom, is very friendly, sleeps on my mom's bed, and she can escape just about anything you could try to trap her with. She is super smart!
