My Storybook Favorites
Many of the past Storybooks grabbed my attention while I was browsing. There were many different writing styles and story-telling methods by the students.
Real Housewives of Ramayana
I began selecting storybooks for this projects by titles that caught my eye. As someone who loves to binge-watch the "The Real Housewives" reality shows, this title immediately caught my attention. The author writes from the point of view of the host, Andy Cohen, and introduces the housewives. The drama revolves around the five housewives Trijata, Kaikeyi, Surpankha, Ahalya, and Sita.The author mimics the concept and drama from the "The Real Housewives" with Ahalya being used as the antagonist of the story. The writing style of this author was creative and entertaining, while still being informative about the Storybook.
I selected this Storybook because I thought it would have a different writing style than the first Storybook I read. The author introduces Mandodari and her two daughters, Amala and Amita during the introduction. The daughters are eager to hear the stories about Mandodari that they have never heard before. The rest of the storybook goes into details about Mandodari's untold life. The style of this Storybook is much different than the style of the first Storybook I read, but I still found it enjoyable and entertaining to read.
The Nutcracker
The last Storybook I read was from the Myth-Folklore class. I adored "The Nutcracker" when I was younger so this title drew my attention fairly quick. Instead of the story being about Clara and the Nutcracker she is given like the original story, the author took a different perspective and tells the story from Mina's point of view. Mina is a dancer in "The Nutcracker" ballet, but the story follows the same concept and a similar storyline to that of the original Nutcracker. The author taking a different perspective to a classic story keeps the Storybook interesting and new.
