Title: Wolfs & Foxes
Comments: My whole life, I have loved all types of animals
and feel a strong connection with them. Out of the animal kingdom, the two that
always strike me are wolfs and foxes. Foxes are my favorite animals but I also
love the look of wolfs as well as their mysteriousness and protectiveness
Possible Stories: Since Wolfs are very acknowledgeable
animals for centuries, I know I will find many from different cultures but I
don’t know if it will be as easy to find stories about foxes. Looking online, I
was able to find tons of stories on wolfs and even found one so that both
animals are in the story.
Sample Story: I chose the story the Wolf and the Fox for many
reasons and one being the title. But the story is also compelling. When I talk
to people about animals, people say that wolfs tend to be wise and held in such
a high standard. But foxes get little credit. Because foxes get little credit,
I am glad that this fox was acknowledged for his keenness and slyness.
Therefore, the fox is the wise one.

Title: The Hang Man
Comments: A big passion of mine is horror movies as well as
stories. Ironically, I am a huge chicken but scary stories, movies or
documentaries are my guilty pleasure. I can’t get enough of them!
Possible Stories: Since I am a huge fan in this genre, I
know that there are tons of options to choose from.
Sample Story: I was able to find a story from one of the
links provided in the instructions. It is a true story that just leaves the
reader’s skin crawling! A robber was shot in 1911 and from then till 1977 his
dead corpse was used in many attractions around the world

Title: Native American
Comments: Another interest of mine is Native American
culture. I love listening to chants from different tribes while I meditate or
just to listen to it while I am studying. I would like to learn more about
their folklore and culture as well.
Possible Stories: While knowing some about the culture, I
know that Native Americans have many tales that have told for centuries. With
that knowledge, I know I can find something of interest.
Sample Story: I found a story about a coyote and a bear,
which are very famous animals in Native American stories. The coyote and bear
work together with crops and fishing but the wise bear just makes a fool out of
the gullible coyote.

Title: Lions
Comments: At home, I have two cats of my own that I treat
like my babies. Even though I have love for both dogs and cats, cats are my
favorite since they seem wise and independent. I feel like lions are just big
jungle cats, so I really like them.
Possible Stories: There are plenty of stories about lions in
legends and myths but I have yet to really look into it. I just recently became
interested in Lions from a friend of mine.
Sample Story: The story is about a woman who stole a cup
from a rabbit. After the lion heard this, he hunted the woman and killed her
but left her skin. Thus, the lion wore the skin and went back to her village.
Once the villagers found out, they set the lion on fire and regrew the woman
from the heart.
