Japanese Mythology - I chose this unit mostly because I am not familiar at all with Japanese mythology. I would like to see how it is different from other types of mythology that I have learned about before. The overview of the unit seemed really interesting and got me excited about reading it. I hope to expand my knowledge and learn more about the Japanese culture as a whole throughout this unit.
Homer's Iliad - This unit caught my eye since The Iliad is one of my favorite stories from Greek mythology. I mainly learned about it by watching the movie Troy which shows a depiction of the Trojan War. The movie made me want to learn more about the story in greater detail. One of my favorite characters from Greek mythology is Achilles due to how great he was at fighting.
Dante's Inferno - As I mentioned in an earlier post, Dante's Inferno is one my favorite stories. It is just so unique and interesting to read. The imagery is vivid to the point where you can imagine being in Hell. These are a few of the reasons why I chose this unit to talk about. Recently, I have been wanting to read this again so now will be the perfect opportunity to do so.
