My Storybook Favorites

The first story that caught my attention was Three Labors of Hercules. As a child I was fascinated by the strength and courage he displayed while completing all of Hera's tasks in the movie Hercules. It is one of my all-time favorite movies and one that will stay in my memory for a very long time. Once I clicked on the Introduction link, I knew that I would enjoy the story. The narrating theme of the story is a classroom setting at Hogwarts, which of course is the school of wizardry and witchcraft in Harry Potter, and happens to be one of my favorite movie series. The introduction is very well written and captivates the reader if he/she is familiar with Harry Potter. The design was very simple but the pictures posted went along great with the story.

Scrolling down the list of stories, the next one that attracted me was Wilderness Legends from the Alaskan Frontier. As mentioned in my favorite places post, Alaska has always been a special place to me. The abundance of wilderness and the variety of wild animals amazes me, so the title for this story immediately stood out to me. After I finished reading the introduction, I wanted to keep reading out of curiosity of what may come next. The design of the page was dark and I thought it complimented the story well as I think of a raven as living in a dark world. The story was great.

Lastly, for my third story, I went with Robin Hood: A Trip Back in Time. It's easy to explain why I was intrigued by the title. Robin Hood was one of the best stories/movie as I was growing up. In fact, I could say that I either watched movies, or read books about him over 10 times as a child. The introduction left me with a lot of questions that I wanted to find answers to. From the title the part "A Trip Back in Time" had me curious to see if the story was going to be from before he was a hero. I thought the design of this page was awesome and something that I could maybe come back to as a reference for my story.I like the color of the page and how the words stood out in bright white.
