Topic Brainstorm

There are a lot of topics that I would think would be really interesting to write about. These are my top four. Using cats  to tell a story: I think that a creative way to retell a story would be through an animals point of view. The animal I would choose would be a cat. There are plenty of stories that include cats in them, so there would not be an issue finding a good story to use. The reason I chose cats is because I am a big animal lover myself. It would be very interesting to tell a story from a cats point of view because they have different characteristics and distinct personalities. Using cats to tell a story would allow me to learn more about how they were incorporated into Myths and Folklore. How cats tell a story Nursing home for Olympian Gods and Goddess : This would be a really fun Storybook to create. My Storybook would follow a nursing home that cares for some famous Olympian Gods and Goddess. The Gods and Goddess would then all be together playing some game whil

This was a great story to read! The writing style is nice because it is easy to understand. There are no tricks or difficult language to comprehend.

I also like how this story has a mix of being told from a narrator and then also having dialogue between characters. I sometimes only do one or the other rather than including both. It is easy to get caught up in the certain way that you are writing, but being able to switch it up within the same short story will add variation which will be nice. The character Mary seems sweet.

It can be entertaining to have negative and bad characters, but having a nice character is essential as well.  Roses  that Mary wanted Once Mary got to the castle,
