An old drawing/painting of Cinderella with her fairy godmother. I chose this image because it looks like an older painting of one of my favorite European fairy tales.

Image from Myth & Moor: Retelling Cinderella.

The unit I am most excited about reading this semester is the European unit. The stories within this unit are stories that I grew up hearing from my parents and reading myself. Fairly tales such as Cinderella, Red Riding Hood, and Rumpelstiltskin are stories that I would love to read about again. Another thing I am interested in is old mythology and heroes. A lot of the readings I chose this semester involved heroes or battles among mythology characters; therefore, I am excited to learn more about these things. Overall, I am super excited to learn more about mythology from different regions this semester!
