I chose all of the above stories because I remembered a lot of them from childhood, and I was drawn to the familiarity of them. I am really excited to get to read different versions of stories that I grew up hearing, and getting to dig deeper into the nitty gritty of these tales. I am most excited about Bible Women, Arabian Nights, and Alice in Wonderland. I was honestly surprised at the number of stories that we got to choose from, but also the number that I actually recognized. I definitely did not expect to really see any stories that I knew, so I was very excited to see some familiar titles.

Mary and Martha by Gustave Dore

I chose this photo because I love the story of Mary and Martha and I am so excited to read it in a different perspective during the Bible Women Unit, and hopefully learn more from this story.

As well as my many nicknames, my friends call me an old lady at heart. I love to read (most recent book- Where...

Week 9 Story: Justice is Served

Justice is Served The husband and wife were so in love. They were ever thankful to the doctor for introducing them to each other. If it weren't for him, they would have never found each other. But that's beside the point. What they were really interested in was the money. They loved each other but they were both greedy. They thought they could never be ultimately happy unless they were rich. They both had worked for the doctor at one point or another, and so they knew that he had more money than he knew what to do with! The husband and wife were talking one night about their lack of income and how neither of them held jobs. They decided that their best bet would be to deceive the doctor and take his money! The next day, the husband went to the doctor and asked if he could borrow some money to help his wife, who was sick. The doctor willingly gave the husband money, because he trusted him and wanted the wife to get better. A week later, the husband returned, claiming his wif...
