Week 2 Reading Overview (2.1)

I am really excited for these readings!

As I was searching through the UnTextbook, I found myself liking continuous stories and Greek mythology. Greek mythology is fascinating to me and I am eager to learn more about it. The other type of readings I selected were specific to a region. I lack cultural knowledge of places such as China, Nigeria, Russia, and etc. This is a great opportunity for me to discover new styles and themes of readings along with expanding my knowledge of the world. I found several readings I was excited to read that I did not list too, especially in the biblical and classical unit and the Middle Eastern and Indian unit. Concerning the style, I enjoy there being a single long story instead of several small readings. I think it will be easier for me to focus and stay attentive if I can get lost in a story rather than switching around and being distracted by how many readings are left. Children's stories also appeal to me, along with readings that have an easy to understand language. With that said, I may surprise myself so I put in different types of readings. You can check out the readings I initially found the most interesting below!
