Storybook Plan

A resource that I think might be helpful is:
the myth of return by Douglas Frame and The Odyssey translations by Tony Kline and Robert Fagles.

Next, the stories that I'll use for my story project are

Calypso's Island
Circe's Island
Achille's in the underworld
Odysseus on Ithaka.

For my story, I'm putting Patrick in place of Odysseus. I may or may not change some of the villains.
I want to explore the theme of nostos and the idea of longing in the stories.

Tech Tip: Twine

I really enjoyed making my Twine. I think I might make my storybook with Twine. The idea of having an interactive game sounds really fun!

Reading Notes: Infancy Gospels Part B

The second parts of the infancy gospels revealed miracles regarding Christ as his holy baby water as well as Christ killing people. I am shocked by some of these stories but I also think it is kind of funny. It's interesting how a lot of these miracles did not make it into the canon as I think some more stories of kid Jesus getting mad at a kid that bumped into him and killing him or resurrecting a kid that fell off the roof just to let his parents know that he did not kill this kid would really add to the personality of Jesus.  One thing that I did notice overall is how human-like Jesus was like at certain moments and the author stated that he gets mad at some points.

Reading Notes: infancy gospels part A

This is my first time reading the infancy gospels and I am quite entertained by the stories. I had not idea that there were other stories of Christ that were not included in the Bible. I really liked the miracle stories of the Baby Jesus and especially how that little devil kid put the towel on his head and crows and serpents came out of him. The way that all these people interacted with each other are really interesting and they all had the same conclusion that it was God doing the workd.
