Topic Brainstorm

After extensive research, I have gathered four ideas that I am looking forward to potentially doing my storybook over. This was no easy decision and I spent ALOT of time just trying to narrow it down from my originally seven possible ideas. I think I have narrowed it down to the top four and I can't wait to share them with you all.

1. Food (Veggie Tales)

This idea instantly caught my eye because it reminded me of a childhood favorite of mine, Veggie Tales. As kids, my siblings and I grew up watching this show an loved the way it incorporated Bible stories into fun, kid-friendly entertainment. But furthermore, from the research I've done. I have seen that vegetables have much more of a history than what I am aware of. I look forward to exploring this history and seeing what information I can share.

2. Bible Couples (Adam and Eve)

I think that most people, whether obliged in the specific religion or not, have heard of Adam and Eve. The couple is an iconic representation of temptation and sin. I grew up hearing this story but even after doing research learned that there are aspects of the historic tale that I was unaware of (like the fruit wasn't even an apple). My dad is a pastor and if I do this story I really look forward to being able to speak with him on certain Biblical topics that he might have additional insight on.

3. Nursery Rhymes

I've noticed a bit of a trend with my choices. They all have a nostalgia factor to them and this idea is no different. Most people know of the popular Nursery Rhymes, "Mary Had a Little Lamb" or "Humpty Dumpty". I look forward to exploring these traditional nursery rhymes in a new light. Just like Disney movies, we find that often times, these "family-friendly" tales often had a much different original interpretation.

4. Feral Children

This is a topic that I have actually previously watched documentaries or television specials over. I find the topic fascinating and always become very invested in the children's futures. The idea of children being raised by animals, albeit unbelievable, is not a newly discovered phenomenon, but rather one that has existed for years and years. I was unaware of the sheer immensity of traditional stories based upon feral children but think it would be a very interesting topic to cover.

Introduction to an Actress...

I thought it was about time that I got around to properly introducing myself. My name is Lauryn but most of my friends and family only refer to me as Laur. I am 21 years old and a junior in college (woohoo!). My hobbies include working out, playing with my puppy, singing, playing the piano and guitar, and playing soccer. For me, where I am is a huge testament to how far I’ve come. Life hasn’t always been so easy and I have not always known whether I would make it this far. I was a very healthy child. An extremely athletic competitive soccer player who was on the brink of breaking into the Olympic scene. No really…It was 2012 and I had just received my second invite to join the Junior Olympics Women’s Soccer League where I would have to move across the globe to Australia with my trainers and coach and begin a life away from everything I’d ever known. The first time I had politely declined, much to the chagrin of my parents and coaches. But now,  I was 14 years old and already had ...

Week 11 Story (Grandmother River's Trick)

The scurry of frightened fish often overpowered the otherwise serene waters of the river. It was a common scene. Just as the sun began to set and the first glimpses of nightfall arrived, you would hear the first painful cry of a mother fish mourning her new little babies. The predators often struck at night. It was easier for them to sneak around, without fear of being eaten themselves. Every living species in the river understood that being prey was a risk, but the recent uprise in baby fish death was due to the predators gluttony and greed. The mother and father fish were terrified. Every night when they went to bed, they would tuck in their baby fish and pray that they would awaken with them the next morning. Recently, more often than not, frightened parents wold awake in the middle of the night to the loud chomps and chews of the predator munching on their children. Each day the parents would grow angrier and angrier, but due to their size and position in the natural food chain, ...
