Portfolio Introduction

For my portfolio I plan on using stories from Aesop's Fables or other folktales that include stories on animals.

Individuality:
This story is about embracing your differences and your insecurities. Although they are the things that, many times, we wish we could change about ourselves, they are the things to be admired. While growing up it is hard to fit in and that is something that is so important to people as they go through high school and college. What is important to remember is that what makes us different is what makes us stand out and these are the things that other people will learn to appreciate.


The Origins of Lightning and Thunder: 
Have you ever wondered how the sun or the moon got in the sky? Or maybe where the wind and the rain originated? Well, this story is here to tell you exactly how lightning and thunder wound up in the sky. Would you believe that they were not always natural elements of the earth, but instead were one of its inhabitants? To find out exactly how all of this happened, read this Nigerian Folktale and all of your questions can be answered.

The Woodpecker's Tail:
There are many different sides to one single story. Each person, animal, object, etc. has its own point of view; one person's opinion of exactly what happened will be different from another person's. This story tells how the woodpecker's tail became the way it is, but tells it from a surprising point of view. To find out how this happened to the woodpecker and the difference point of view can make, check out this unique Tejas legend.
