Homer's Iliad

(Poor Dog, Sioux  --  Boston Public Library)

This reading is based on a poem about a fight between Achilles and Hector in the Trojan War. Reading A contains 11 pages and Reading B is 7 pages long. I have heard of stories about the Trojan War (with the famous/infamous Trojan Horse), but after reading about this, I realized it was not about that. Hopefully I will be able to learn new information regarding the Trojan War because this seems to delve further into Trojan War detail than I have examined before.

Sioux Legends
The legends in this reading are about the Sioux people. I am interested in the writing style within the reading because it gives points of view from two different women, so that may change the language within the stories. I do not know anything about the Sioux people, but from this reading I hope to learn more about the legends of trickery along with the life of these people. Reading A and B are both 9 pages long.

Alice in Wonderland
Growing up, I heard stories and watched the movies about Alice in Wonderland. This reading contains many of the stories from the original novel, but the style of writing may be different than I am used to. It  contains poems and is written in a prose style. I am anxious to see how my reading/note taking will be affected by the style. Reading A is 9 pages long and Reading B is 10 pages long.
