Storybook Plan

As I have discussed in some of my previous posts, the premise of my storybook will focus on Greek mythology. While the portfolio was an idea I entertained, I am excited to pursue my take of Greek mythology figures. Specifically, I will examine the stories of Apollo, Artemis, and Atlas. The theme of the storybook will take these gods and titans and convert them to high school seniors applying for college. Essentially, I will be writing college applications for each figure from their own perspective. For Apollo, my story will focus on his battle with Python, and how he would use this to convince colleges he is an appealing candidate. My story on Artemis will retell her heartbreak story with Orion and how her tragedy has shaped her to be a motivated college student. Finally, Atlas's college application will focus on his story with Hercules and his task of bearing the weight of the heavens. As an older non-traditional applicant, he will detail why he is ready for a change of scenery and for an opportunity to grow. The story styles will be in first person from the viewpoint of either Apollo, Artemis, or Atlas. I will try to center it around a typical college applicant perspective, so each figure will do their best to present themselves in the best way in order to convince colleges that they are the best fit for them. Additionally, I might include resumes of each mythological figure to add to the website. The website will try to resemble the Common App in order to keep attuned to the theme of the storybook. Check out my post on my storybook laboratory for more information of my storybook!
