Week 1: Un-Textbook

1. Saints and Animals
I would like to learn about saints and animals because of my Catholic background. I feel like I would find these readings interesting and would be able to use them later in life. 

2. Celtic Tales
I would like to learn the celtic tales because I have been to Ireland several times. My parents moved there for two years right after I graduated high school. Because I have a history with Ireland and am semi familiar with their culture, I think it would be great to learn some Celtic Tales.

3. Alice in Wonderland
I am sad to admit that I have actually never read nor have seen the movie Alice in Wonderland. I think this is a great opportunity for me to understand the plot and the history behind the tale.

4. Czech Folktales
I am very excited that Czech folktales is an option. I am Czech and because of that, I think that the folktales from my heritage would be extremely interesting to learn. I once again think this would be beneficial for me to read because then I will be able to share the information I learn with my family.

5. Dante: Inferno
I have read Dante's Inferno. It was about five years ago though so I do not remember much. I mostly just remember that it was very interesting and that I really liked it. Because of that, I would like to familiarize myself with it once again.
