Storybook Favorites

I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment because I was able to learn so much about things that I did not know about before, but I was able to learn these things through reading stories that are similar to ones that I already know and love.

Here I will explain and write about three of the stories that I was able to read tonight.

Hogwarts: The Loyalty of Brothers
        I chose to read this story first because I grew up reading the Harry Potter books and I have always enjoyed them as I got older. Another thing I liked about this story was that it was almost like a lot of the other Fan Fiction that is written about Harry Potter.
       The introduction of this story engaged me because I could see the students and the classroom in my mind. I could almost feel the atmosphere coming from the setting that was described in the introduction.
       The layout of this story page was, at first, sort of difficult to navigate. I did not know that the tabs were the different "chapters" of the series. I think that the creator should have labeled the tabs in a different way that would be more easily understood.

Gossip Girl: Ayodhya
            Like reading the Harry Potter story, I chose the Gossip Girl story because I enjoyed reading the books and watching the television series. I think that Gossip Girl was a good model to go off of because even in the show, the "Gossip Girl" gives a lot of information on what she is talking about, so within this story there is a lot of information shared.
         The introduction really did hook me on the story because it was easy to read. I could read and imagine Gossip Girl's voice reading through the story. As I mentioned before, the introduction was very good because it shared a lot of information and described a lot of names and words that I would not have known without this explanation.
       The setup of this story was very similar to the Hogwarts blog, and I was better able to navigate through the pages.

Voldemort's Reincarnation
         I chose to read this story to see what the creator had to say about Voldemort. I was interested in seeing the difference in this story and in the Hogwarts story. I love that anyone can take the story of Harry Potter or of Voldemort and use it to explain things such as these stories.
