I am very excited to learn about Greek mythology, and I will likely do some extra credit reading for those weeks, but I am also very excited to read the folklore of Brer Rabbit, as I just went on Splash Mountain in Disney World recently, which is themed around the tales of Brer Rabbit. I am also looking forward to reading British and other European mythos and folklore because I have been interested since reading excerpts of them in my AP Language and Literature classes in high school, and being a biology major, I am not really able to study or read these awesome stories without taking away from my other studies.
