Another unit that interests me is the American Indian Fairy Tales unit. I'm always interested in the history and lore of the land I live on and would love to understand more of how it's original people view it.
I also want to look at the Unit on the Congolese Stories. For this I know absolutely nothing about stories or myths from the Congo and I want to branch out from writing about stories I'm already familiar with to areas and cultures that I never before considered investigating.
Finally, I'm also interested in the Egyptian Myths section because I've always found ancient Egyptian religion and culture to be incredibly exotic and purely fascinating especially considering how popular ancient Egyptian artifacts and mythology is in popular culture. I'm also pretty familiar with Greek and Roman myths and know that they were culturally influenced by Egypt and hope to draw some parallels between their story styles.
