_____________________________________________________________________________________

     I choose these works based on a couple of factors. If there was a story or topic from a particular region I was already interested in, I chose a work to learn more about that. If there was something that I was unfamiliar with, I chose that to immerse myself in new literary culture. There were a few I really wanted to choose, but as I had read them previously, I decided to choose new works and really grow myself as a reader and writer. 

     I love Greek and Roman mythology so was a little sad there was no unit for those, but I am really looking forward to some units such as the Czech retelling of fairy tales and African literature, as I have not read too much of that previously.
