Week 13: Curate Yourself


Arabian Nights translated by Andrew Lang
Arabian Night is an English language version of One Thousand and One Nights. This story retells the ancient stories that have now become interpreted around the world, including the plight of Scheherazade, the adventures of Aladdin, and the voyages of Sinbad.

I believe this story to be important to read and study because this classic story is a great example of how early stories in history can be inspiration to creating new ones.


Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass. 
Frederick Douglass, famed orator and former slave, wrote this narrative that is considered the most well-known of pieces written by former slaves and one of the most persuasive texts during the abolitionist movement in the United States. In the text, Douglass describes his life as a slave on his way to freedom.


I definitely think this read is important to get to know in the topics of inspirational pieces, autobiographies, and history. From this text we can greatly learn from these topics and be inspired to create our own.

But again the experience can be different for everyone. I also found that with long form television there can be more opportunities to stretch stories or even create something new in a way to the series that may have started off as a movie. Additional characters can be another exa...
