Storybook Plan

A main theme/topic I want to go with for my Storybook is a sense of inclusivity and being the underdog. Jovi is going to, try to, be the dog that shows the world how to treat it and be a good person through funny stories. He will also teach that everyone has the chance to be great no matter the obsicles that are in the way. A few stories that i will take some inspiration from are:
Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck
http://nisbah.com/summer_reading/ff_mice_and_men_steinbeck.pdf
Stories of Hercules
https://www.history.com/topics/ancient-history/hercules
I going to use a third person to not confuse Jovi with a human character. I have a few story ideas that I discussed in a blog post earlier in my blog. A few more ideas have come to mind such as Jovi playing golf and becoming a world star golfer. Jovi will also be a voice of reason in a sensitive story about the death of my grandfather. Jovi will be the example a human that should exist in everyone so that the world will one day become peaceful and no one will have to worry about needs that they absolutely need. Jovi will be my story of the person I wish I was. There will be sad, happy, and many other emotions that will come through the stories and I hope to entertain all who read them!

Topic Research

I have decided to do a Dog Saga. This comes from the example storybook that was given called "Dog Diaries". I want to create a saga of my dog Jovi. I don't have many pictures of him since he lives at home, but he is my buddy and he deserves the spotlight. The name of the series will be Jovi: The Dog of All Dogs. Jovi is loving puppy that I wish I could have brought to Oklahoma with me, but my mother would not all it to happen. I have a couple story ideas in mind, and some are more realistic than others.
1. The Beginning: This will be an intro story of my dog. It was a crazy, cool journey as it was a surprise, to me, that Jovi came into my life. Jovi is a very special dog!
2. Sports Day: Jovi is really good at sports. He was recruited by the Top Dog (pun) University in the United States in multiple sports. Jovi has crazy vertical and amazing moves that you will have to read see the immaculate impact that he has.
3. Running for Office: Jovi has all skills necessary to become the next great President of the United States. He has the character and will power to have great change and have the nation prosper.

Topic Brainstorm

Weather Gods: This weather gods subject really intrigues me for a few reasons. I originally came down to Oklahoma for a meteorological degree but have since switched. The weather gods are interesting characters that have played many of roles throughout history. There are so many weather gods and the wide range of characters and stories that can be told from then are very enticing.

Dog: The thought of a dog story is really funny to think about. Dogs can do so many things in a story and series of stories. Dogs have many role throughout mythology and the variety and opportunity that a dog character holds is coll to think about as I have a lot of ideas for stories.

Cookbook: Food is always on everyone's mind. Food is something that everyone can get behind and want to eat all the time. Food throughout mythology has played a decent role. Whether it was a golden apple or a simple meal that changes the outcome. Food has always played a major role. Food has a lot of variety so there are many of ways that it can be used throughout a story.

Pirates: Pirates are one of my most favorite character types in any story. They always have an interesting role as they can play the villain, hero or even just a common bystander. Pirates seemed just fantasy to me when I was younger, but as I grew up I realized the role they actually had across the world. They weren't exactly the same looking with the creative and extravagant outfits but they still had the sane niche as they did in the movies.
