Reading Notes: Robin Hood Part A

When first reading Robin Hood I didn't think it was going to be written in a rhyming pattern. The first two section of the story where telling the readers who Robin Hood and Little John where. In a way it was a little difficult for me to understand. When I continued reading there were several stories of how Robin saved the day.

My favorite story was the butcher. This one was a classic Robin Hood story. Where the sheriff steals from the poor and keeps the money. The later Robin steals back from the rich and gives to the poor. I think when I am writing my story this week I am going to create my own Robin Hood and the merry men story. I am thinking of basing it around modern times. Have the setting be somewhere in a suburb city. I am also thinking of making this around Christmas themed. At the point of all the families who can't afford to buy the kids gifts because they were laid off or someone from above did them wrong. Then get the modern day Robin hood to sweep in and save the day. This is just one idea. I may form several more ideas when I read the second part of the story.
