Reading Notes: Robin Hood Part B

The second half of the stories where mostly about Robin stealing from the rich and giving back to his merry men. I really like the format of the story. How it is in more of a ballad with a storyline. Having the story like this forced me to stay focused. 

I think my favorite two stories from this section was the "Bishop of Hereford" and "Robin Hood and Maid Marian." I have always loved the stories of Robin Hood and Marian. Within the ballad of Maid Marian it described her beauty. She is compared to Helen of Troy. I think the reason why Robin Hood and Maid Marian are my favorite is the love that they have for each other. It's so pure and nothing will stop them from loving each other. 

Think about doing a story for this week. I may change my idea from yesterday and do a story based on Robin Hood and Maid Marian. I would still put this in modern time. I also want to put it in the holiday setting. I think this would be very cute. Base the story mainly around the characters and not necessarily the all the ideas of Robin Hood. I am also thinking of making a situation for Robin to save Marian.  But these might change as I begin to write my story for this week.
