Topic Brainstorm

This post is based on the thought that I want to write my project based on a portfolio.

Subject 1: Death 
I would like to write a story based on death. I have always found the idea of the mythical figure of death to be interesting. I know death can be described in many ways and even be replaced when death believes it's time to die. I have read stories about death and what it does in the past and would love to make one with my own twist.

Subject 2:  Dante's inferno 
I have always found the subjects based on Dante's inferno to be fascinating. Though I have never read the original book The Divine Comedy, I have read many shorten versions of the stories about Dante's descent into hell. I have always loved how the level of hell are described and why people are there. I would love to maybe make a story about where people who commit modern sins would land in hell and have a character do his own descent to see their punishments.

Subject 3: Grimm's tale
The Grimm brother fairy tales have always interested me. They are not your typical Disney fairy tales with a happy ending. I know the original tales are very old and very dark at times. Also when I was younger my father used to read to me out of a Grimm's fairy tale book. I would love to put my own twist on a Grimm's tale.

Subject 4: Dragons 
I have always found the subject of dragons to be fascinating. I know there are lots of dragon fairy tales with different plots and twist to them. I would love to find some good dragon fairy tales and rewrite one with a twist of my own.
