Rick Riordan Presents Imprint vs short stories from class:
My creative project is a compare and contrast between three books from a published imprint to several short stories we have read in class. The imprint is called Rick Riordan Presents, Riordan is the author of the Percy Jackson series and many others who have partnered with Disney Hyperion Book Group to complete a simple goal. From Riordan himself, he states on the imprint's website “the goal of the imprint is to publish great middle- grade authors from underrepresented cultures and backgrounds, to let them tell their own stories inspired by the mythologies and folklore of their own heritage” (Riordan). The respective stories that I have chosen to analyze focus on Korean, Hindu, and West African mythologies. Those books are The Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee, Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi, and Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia. The PowerPoint presentation will be analyzing settings, conflicts, and themes in the primary and secondary sources.
