Hephaestus I saw this on the announcements and chose it because I like Greek mythology. That and I literally just watched Percy Jackson. Achilles I chose to go to Achilles from there because I love his story. Iliad I chose to go to the Iliad from Achilles because I have read the Odyssey, but I have never read the Iliad. Troy (Film) I chose to go to here from the Iliad because I just love this movie.    Hephaestus and Athena                                                                                                      Troy                 Source                                 ...

Lancelot: I chose to start with Lancelot after I saw him in the class announcements because I have always loved the stories of King Arthur and the knights of the round table. Guinevere: I then went to Guinevere because I was curious on what ever happened to her after her affair with Lancelot was discovered. Merlin (2008 TV Series): I chose to go here from Guinevere's page because this is one of my favorite TV shows. Colin Morgan: I chose to come to this page from the Merlin page because I really appreciate Colin Morgan as the amazing actor he is.

Yokai I started off with this article because I saw something about Yokai on the class announcements, and it reminded me of one of the first anime's I had ever watched. Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan I found the link to the manga of the above mentioned anime on the Yokai page and went to it. Weekly Shonen Jump This is the magazine that the manga was serialized in and so I decided to go this page to figure out if I knew any other manga's that were also serialized in it. Rurouni Kenshin This is a manga of an anime I have watched before so that's how I ended up here from weekly shonen jump.                     Yokai                                                                     Rurouni Kenshin                 ...

Pablo Picasso I saw Picasso on the class twitter feed, and chose to start my trail with him because he's one of the few modern artists that I like. Paloma Picasso I chose to go to this article because I was curious to Picasso's children. Jonas Salk I chose to move on to Paloma's stepfather because his name sounded familiar. Then I realized it sounded familiar because he was the guy who developed the first successful polio vaccine. Salt Institute for Biological Studies I chose to go from Salk to the Salk Institute because as an architecture major I've actually seen this building multiple times. I mostly see it when talking about its' architect Louis Khan.                         Salt Institute for Biological Studies                                                  Source     ...

I started off with Selena because when I was on google earlier I saw she was the google doodle today and I also saw it on the class twitter stream. Although I don't listen to tejano music and don't know any of her songs I thought I should still do this trail starting with her. Mostly because I think she's an inspiration for anyone who wants to be a musician in a genre of music isn't as popular in mainstream US music. She was one of the most influential Latin artists of all time, and I think that's because of the achievements in music that she reached. Selena's article sent me to the article for the Billboard music awards. I wanted to go this one because because the album it was referring to allowed her to tour in the US, and I was curious to see if she won the awards it was mentioning. The Billboard music awards led me to the 2017 Billboard music awards page. And if i'm being completely honest its because at this point I realized where I could, and wante...
