She wrote beautiful, emotional pieces. Many of her works focused on love and relationships with her friends and family.

Fables FABLES are stories that teach a lesson or give advice about life. Animals are often the main characters and given human traits. “The Ant & The Grasshopper” “The Tortoise & The Hare” “The Boy Who Cried Wolf”

Language ODYSSEY = a long journey (also Honda’s minivan) TITANIC = something large (like that boat that sank) PLACE NAMES = Athens is named for Athena, Atlas Mountains named for Atlas who held up the sky, Europe named for Princess Europa
