Week 12 Reading Part A: Robin Hood

After going through the different stories in this section I found that I recognize the majority of them. Even though I knew most of the stories pretty well I had a harder time thinking of an original idea for my version of the story. Maybe this is because I am so used to how the stories were originally written that my creativity is limited. 

If I was to rewrite this story I think I would base it on the movie " Wedding Crashers" because in that story Robin Hood being the trickster he crashes a wedding. In my story, I would have him crash the wedding and still keep the same storyline that he impersonates the musician as the wedding. I would also have someone as his sidekick to dress up as the minister.  In the end, I would still have the wedding turn out to a happy memory but along the way the bride does notice Robin Hoods tricks.

I have grown up an OU fan and always look forward to the hustle and bustle that game day brings. I am really sad that this will be my last y...
