Extra Credit (30 points)
Choose ONE (1) of the following:
A) As I mentioned in the lesson, Greek mythology is practically overrun with nymphs, nature spirits that are neither gods nor mortals. For the purposes of this class, they are faeries. There are different types of nymphs. Pick one nymph category and tell me about that particular class of nymph (dryad, naiad, oceanid, etc.). Where do they live? What do they protect? Are there any famously-known nymphs in that category? If so, who? Minimum 300 words.
B) Most of these creatures are difficult to find illustrations for. I should know, I scour my usual art sources on the Interwebs and have a hard enough time looking for legit sources! Anyway, pick a creature from the lesson and draw your own depiction of it. ORIGINAL WORK PLEASE.
C) You are one of the creatures in the lesson (it doesn't matter if you're a trooping, solitary, or household faery), and you are slightly miffed about how you are depicted in this Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. Or, if you didn't appear at all in the series, you are miffed about that instead! You want to let Rowling know that you cannot stand to be misrepresented, misconstrued, or unincluded any longer. Write her a letter, compose a song, make a graphic, etc. etc. (you get the picture). Yes, yes, another creativity task here!
All graphics must be uploaded to an image server like Photobucket or Imageshack. I'd prefer not to open attachments, please and thank you!
D) The local what-have-you office is filling up with crazy testimonies around the continent. And for the most part, they're all just a bunch of garble. The problem is, the superior officer is a deranged, paranoid, faery theory nut. And he believes every single statement is true. He wants his workers to arrange them in three boxes labeled "trooping," "solitary," or "household." And unfortunately, they're short-staffed (as in, everyone's on vacation and you're the likely victim for some reason). So you get the awesome job of organizing the next 10 statements. Note: You do not need to give the faery names, but you might have to figure them out to be able to tell if they're trooping, solitary, or household.
Below are the statements. Determine whether each statement is talking about a trooping, solitary, or household faery. (3 points each)

- Confound it! That'd be the laaaast time I go out partying this Christmas night! I must've wasted away six pairs o' boots sinking into those bedarned foul waters they danced over. I wouldna' have so much of a problem if I carried me light. But ye see, I keep forgetting.
- So I come home from a Mabinogion convention. The sun just started to rise and all. I get back to the cottage, and my husband is rushing around with this dazed expression, almost like I caught him cheating on me. Only, there's no one there. Just a lot of water. I almost slipped, actually.
- My husband's droolin' agin. I tells him he canna look n' see n' talk to them maids when they hoard them up plants. I mean, what do them maids got that I don't got anyway? Sure they's be pretty. But they's be tiny. What can ye do with tiny folk, huh?
- It's not really for me to complain, y'know. I really don't like calling folk out when it comes to things in my house. But, y'know, it's getting a bit far. Who smashes up perfectly good booze? Those are expensive, y'know. Cellar rats, maybe?
- I didn't mean to look, really I didn't! but all that racket was getting aggravating. Anyway, that family's cursed. Only a cursed family could have such a nutter ghost floating around moaning all the time. What family? Mac-something-Irish or other, I'm not sure.
- For once I would like it, really like it, if that psychopath would stop trying to ask me if he could use my bathroom. I mean, doesn't the guy have a house and his own plumbing system? I understand the occasional emergency. But this is getting far too frequent.
- They give me the willies, that they do. Don't they give you the willies? I've seen those Alfred Hitchcock movies, 'specially the ones about them nasty creatures pecking-pecking-pecking. They really do give me the willies. See there? Ravens are darkening the sky.
- I'm about to file a lawsuit. Whoever owns that pony has some explaining to do with how my son managed to get on it! My boy keeps telling me that "It's such a pretty horsie, mommy, look at its eyes!" I don't care about the shiny eyes. I want it to stay away from my son!
- What do you mean you've heard of this before? I tell ya, I've seen the darn plesiosaur! What do I get? Nothing? Nothing? Next time I visit a loch, I will show you a picture, that I will. You'll see.
- Can't stop thinking about it. Just, so much...so much of the cherry color smeared all over the stone walls. Only I know that wasn't cherry all over the stone. I had to run out of there before those spirits could get me. Who knows when they'd need to feed again.
