For this project, I wanted to touch on natural disasters since it's something that can be felt by anyone in the U.S. and is mostly outside of human control. Additionally, this was inspired by the California fires since I have friends and family out there and those who were hurt by Hurricane Katrina.
I want to display the 3 little pigs stories but with the Big Bad Wolf in the form of different elemental disasters that takes down the pigs homes such as hurricanes, earthquakes, forest fires, and tornados. The pigs homes can symbolize can symbolize two different ways. It can be that no matter how strong a home may be, it can still be lost. Or, it can be that what was a pig's brick home is destroyed and must move into a cheaper and weaker structure.
A hope in the story is that by banding together in tough times and showing love to one another, humanity becomes stronger (1 little pig becomes 3).
Although we can't fully control natural disasters, we are the cause of global warming, which is definitely amplifying them. Since the project requires merging a myth with an issue of the day, I would focus on events related to climate change - fires, hurricanes, etc.
