Zeus, as he was King of the Gods. He was in charge of lightning, and storms and justice. The Olympic games that started in Greece and done every four years was in honor of Zeus.
Also his symbol the eagle can be traced as the reason for being the symbol of the United States.
Hmm... I agree with the dragon choice. Flight.. flame throwing.. eternal life and knowledge.. that's a pretty sweet package. That's my vote for mythical creature.. "Mythical" figure.. Freya goddess of the moon.
Wise warrior queen of the Valkyries she's also the goddess of love and fertility. A fair balance between love and hate.. well that and she can tell the future... teenwitch.com/divine/norse/freya.html.
If I could turn into any monster or mythical figure, I would choose a phoenix, in hopes that I would take this sorry world with me to the pyre, and then everyone would have a chance to start anew upon my rebirth from the ashes.
A dragon because I love dragons and I collect dragon statues. It would be fun to fly and breathe fire!
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
