Blog # 4: Achievement Hunters as the Ten Types of Tricksters

April 19 2020 Tonight I have taken upon myself the impossible task of categorizing each of the 11 Achievement Hunters into the ten types of Tricksters as laid out in our mythology textbook.

Test Blog: The Grandmother from “A Good Man is Hard to Find”

Throughout the story, the nameless grandmother gave off major trickster vibes.Continue reading “Test Blog: The Grandmother from “A Good Man is Hard to Find””
