Answer by Kacky
Read the Odyssey and Beowulf, then go through your books from childhood or go to the library and look for 2 fairy tales and 2 fables. Read them all and make 2 lists. How are they alike? And how are they different? Then combine your lists into one explanation. Looks like you'd better get started, this is a long assignment.
