 * you can use one text that we have studied. the other two must be new. **


 * motifs, style of storytelling, typical characters, legendary events and acts: follow it to a conclusion about the nature of the people? **

**[|REMINDER: simple outline format]**
** GEORGE ORWELL'S RULES FOR WRITERS (1946) ** 1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech that you are used to seeing in print. 2. Never use a long word where a short one will do. 3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out. 4. Never use the passive where you can use the active. 5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. 6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
