what similarities do myths, legend, tall tale, fables, fairy tales, and folklore have in common? And what are there differences?

Similarities: Most have been passed down from generation to generation. They are typically not real, though many people do believe in each.

Differences: Myths are usually based off of religion, often telling stories about supernatural beings. Legends are typically based off of some historical fact that has had characters put into it and has been embellished after being retold many times. Tall tales are stories with unbelievable elements. Fables are stories that feature animals. Fairy tales normally have some sort of fantastic element, something that would feature magic, imaginary characters and more often than not, a conflict between two sides of good and evil. Folklore is traditional customs, beliefs and stories of a community.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
