Mythology and folktales have great power to shape how we think of the world. For this activity, you will be comparing a myth or folktale to a modern event influenced by social media. You may use either the Greek myth of the warrior Achilles and his vulnerable heel, or you can choose a folk tale from any cultural tradition. For your paper, write a one paragraph summary of the classic folk tale or myth. Cite your source(s). Then, find a modern news story or fictional story that involves social media that has similarities to the myth. Write a one paragraph summary of the news story or fictional story. Cite your source(s). Now, write a short essay of 200-400 words discussing the differences, similarities, and how the modern story could be seen as a transformation of the folk tale. Make sure your essay has an introductory paragraph, outlining your main point, and a closing paragraph that sums up your argument.
