Finish reading "Branwen, Daughter of
Llyr"
Then do the following:
1) Connections: Characters – compare the
characters of the two stories, which characters are alike. You can
compare kings, warriors, women.
Answers should be 2-3 sentences for
each character.
2) Compare the conflicts in the two stories in 2-3
sentences.
3) Compare the following themes in
the two stories: The Role of Kings (think about who is a better king and why);
The Role of Women (and yes there are women in “The Death of Conchobar”); The
concept of magic (think about who uses magic in each story and what the purpose
of magic is for); hospitality (yes its there in Conchobhar just not as clear);
paganism vs. Christianity (perhaps more important in Conchobhar—think about the
ending); man alone in a hostile world.
Each comparison needs to be 2-3 sentences long.
4) Compare the endings of the two stories:
how are they alike.
5) List your favorite moment
from each story.
6) Find a photo for each of the characters in Branwen - post these to
your blog.
7) Find a song that fits a theme of Branwen.
