Heroic Tales, Wednesday, Period Two
There was a television screen at the front of the classroom, and a bag of popcorn on each desk. Yes, indeed, it was a movie day. Of a sort.
"The Lady Rapunzel mentioned that she enjoyed tales of lady-heroes," Thor began. "So I thought today we could watch a film, and then read the tale that the film was based on."
The tale in question? Mulannot meta'ed since it is- however loosely- based on an actual legendary person.
Once the film concluded, Thor handed out a translation of the original ballad. "As you can see, the modern retelling embellished many of the details, and added many things not present in the original story. Why do you think they may have done so?"
