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.
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.
