Writing: Hercules

I finished the first paper! It took a while to figure out what I wanted to write about. After I finished reading I had a few major themes I noted and wanted to talk about. The two books framed his story similarly, the labors were the same and so was his life before and after the labors. I decided not to compare the two books because there was nothing to drastic to compare. I decided to write a short summary for my first paragraph explaining what the major events in Hercules life were and what happened. The second paragraph I focused on Hercules's work ethic and how the myth portrayed his labors. In the third I focused on the difference of metal and physical strength and how they were portrayed in the myth. I went through quite a few different drafts and I feel my final work is concise which is something I have been working on and has no grammar issues (that I can find). Overall I think my writing is improving and I like my work.

  1. Hey, glad to hear you finished your first paper! You mentioned in class that you were going to watch the Disney Hercules movie to get an idea of how the voice actors tell the story. Though you may not want to compare the two books to each other , it might be interesting to compare them to the movie. I'm sure most of the movie will be different, but it could be cool to see what aspects of the story made it to the final cut of the film.
