Write on one of the following topics: currently unavailable; check back later

• Katniss & Jezewski: Jezewski presents a list of 18 traits that are typical for female heroes (see Maurizio, pp 525–526). Based solely on the movie The Hunger Games, examine a group of these 18 traits which fit Katniss or examine a group that do not fit her (i.e. one or the other, but not both). In your conclusion consider what your findings tells us.


• Medea & Jezewski: Jezewski presents a list of 18 traits that are typical for female heroes (see Maurizio, pp 525–526). Based solely on the passage from Euripides on pp 511–515 in Maurizio, examine a group of these 18 traits which fit Medea or examine a group that do not fit her (i.e. one or the other, but not both). In your conclusion consider what your findings tells us.


• Note: "group"—I'd recommend using 4-6 traits. You could use more if you wish, but don't use less than 4.
