PLEASE HELP QUICK The assignment for this lesson is to read the summaries of two stories, and respond to the following questions: What is the theme or motif of these two stories? Which elements of the traditional story have been changed in the modern story? How do these changes to the story make the theme or motif seem new and fresh for modern audiences?

Traditional Story:
Arachne, a mortal woman, bragged that she could weave better than everyone, even Athena, the goddess of weaving. Athena overheard her and demanded a test of skill. At their side-by-side looms, each wove gorgeous images. Arachne smiled, realizing that her weaving was more beautiful than Athena's. When Athena saw Arachne's confident smile, she hit Arachne, frightening Arachne into attempting sde. Athena felt a rush of sympathy for Arachne and saved her life by turning her into a spider, whose beautiful webs glisten in the sunlight.

Modern Story:
Arianne was the understudy to one of the biggest stars on Broadway, Athena Carmichael, but she knew that she was a better singer than Athena. She bragged to everyone who would listen that she was the real star. Athena overheard her and challenged her to a sing-off — the winner would be the star, and the loser would leave the production. While Arianne was singing a gorgeous song that highlighted her amazing voice, she noticed that Athena looked worried. Arianne smiled with confidence. Unfortunately, as she smiled, her voice broke and she missed the high note in her big finish. Having lost the sing-off, Arianne left the production and was forced to take a job as a singing waitress.
