Mario read two epics. The first epic is the story of a soldier who got lost at sea and sailed for many years before finding his way home. While he was gone, his family struggled financially. Knowing how much their father valued his ancestors’ homeland, his children refused bribes of food and money offered in exchange for the land. They preferred to live humbly and proudly. Upon his return, their father’s joy was boundless, which pleased his sons and daughters. The second epic is the story of a great leader and prince who was banished from his home by an evil cousin. While traveling and living a simple life in the forest, the prince met and married a princess. Despite their royal backgrounds, neither of them minded living safely hidden in the forest. This humility saved their lives on a number of occasions, and their great happiness together did not depend on living in a castle. Mario has compared these two myths. He has determined that characters with determination and loyalty play prominent roles in both myths. What question did Mario ask in order to find this similarity?

D. By asking what characteristics are important to the myth-tellers, Mario is able to determine that they value determination and loyalty. 
The plot of each myth is very different, so it is important to not just look at the plot or setting, because it will be difficult to make connections. By boiling the characters down to *how* they act, rather than *what* they do, Mario can see that their characteristics are very similar. Since these characters are shown as heroes, Mario can determine that those values they share are important in a positive way to the myth-tellers.
