What were the noticeable similarities and differences between your versions? Were there things about the texts, when compared, that you noticed but which could not be addressed by a type and motif approach? What did the tales themselves offer in a way of insight into the specific cultural contexts in which they were collected? How could these cultural particularities be addressed? For the structural and formal analysis, how effective are they for your particular tale? Why do we consider these “the same story”? As you start to summarize your findings, you should be thinking about differences in audience, media, and genre.
