Please help! Take a moment to think about the story of "Proserpine." Given your level of understanding of the text, why do you think this story was an important part of both Greek and Roman mythology? Do you think this story could be adapted for our current culture? Using what you have learned of schema and inferring, develop an overview of how you would create a contemporary version of "Proserpine."

Compose a paragraph describing how you would modernize "Proserpine." Where would the story take place? Would the characters change or remain the same? Would the myth still be used to explain the changing of the seasons? Or would you use the story to explain some other concept or explore a different theme?
