As you read, notice the four sections boxed off in red. Summarize the story of Paul Bunyan. Remember to only including the most important events in the story (who, what, when, where, why, how). Be sure to focus on the setting, different conflicts, and overall theme of the text. Your response MUST be 8-10 sentences with appropriate use of language conventions (spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar). This will be entered as a classwork grade.

Paul Bunyan is a giant lumberjack in American and Canadian folklore. His exploits revolve around the tall tales of his superhuman labors, and he is customarily accompanied by Babe the Blue Ox. It has been the usual pattern that folk heroes have evolved over the course of centuries, slowly developing their unique characters and accumulating their colorful histories through the oral traditions passed on by generations of storytellers. In a country as young as America, however, this pattern could not be played out, and folk figures scarcely had time to be conceived in the popular imagination before they were overtaken by a rapidly moving history. For this reason, out of a gallery of local heroes which included Mike Fink, Sam Patch, Pecos Bill, and Cap’n Stormalong, only Paul Bunyan has carried his fame into the twentieth century in a considerable body of popular fiction and in some serious literature as well.The latter, a study written by K. Bernice Stewart and Homer A. Watt, is one of the few remaining authentic sources of the Bunyan legends, since the rash of best-selling lumberjack stories that followed altered the original tales in many essentials to increase their appeal to a widespread reading audience. These popular adaptations, which flourished from the 1920’s on, not only expunged the most vivid logging language and local-color detail in favor of a more business-oriented vocabulary but also modified Paul’s character to conform to modern standards of cleverness and success.
