Help!

Hey Guys!

I don't really understand the homework for Monday. Do we gather info about a mythical character or do we get a myth about a mythical character??????????

Dora the Explorer
Dora the Explorer suffered a difficult death on the 3rd of April 2008. Dora’s friend map was stolen by a mysterious bird and he flew up to the tallest mountain with map in his feet. Dora had always relied on her map for directions and had no clue how to get to the tallest mountain and neither did her monkey friend Boots. Dora and Boots wondered around the path that they were on for a little while and did not find the tallest mountain. After the day was done and it was time to go to bed. Dora was so worried because she had to get home to her grandma that night. With all her worries she fainted and died. Boots the monkey said that after this had happened he ran in all directions to find help and magically found Dora’s Grandmother’s home.
Dora had many friends and family including Boots (the monkey), Diego, her grandma, Swiper (her enemy), Map, Backpack, Benny (the cow), Easa (the iguana) and Tico (the squirrel). They all miss her dearly.
Dora’s number one hobby was exploring. She loved to go on adventures to help people. She was very giving and selfless. She will be missed by many people.
Her funeral will be held on the 5th of April 2008 in the at Kits beach from 11-1.
