Illiad Assignment

1) Do you believe Achilles will turn his back on Agamemnon even after all the gifts that Agamemnon is giving him.

2) My opinion on Agamemnon before reading this would be that he is a coward and he was very inconsiderate of all off his soldiers. He would never go with them to battle. He would just sit back and watch all of his men die in battle which is really messed up. Even after all of what he did for Achilles in this section it still doesn’t change my mind of him being an inconsiderate leader. The only reason that he is doing this for Achilles is because he knows that without Achilles in this war the Greeks will not have a fighting chance against the Trojans. He is just trying to persuade Achilles to fight with him again. All Agamemnon could provide Achilles is women and material things.

3) Pg. 255 Line 137
A) Agamemnon says “Why look, that man is worth an entire army the fighter Zeus holds dear with all of his heart”. This applies to reason because it is obvious that with Zeus the Trojans would easily kill all of the Greeks. The reason all of that this relates to reason is because Zeus counts as a whole army so with that in mind it is easy to tell that the Trojans will easily win.

- He uses his father’s life past to persuade him to go to war

Illiad Reflection

I agree with the second one of the statements . The reason for this is that Achilles has been mistreated by his own leader Agamemnon which I think is wrong. One thing that think Achilles should have never done was ask for another war prize after he gave the girl back. I think that he did the right thing by asking Agamemnon for another war prize even if he is his leader. I think that Achilles did the right thing by sitting out this war. If I was a Greek I would support Achilles idea of doing what he has done.

Disagreement and Conflict

Me and my brother were arguing about if we wanted to eat at Mcdonalds or if we should eat at Panda express. He said that he wanted to start eating healthy so he punched me in the shoulder really hard. This was one oft all the major conflicts that I had while doing this. After that he ended up calling my mom and I ended up get hit by my mom when I didn't do anything at all to my brother. This was one of the major conflicts that I had when I went to get food. This was one of the many times that I have been hit for not doing anything at all

My Rage-Cause

There has been many times where I have been mad. One of the times I will never forget was when I was at a soccer game and I was playing playing defense. This player was coming at m and I got the ball from him. I was just to simply get the ball and kick it out of our side. But instead I decided to try to take it all the way to the other goal keeper and score. But they ended up taking the ball away from me and they scored on our goaly. I was very pissed at myself for ever doing that.

"2/6 - Hesiod Writing Assignment"

I think that this ancient myth tells people about how there was many gods in the ancient greek myths such as Zeus. It also tells me that there was a god for almost anything becasue there was a god for war and many other things which is interesting. They all valued children that they had and the all also valued many other things. Each one of them had specially powers and they all had a job such as one of them had to keep the sky from falling. One way that this story would develop would be by someone telling stories and he wouldend up passing on the dtory and then it would become a myth. Another thing that could create a myth would be by someone spreading a certain thought about an idea or something like that.

Something I Dread Words

I like the way that I described the bully's hair " his hair was like a jungle" it is simple and you can easily imagine what his hair is like which is pretty messed up.

The second descriptive quote that I like from my writing is when I say "it feel`s like baby food which I hate" it is very descriptive because every one should know what baby food feels like.

My final quote that I like from my writing is when I say that "eat as fast as the Flash runs" which describes how fast I can eat when my cereal gets soggy.

"Stubborn" is a word that can pretty much describe anyone these days bacause of how people are these days

"unconcious regeneration" and the reason that I liked from this specific quote was because he described getting energy back when you are asleep in two simple words which was really good.

The quote that I enjoyed from Laura Mitchelle:
I liked the way that you used the word "thrust" because I do the same thing when I go into the water because I can't swim so I have to thrust them wildly
