DUE TUE 2/27 – Iliad Assignment


1. I didn’t understand the part where achillies and the other people are having a feast??? What’s the purpose of it???

2.My opinion about Agamemnon before reading this section was that I thought he was selfish and very cocky. But know I’m starting to think that he actually cares. Because if he wouldn’t of cared then he wouldn’t of want achillies back so they could win.

3.I haven’t had a chance to read it all but I think that a part where they tried to persuade was when they were offering achillies all these gifts to get him to fight again. They were persuading him to go back…….. ???? (not sure)

DUE THR 2/22 Iliad Reflection - Book One

If you were an ancient Greek, which of the following statements would you agree with? A…….

A) Achilles’ rage is justified and I support his decision not to fight, even if it means the Greeks might lose lots of men, or even the war itself.

I would agree with this statement because for example if I didn’t like someone and they wanted me to do something for them I wouldn’t do it. If I was achillies I might of done it for the warriors and for Greece but not for Agamemnon because he just wants people to remember him and he doesn’t even care who dies or gets hurt……well yeah……that what I think……..

DUE THR 2/22 - Disagreements and Fights ...

Well a big fight that I’ve had was when one on of my best friends got mad at me for doing something bad. Because of this dumb thing that I had done I lost one of my best friends and it hurts so bad. that’s why I regret doing what I did and I promised I wouldn’t do that again. But It doesn’t even matter now cause he doesn’t even talk to me anymore……so yeah that’s my story!!!!!!! :(

Descriptive Writing Assignment, Due 2/7

One of the scene that I thought Brad Bury was really descriptive was when Montag was running away. During that scene Brad use lots of descriptive words.

Some of the descriptive words are:

* Gasping

*Hurtling

*Plunged

I thought these were all good descriptive words and they also made me visualize and understand the scene better.

Descriptive Writing Assignment, Due Tues. 07

3 descriptive words

  • creaky
  • more than 200 words
  • reading word per word

I thought that the phrase "reading word per word" was really descriptive because it made the reader feel like if reading gets me bored.
