papers

Option 1: Write two 600-1000ish
word essays on two of the topics given below:
1. Hector and Socrates seem to
be motivated by love of their country. Discuss. Use only the
movie and the Apology
as evidence.
2. Compare
and/or contrast two of the following: the Achilles of the
movie, the Socrates of Plato's Apology, and Alexander the Great (source:
Pomeroy's chapter 11). Note: if you do topic 1,
don't write on Socrates.
3. You work for Westminster
College 100 years in the future when time travel is a reality (but it can't
change the past). Two professors want to
take a group of students to the times and places studied in a
typical Greek Civilization course after the end of the
Peloponnesian War and prior to the Roman conquest of the Greek
world. The "summer" course (i.e. summer in the future, not
necessarily in the past) will last approximately three weeks
(some things in the future are still the same!). You work for
the publications department and are entrusted with providing a
brief write-up of what the trip would entail. Your write up
need to both focus on the positive but also be honest about
the challenges of visiting that time period. The professors
want you to include
something about one of the
following topics:
a. How the Athenian court system works (class
notes),
b. A day watching private court cases (2 court cases from
Kebric's chapter 7--exclude one covered in Paper 5 if you did
them for paper 5)
c. a day watching a public
court case (Plato's Apology--exclude
if you covered this in Paper 5)
something about one of the
following topics
a. visual arts the
Hellenistic Age (Pomeroy, Ch 12)
b. field trip to 2 battles that Alexander fought (Pomeroy Ch
11, include why they are important)
c. daily life of
women (use Theocritus' pdf, Document 12.2 in Pomeroy, 346-347,
and Kebric,
Chapter 7)
d. Greek scientific advances (Kebric, 239-241, 243, 264;
Pomeroy 353-355)
Note:
if you wrote on any of these seven topics in paper 6, you can't
use that topic again; if you wrote on the Apology
in Paper 5, you can't use it here; if you
wrote on certain law court cases in Paper 5, then you can't
use the
same court cases here)
Option 2: Write one 1200-1800 word
essay on one of
the topics below:
1.
Compare and/or contrast all
of the following: the Achilles of the movie, the Socrates of
Plato's Apology,
and Alexander the Great (source: Pomeroy's chapter 11).
2. Hector and
Socrates seem to be motivated by love of their country whereas
Achilles and Alexander the Great by their desire for kleos,
that their names will be remembered forever. Discuss. Use only
the movie, Pomeroy's chapter 11, and the Apology as evidence.
