Write
on one of the topics below:
1) Paying very close
attention to the text, what does the passage from Homer's Iliad that deals with
Hector & Andromache tell us about Greek society (Powell,
Ch 20, 7th edit, pp 563-5).
2)
You have come into
possession of a time portal that will allow you to visit
the past (without affecting the time continuum), but it
has some restrictions. You must submit your request in
writing to the portal and demonstrate that you have good
cause to visit (or it may refuse your request). Based
solely on Powell's chapter 19 (7th edit), determine and
demonstrate which individual you would most be interested
in visiting the past as -- Jason or Medea. "As" this
person, you get to experience everything this person
experiences and can sense what goes on in the mind of this
person as well. However, you are an observer only--you can
"communicate" with this person or change what this person
does or says. Remember, the portal is very particular
about whom it lets go through and requires a request that
contains good argumentation and good supporting fact,
especially from the primary material provided in Powell's
chapter.
