Choice 1 : Select a female character from the Iliad using the part
we read or if you are conversant, use the entire book as a source. The
character you select for your persuasive essay should be the single
character you believe is essential (or integral) to the story. In other
words, if this character were not in the story, the story could not
exist. Using a persuasive format for your essay, write a paper that
supports that statement. For example if this paper were about The
Odyssey, I might select Anteclea, Odysseus’ mother. My position would
be that: “Without Anteclea,
The Odyssey the story of Odysseus’
travels, could not have taken place.” My paper would then have at least
three reasons for the claim (if I can’t think of 3, I need to pick
another character) and at least one or two reasons that refute the claim
that I then explain away making my claim even more valid. See the www
for help on how to write a persuasive paper.
Choice 2: Select a male character (see above)
To
receive an A on this paper, quotes must be used and correctly cited
using MLA format. You’d need at least three to receive an A or B.
Frankly, it’s only your opinion if you don’t have a quote to back it
up. However, quotes need not come from
The Iliad –think outside the box!
Remember:
- MLA Format (Times New Roman 12 and all that)
- Quotes are required for an A or B (must be cited)
- No words we don’t use
- Paper must be Persuasive format
