Due THR 2/15 Iliad Assignment

So Basically all that I really want to know is where is the girl that they are fighting over. There isn't alot of mentioning of her in this story. I kinda want to know whats going on with her while all of this is happening!!!

DUE WED 2/13 The Iliad Assignment (Late okay - Due 2/13)

1. Write a summary bullet for each stanza

• So basicly what they are saying in first paragraph is that Thestor's son is scanning the birds and thinks about the things that are happening are going to happen and did happen.


• So what happens in the second stanza is that Achilles is ordered to explain Apollos anger.


• So Achilles wants to make a deal with Zeus to defend him. There is a man that he will make mad, He is a mighty King and he is way to strong to fight.


• So here Zeus is saying that he will pretect Calchas so that no one will be able to touch him when he will be fighting.


• So here In this stanza The priest and Agamemnon are talking about the girl that had gotten talken away as a war prize. The priest does not want any ranson and there is no price that Agamemnon can say that will interest the priest so that he will give up the girl.
  

2. Write a question for each stanza - be specific - don't just say "I don't get it" say "I don't understood who Calchas is on p. x "

• I do not have any questions for these stanzas.
  

3. Make a prediction when you finsish the three stanzas.

• I think that this war is going to go for along time before Agamemnon will get his women back since the priest will not take any ransom for the girl.

DUE TUE, 2/23 - Iliad notes (Late okay - Due 2/13)

1. Summarize with one or two quick bullet points per stanza - ones that you will be able to understand when you read your notes later.

• So basicly what these stanzas are saying is that there is an old man that is terrified. He had taken orders to go down the shore line to where an old priest was praying for the son of Leto.


• There is also a god who is being shot with arrows in his back and falls to his knee.

2. Ask questions about the reading from one or more stanzas.

• Why was the God (that went on his knee) getting shot by arrows in his back?

3. Predict what will happen next.

• I really have no idea what is going to happen next. This is just the most confusing thing that I have ever read!!!

DUE TUE, 2/12 My Rage - Cause (Late okay – Due 2/3)

It is Monday morning and I am so sick. I ask my dad if I could stay home because I don't feel good. So my dad leaves the house. I think to myself saying " what is there to do now". I go onto the computer and go to Myspace.com. There is no one on and I feel like nobody in the world will talk to me. I start to get mad and want to go back to school. But at the same time I realize that I am t sick to even go to school. So I wait and think and wait and thing some more and come up with a solution. I will play online with my PS2 but then I see that nobody is on because they are all at school.

So I just play my games alone in the house with my dog by my side acting like a cushin for my tired arm. Hours go by and I am still in a rage from not having anyone to play with. I hear my dad coming to the driveway. That was a horrible sound to here, I didn't want him to come home because I am starting to have fun playing my games. Now I am even more mad because I won't be able to play my games.
