Work Cited For The Iliad

Ancient Greece Paired Book Review

In The Iliad, written by Homer, one of the most memorable moments was when Achillês answered Prince Odysseus Laertiades saying, “I am not going to be persuaded by my lord King Agamemnon, or by anyone else, because it seems one gets no thanks by fighting all day, you get only equal pay. Be a coward or be brave, equal honour you will have. Death is coming if you shirk, death is coming if you work!”(The Iliad pg. 126) This is a memorable moment to me, because first, I love the way he had worded it, it was somewhat catchy. It also tells me how some people of the world work. They may work very hard but get equal pay as others who do not work as hard. That then makes some of the workers think that there is no use

121) She had only wanted to be part of the crew to make up the mistakes she had done, not knowing what she was doing she had accidentally told on the crew about what they had been planning to do, to Captain Jaggery, and had killed two men that were part of the crew. (pg. 92 and 100) She had started to climb the mast by using the ratlines, then realizing that she had made a mistake she picked the ratlines that would go up by sets then noticing she should have gone up the ratlines that when all the way up to the royal yard. (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle pg. 123) Her hands were sweaty and started to lose grip but she prevailed and got to the top, then again noticing that it was going be harder to go down the mast then it was going up. Sometimes she could not feel where the next ratline was so her feet were just dangling. (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle pg. 136) Then as she was going down, her knife had fell into the sea, and as she was reaching for it she had lost grip and her head had went under the deep blue sea. But again she had prevailed and had lifted herself up with great timing. (The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle pg. 137) She had accomplished her

In The Iliad it seemed that it was about blood and gore, and later weeping for their loved ones. Relating to the world when our loved ones are gone we weep as well. But we should keep trying hard and go on with our life. I would not recommend this book to not as mature readers, because of all the blood and gore in the book. The book itself was also confusing because of all the different characters that are somehow related to someone else. But overall I think it did change sort of how I think, because it tells me that we should appreciate and cherish the time with the people around us as long as we can. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle seemed to me that it was a mystery and adventure book. Charlotte gets accused for murdering Mr. Hollybrass, and goes through an adventure to clear her name of being accused for the crime. To relate to the world, many people accuse others, because they either have no respect for them or don't know them at all. I would recommend this book to other readers, because it talks about courage, perseverance, and standing up for yourself. The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle is also not as confusing and hard as The Iliad. The book had as well spoke to me that we need to keep going on and persevering because you will prevail somehow. They were both great
