9.17.12 Reminder Ninth Grade Honors

Today in class we performed a close reading of "The Judgment of Paris" and you began working on an essay assessment.

Here is the essay assignment.


In “The Judgment of Paris,” Paris awards the golden apple, signifying the highest standards of beauty, to Aphrodite.  What was his motivation?  Given the three choices by the goddesses: power, honor and respect, or the love of the most beautiful person in the world, which would you select?  Explain your answer.  Use evidence from the text to support your opinion about Paris, and to justify your own motivations.
