10.2.12 Reminders Ninth Grade

Today in class you completed your final essay for The Odyssey.

The topic is below.

Like most epic heroes, Odysseus displays both positive and negative characteristics.  Write a well-developed essay (minimum 3 paragraphs) about Odysseus's character, arguing that he is either admirable or not.  You must take a stand on this issue; you may not attempt to argue that he is both (even if you feel that he is).  After you make a clear statement about his character, identify 3 of Odysseus's character traits to support your argument and fully develop each trait with specific details from the text.

The essay is due at the beginning of class tomorrow.
