The amazing Iliad at 1-5


Between Paris and Menelaus, who do you consider as a nobler/greater/more honorable man?
· What incidents support your answer?
· Who can be cited as a modern day Paris/Menelaus? Why?


*I believe that Menelaus is a nobler/ greater/ a more honorable man that Paris. He is greater that Paris because when they fought, Menelaus won. He was about to kill Paris but Aphrodite prevented it from happening. 


 In the modern day, there are some people nowadays who are like Menelaus. An example is a wrestler named Randy Orton. He always finish his matches with his hands raised up high. An another example are the people who rally. They won't stop until they finish what they need to finish. In our present time, Menelaus can also be seen as the army we have. They fight with a handful of courage and wisdom. They are not afraid of their opponents even if they're outnumbered.

    The journal lacks substance. You should have cited details from the book to prove your answer.
