The Ten Labors

Many people do not think that Hercules punishment fit the crime. What do you think? Did he earn forgiveness? If you were assign a different punishment, what would you have him do?

Hercules! Hercules! (Hero or not?)

Hercules was not exactly the guy I always thought he was. What does this story say about the Ancient Greeks? He killed his entire family, is this guy a hero?? Be sure you explain what you think.

The Myth of Icarus

1. What do you think we are supposed to learn from Icarus?
2. Man, rough break for this kid. Did he deserve what he got?
3. Which character are you in this story? Why?

The Law of the (blog)Land

When we are blogging, there are a few things we need to remember. So, let's set some ground rules. I will make the first few general guidelines. Please comment and add any you think we need to employ (use).

1. Write only using the standard register--What do I mean? SMH. nt tht i dnt luv txting bt t tks me lngr to read t. As this is part of the class, it's ok for it to be conversational (in your voice!) but remember that what you say is public and shouldnt be anything you wouldnt say out loud.
2. Respond as often as you like. If mid-reading you get an idea in response to a post--write it up!
3. Stay on topic! The blog is for us to share about our reading and make connections. Be sure that you are answering the question asked, then you can ask other questions of the group!

Any more ideas? Rules we should stick by?

Good Morning!

Welcome to the Humanities Blog! Let's get started! Many writers use pennames or aliases when they write to ensure their privacy. We, too, will assume pennames. The only catch, I need to know what your pen name is so I can give you proper credit. Please respond to this posting with your student id (found on the sheet of paper) and an alias. Catch #2, the name must have something to do with this class. It can be a hero, god or goddess, a land, a battle. You choose.
