"Nothing is more noble, nothing more venerable than fidelity. Faithfulness and truth are the most sacred excellences and endowments of the human mind."
In your second blog entry, you should
(1) Express book 2 of the Aeneid from the perspective of Achates.
(2) Have Achates discuss the role of faithfulness, trust, and truth in the downfall of Troy. Does he believe that it is good that Priam was so trusting of even the enemy, thus proving his own goodness, or does he believe that more shrewdness is required?
(3) Use the suggestions of those who have commented on your previous blogs (ESPECIALLY ME!) to improve the quality of your essay.

Quoted: Appius Claudius
"Each man is the architect of his own fate."
In your first blog entry, you should
(1) Express the beginning of the Aeneid from the perspective of Achates, the unsung friend of Aeneas.
(2) Have Achates discuss the role of fate in driving Aeneas forward. Does he believe that Aeneas is fated to take this journey? Does he accept his own role in it as fated, or like Appius Claudius, does he believe that a real man makes his own luck?
