"Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions." ~D.H. Lawrence
(1) Re-tell the story of book 2 from the perspective of Achates as HE witnessed and participated in the downfall of Troy. Since we don't totally know what Achates was doing, you may stick closely to Aeneas' story (as if Achates were with him) or have him experience different parts of the fall of Troy as long as you include the major events of the book-Laocoon and the snakes, the events in the palace, and the eventual gathering outside the city.
(2) Use your post to express thoughts about the individual as part of and separate from a crowd. How does Achates think of himself as an individual in these events, and how as a part of the Trojan people? Which, in the end, is more important to him?
