"A conversation is a
dialogue, not a monologue. That's why there are so few good
conversations: due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet."
In
your sixth blog entry, we're going to mix it up. Aeneas had
conversations with several people in the underworld. For one of them,
report the conversation from the other side---what was the impression of
the OTHER character of the conversation? Were they satisfied or
unsatisfied?
If
necessary, use the suggestions of those who have commented on your
previous blogs (ESPECIALLY ME!) to improve the quality of your
essay. This is a different assignment, so the advice may not work
perfectly.
Looking forward to reading your entries!

Quoted: Groucho Marx
"The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made."
In your fifth blog entry, you should
(1) Express book 5 of the Aeneid from the perspective of Achates.
(2) Have Achates discuss his reaction to Aeneas' handing out the prizes in book 5 and the fairness/unfairness of the Trojan situation in general. How has life been fair or unfair (in their favor or not) to the Trojans lately?
(3) Use the suggestions of those who have commented on your previous blogs (ESPECIALLY ME!) to improve the quality of your essay.
