1. Write a question. It can be an interpretive question that you have an opinion on or something about the text that you don't understand. You do not need to write the answer.
I don’t really understand what Agamemnon is saying in the beginning, are they going to stop fighting?
2. What was your opinion of Agamemnon before reading this section? Does your opinion of him change after reading it? Why or why not?
Before reading this section I personally didn't like Agamemnon. I thought he was selfish, egotistical and took advantage of his power. I thought it was so rude and self-centered when Agamemnon couldn't have his own war prize so took someone else’s instead. My opinion really hasn’t changed much, because though he sort of redeemed him self in sending Achilles many great gifts which couldn’t be refused, he is still the same old Agamemnon. “All this- I would extend to him if he will end his anger. Let him submit to me! Only the god of death is so relentless, Death submits to no one-so mortals hate him most of all the gods. Let him bow down to me! I am the greater king, I am the elder-born, I claim- the greater man.”
