HW: 2N Imitation (a poem); write a parody of “Internment.” You may use the work you

started in class, but must cut and paste into the Doc I shared with you. The Labours by Ankit Dixit The goddess of marriage out of jealousy, made him insane by treachery, by then it was too late, the blood had been spilled, all was lost and both of his loves were long gone. Later after he woke from his temporary insanity, his hands bloody, a knife lay beside him, his wife and children bleeding, his pray to the gods led him to punishment, serving twelve years for forgiveness, his twelve tasks of the far­fetched. First came the lion of impenetrable fur, then the loathsome Hydra,
Thirdly the golden horned and bronze hoofed Hind, after came the wild boar and the blessing of the wild god, next he cleaned the stables of man­eating horses, following that he drove away a flock of vicious man eating birds, then he had to control the mad Cretan bull of the gods, he fetched the cannibalistic mares of Diomedes, he stole the magic belt of the queen of the Amazons, capturing the red cattle of Geryon was a very extensive journey, his most difficult task was yet to come, he stole the apple of immortality from a hundred headed dragon, during this labour he also held up the weight of the world, and then came the last task, he had to defeat Cerberus the three headed monster. All this he did,

for forgiveness, to make good of his mistakes, forget his sorrows, he met happiness and after the tasks he was named,
Hercules the Legend and defeater of the 12 Labors.

    Timeless classics throughout the ages are known for their plots and concepts, however these classics tend to follow a similar plot. This monomyth is called the Hero’s Journey, where a similar plot is used every time to create a story proven to be successful. A great example of this would be Disney’s Hercules, a story of the demigod Hercules who loses his powers and must redeem himself by becoming a true hero. With godlike strength, he defeats Hades and proves himself a true hero by being compassionate and chivalrous, and showing anyone can be hero regardless of if they have strength. The plot of Hercules follows the three phases of the Hero’s Journey closely.…

    The interaction between fate and free will: A complicated theme, the interaction between fate and free will is present in every book of the Iliad. At times it seems that men have no real freedom. The gods intercede repeatedly, altering events as they please. But Homer was no determinist, and there is a place in the Iliad for human agency. At key points, Homer makes it clear that mortals make important choices, and a few times mortals nearly overturn the dictates of fate itself. Zeus's will determines much of fate, but even he is sometimes subject to a higher necessity that is never personalized in the Iliad.…
