The End

So in class on Tuesday we talked about our last three books in Iliad.  I really enjoyed these three books to be honest.  I was curious during the whole book about how was going to end up dieing.  I thought Achilles was the one who was going to die frist because his mother was always reminding him that he was destined to have a short life.  So when Hector was killed, I was surprised.  I thought it was entertaining how Achilles tied Hectors body to the chariot and drug it in the dust.  I felt bad for Hector's wife and son after she heard about her husband's death.  I was proud of Achilles when he gave back Hector's body at the end of the book.  I do wish that we could have read the whole book in order to fully understand what had gone on.  But I understand we wouldn't be able to get through the rest of the books this semester if we read all of the Iliad.  I enjoyed this book more then I thought I would have!
