Did Wargrave Get It Right?
In his confessional letter, Wargrave claims that he killed off the guests in the order of their crime (from least to worst -- with the exception of Marston who was incapable of feeling guilt). Do you think his calculations were correct? Or, would you have arranged the murders in a different order? Explain and support your response.
Most Romantic Myth - or Worst Romantic Ending EVER!
I realize that Edith Hamilton's Mythology is laborious reading. Let's focus on the love stories: those that succeed and those that, well, end in absolute disaster.
Please share your favorite romantic tale or vent about one that was just too miserable to have ever been created.
Don't forget to think about the purpose of the myth: is there an element of nature that has been immortalized by the lovers (such as a flower, tree, etc.)?
The Mythology Exams: A Blog-Based Study Group
Participate in a study group! Here, you can ask or answer questions....and even try to get into the warped mind of your insane instructor. What questions do you think will appear on the tests? Can you guess what the essay prompts might be?
Prepare for the review game by posting some questions for your classmates to answer!

Random Musings
Questions about an assignment? An unfinished debate from class? Something you wish to share? This is the place! We can also use this site as a way for you to ask and to respond to questions that you might be having with the homework or readings ( but I think that I might need a separate post for grammar!).
As always, this does count for participation credit (B-squares).
