What's the Moral?


HW: Choose a theme from "Prometheus":
                                   1.The story is about the importance of obeying all rules, no matter what.
                                   2. The story supports disobeying rules, if the rules are unfair.

On a filler paper,write a letter, as an Ancient Greek that has been told this story. You are writing to an Ancient Greek who also had been told this story, but believes in the opposite theme as you. Using details from the story, convince the other Greek that you're interpretation is more accurate. For example, if you think the theme is that disobeying rules is okay if the rules are unfair, you might start you letter like this

Dear Cornellius,

I heard that after listening to "Prometheus" you've been going around town spreading the idea that the story is about the importance of obeying all rules no matter what. I strongly disagree with you. Here is why...(support your idea using details from the story)
