Assignment: Journal Entry 2
Instructions
In this module, you were introduced to the Greek Tragedy, and Agamemnon in particular. Reflect on
the assigned learning materials from this module.
Submission and Assessment Guidelines
The entry should be 600-700 words long. Each entry will be graded out of a possible 100 points. A
high-scoring entry will demonstrate that you have read the text; do not, however, spend precious time
summarizing it. We’ve all read the same text, but you can offer something unique by putting forward
your personal opinion. Remember, when it comes to literary analysis, an “opinion” needs to be
advanced and defended through reference to specific details in the text. So, if a passage leaves you
feeling a sense of awe, or a deep discomfort, dig below the surface and find out why. It is not enough
simply to give your initial response without offering analysis and evidence. Have specific passages or
lines that you can reference. It is important to show that you have considered the text as a whole. In
other words, entries that only mention the first few pages are suspect.
In your entry you may want to look at the devices the author uses to develop character or plot; you
may consider the author’s use of imagery, metaphor, allusion or ambiguity. You can also discuss the
philosophical, ethical or spiritual implications of the work. First person—“I” and “me”—point of view is
appropriate, and the response can be free-flowing, and structured as you see fit. You are encouraged
to develop your own voice, and can even bring in outside ideas from the contemporary world, and

show how they relate to the themes in the text. Do remember, of course, that this is an academic
setting and the tone should be appropriate.
