Paper Topic 2: Compare the heroic values of Achilles with those of Aeneas.

Guidelines
1. Values is the key word here. How do Achilles and Aeneas view life and what gives their lives meaning? We are not interested in hearing that both Achilles and Aeneas have divine parents. We are interested in the heroic codes of each of the cultures in their respective times. Societys ideas of a hero change as new influences, new perceptions, and even new technologies develop.
2. This topic is a comparison and requires you to use specific references to actions of each of the heroes to illustrate your points.
3. Reread the section on the Homeric hero in the Iliad lesson in order to better understand Achilles in the warrior code context.

How will you contribute to the mission of the Nurse Corps Scholarship Program in providing care to underserved communities and how does this align with your commitment to pursue a career in nursing?

We recommend that you use a standard word processing tool (e.g., Microsoft Word, Word Perfect) to respond to the questions.
