Don’t worry about the Bonner readings
Dr. Keil
Dear Class,
My apologies for not getting this up earlier. Please try to read this Plutarchian life:
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Plutarch/Lives/Cicero*.html
Your imitation of his need only be two to three pages, although feel free to go longer if you wish. The characteristic qualities of his biographies are that he focused on the virtuous qualities of a person’s character, usually for the sake of providing a model for readers. Usually they are replete with illustrative anecdotes.
Since I am getting this up so late, please don’t worry about the other readings for this week.
