For the two readings, separately, present a 250 word summary of the reading and an analysis devoted to a close reading of a passage from the reading of no less than 250 words and no more than 500. Pithiness and economy of phrase are of great importance in this assignment. The summaries should be thought of as a preliminary for the analyses to follow—summarize those aspects of the assigned reading that you will analyze. Provide separate headers for Thucydides, Book II and Book III (Source for both: Thucydides. The Peloponnesian War, Robert Strassler, ed. New York: Simon & Schuster, 1996.) as well as headers for the summary and analysis sections. Include word counts at the end of each section. Again, the word counts should be as follows: Thucydides, Book II Summary 250 words, Analysis minimum 250 words/maximum 500 words; Total: minimum 500 words, maximum 750 words. Thucydides, Book III Summary 250 words, Analysis minimum 250 words/maximum 500 words; Total: minimum 500 words, maximum 750 words.
