After reading the poem The Iliad, I think it teaches me lots of things. First, it shows me what the epic is and the characteristic. To my opinion, this is a brilliant poem, and it mentions a lot of god, goddess, people and stories. It's amazing that a poem can content so many things and most importantly, it won't confuse you. Also, you can see every character's personality very clearly from the conversations. Second, I learn a valuable view of life. We should always try to make the right decision, or we will suffer a lot in the rest of our life. For example, Paris, who was the prince of Troy, decided to give the "Golden Apple" to Aphrodite, and then make the Trojan War break out. Achilles who was the best solider among the Greeks, and he refused to fight for Agamemnon. Hence, his friend died for him and he was also killed in the later war. As a result, The Iliad reminds us an important moral that we sometimes forget, "Look before you leap." Last of all, we can see ancient peoples' wisdom, and observe what they did and apply to our daily life. Moreover, we can improve our knowledge and elevate our mind by reading the master piece. Therefore, I highly recommend The Iliad, the remarkable poem in the history of literature.

Hello, this is Vicky. There are some mistakes in the article.
" First, it shows me what the epic is and the characteristic in the poem." I think it is a sentence fragment. The second clause should have more description. (3 points)

Hello, Vicky. Thank you for writing common on my blog, but I have some questions about your common. " First, it shows me what the epic is and the characteristic." I think this sentence is ok, because it tells two things. First, it shows me what the epic is. Second, it shows me the characteristic. Therefore, I think if I write "First, it shows me what the epic is and [its]characteristic." What do you think about?
