Position Paper

Emily Ventura, Melina Alvarez
English Position Paper
        We are here today because of Narcissus’ actions. As we all know, he is being charged with the crime of vanity. He has been beautiful since he was a child but because of his looks, he became very conceited and broke many hearts. Many fell in love with him. Unfortunately, Narcissus wanted nothing to do with falling in love.

            I believe Narcissus behaved like this because his beauty caused him to feel better about himself, above others, and made him conceited. If we were to take his beauty away then his pride in appearance would go away as well. He has been beautiful all his life and making him ugly would be my punishment. That would pay back for turning down many people and that way nobody would fall in love with him again.

                This would be a good punishment for Narcissus because he has turned down many people and broken their hearts. Without his beauty, Narcissus wouldn’t have people falling in love with him and these nobody would get hurt. He would learn his lesson and learn to be more humble. He would be more considerate from then on and be a better person.
