What are we supposed to answer ?
I believe that the Elgin Marbles should be returned to Athens.
When the marbles were taken, it was not obvious that such an action was legal. The wording of the documents is unclear, and the marbles were not initially accepted by England. However, I believe the action was slightly justified because the Acropolis was in a terrible state, with many statues having been recently destroyed. Taking them away was a way of protecting them.
However, I believe that this justification no longer applies. In the present, Greece is a developed country that, while not rich, has enough resources to take care of its heritage. It is unlikely that the marbles suffer any danger in Greece, and therefore, the marbles can now be housed in the place where they came from.

Dear Mother and Father,
I am writing this letter to inform you that I have allied myself with the rebels to fight against the king. The monarchy is very cruel to the Americans and we have chosen to fight back for our well-deserved rights. I have been involved in the Boston Tea Party and did what I thought was right. Many dangers come when rebelling against the British but the reward is much greater to fight for than to stay as slaves. I can no longer stand the cruelty. I apologize deeply for getting myself into this kind of danger for I know you care very much for me as I do for you. Promise me father that you will take care of my mother even if I am not there for her. The thought of being free from this monarchy motivated me to stand for my rights and encouraged me to fight back. Worry not mother and father, for the Lord will stand with me in every battle that I face. He will protect me for as long as I live for I gave him my life. The British will pay for what they have done to us and we will take our country back. Wish me well and pray for me as I cross a dangerous road.
Sincerely,
Christopher
