Hm, this is a tough one. If you <em>use</em> this make sure to <u>rearrange</u> some of the sections and add in some of <em>your own words</em>, ok?
Dante Alighieri was a very <em>untraditional</em> writer, for unlike most other writers he sometimes followed the traditions yet he wasn't afraid to deviate and modify the old epic traditions. Most epics tell the adventures of a hero of old who vanquished evil, and to be honest Dante does recount a hero's journey. There is a major difference though between his and traditions though, because he varies this tradition by making himself the <u>theme/hero/subject/ect</u> of the epic called the Divine Comedy.
Epic poets were traditionally pagan and so they would often call on the Muses, known as patron goddesses of the arts, for their inspirations and to help guide their poems. Unlike them Dante was a Christian, and he refused to use the pagan gods <em>"gods"</em> in this epic. Instead he utilizes the Latin poet Virgil whom he calls <em>"my mentor"</em> and Dante's childhood hero Bice Portinari, whom he gave the name Beatrice as guides for the main character throughout the story.
Epics traditionally begin in "media res" which is Latin for "in the middle." Dante follows this tradition, although it's in his own unique way, by beginning the Divine Comedy <em>"halfway through the journey we are living,"</em> or in other words <em>"in the middle of his life"</em>.
Many of the epic poems of this time period state the theme of the poem at the very beginning. Likewise, Dante begins to describes in the first stanzas of his poem his fear and disquiet but then he offers a vision of hope to the readers. He says that <em>"to describe the good discovered there / I here will tell the other things I saw"</em>.

A day to celebrate the life and dream of Martin Luther King, Jr.
A day to reaffirm the American ideals of freedom, justice, and opportunity for all
A day to love not hate, for understanding not anger, for peace not war.
A day for family, to share together, to reach out to relatives and friends, and to mend broken relationships.
A day when community rids itself of the barriers that divide it and comes together as one.
A day when people of all races, religions, classes, and stations in life put aside their differences and join in a spirit of togetherness.
A day for our Nation to pay tribute to Martin Luther King, Jr., who awakened in us the best qualities of the American spirit.
A day for nations of the world to cease all violent actions, seek nonviolent solutions, and demonstrate that peace is not just a dream but a real possibility, if only for one day.
If for only one day, each of us serves as a "drum major for justice and peace," then we bring to life the inspiring vision of freedom of which Martin Luther King, Jr., dreamed.
