Minimum 6 paragraphs (6-7 sentences per paragraph). Write your point of view on the question: Did Lord Elgin save the Parthenon marbles, or deface a monument?
YOU MUST HAVE A POINT OF VIEW ON THIS, YES OR NO. IT’S EITHER: “LORD ELGIN WAS WRONG TO REMOVE THE MARBLES FROM THE PARTHENON, AND I BELIEVE THAT THE PARTHENON MARBLES SHOULD BE RETURNED TO GREECE,” OR “I BELIEVE THAT THE MARBLES SHOULD STAY IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM, AND LORD ELGIN IS A HERO.” Then, support your point of view.
Some of the questions to keep in mind/help you with your argument:
Should the British Museum return the Parthenon pieces to Athens? If so, does this create a precedent that will have all museum objects being returned to their places of origin? If museums represent a “world culture,” shouldn’t we be able to enjoy art from all around the world in all parts of the world (not just Parthenon pieces next to the Parthenon only)? Should the British Museum keep a perfect replica and give back the marbles to Athens? Why can’t Greece have a replica instead of the originals? Can Greece afford to transport the marbles and keep them safe (the country is in a state of bankruptcy)? Why didn’t Greece conserve or take the rest of the Parthenon frieze off of the Parthenon monument until the 1990s, allowing acid rain to mostly destroy what was left? Does this prove that Lord Elgin was correct to preserve the pieces all those years ago?

Specifically, what I want you to do is write a few sentences explaining this process in your own words. I will ask you at least one question about this process on the exam.
To give you a hint, consider how the vases go from an initial state of almost being solid red to the finished product of a contrast of red-black, figure-ground, or vice a versa
