Solon, Themistocles, and Pericles
In my opinion, Plutarch favors Solon and Pericles above Themistocles, he still shows respect for all men, just more respect for Solon and Pericles. Plutarch, when speaking about Solon and Pericles is constantly showering praises on them. Plutarch is constantly praising Solon's great wisdom, and knowledge, and Pericles' great leadership. Themistocles, he does praise, but he focuses a lot on his bad behavior and manners as a boy, and on his betrayal as an adult. Plurtar in my opinion faors Solon and Periles.

Think about how you can tighten up this response, Celine, to make it stronger, more precise and compelling. You have some good thoughts, now you need to rigorously ground them in the text. Use direct quotations from the primary sources and then explicate them and carefully relate them to your argument.
