Those that enter must be without breath, For they have tasted the intoxication that is death. Beware for there is no way home, Once you’ve entered this infernal dome. 2. The beast that I would choose for the greedy would be a dragon. This dragon would be guarding an enormous horde of treasure. Any that would try to pass he would believe they are trying to steal from him, so he’d either breath flames and incinerate them or eat them because he too is a glutton. 3. My guide would be my father. He has taught me so many lessons in life, why not a couple more? He could lead me like he has the past years of my life. 4. My grandparents would be the ones to send help when I am lost and wandering. They have always looked out for me since my birth and they would continue to. 5. Satan himself would be a perfect judge. He has committed the worst of the sins so he certainly would be able to judge others on theirs. Hell is his domain; he should have power over where the souls go within it. 6. A Black Knight in armor would be the one to ferry the souls to hell. He would have the power to make a drawbridge fall over a moat and allow the souls to pass into hell. This knight would be well armed with weapons for intimidation purposes, and have a deep dark sounding voice. 7. The person that I have chosen to be a model for lust is Marilyn Monroe. She broke the culture barrier for women; eventually becoming a symbol of sensual seduction. She drew men in with her good looks, and has them around her finger before they knew it. 8. The gluttons would be located in a hot and dry environment. With, like I said before, a dragon as their “guardian.” There would be nothing to eat or drink, except for the dragon’s horde. For each person it would appear differently, for one a pile of treasure, another food and wine. The horde would appear to the sinner whatever they had wanted most. 9. The political partisan Napoleon would probably be the replacement of Farinata in the Inferno. Napoleon would try to convince us that what he was doing was for the betterment of his people. The trouble that he caused was the purpose of his political party. He put the benefit of himself and the party above all others. 10. I do not remember her name but, I once knew a girl named Jasmine. She had talked about wanting to die, end all of her suffering. I would choose a girl in this same situation. One that believed that death was the only way out for the things she had found herself into.
