What makes a life good

In the instructions it tells us that I have to use two of the readings in that book to address the question. What makes a life good? So I have two stories one is about Achilles and another storie about Dante, inferno: Dark woods. I have notes and recent assignments to help. Basically we have to have our own opinion for this essay. But I have a lot of other homework and this paper is due Friday and I think I wont have time to do.
