So no paper you've written is worth 30% of your grade. Don't tell someone to "grow some balls" when you fail to sympathize with their situation.

Oh, stop. You're so modest!

How well do you know the Iliad? Do you need outside references? Do you have a thesis yet?
The time necessary to write 4-5 pages should be minimal (assuming MLA format with double-spacing, 1" margins, etc). Most of your time should be finding excerpts from the text (unless you are ridiculously organized and highlight/bookmark things), finding related sources, and coming up with personal examples.

I'm saying when he gets into college it will be normal so he just needs to get used to it. It doesn't take 2 days to write a 4-5 page paper anyway.
Skywing:
Most of the uninformed.org papers I have written (somewhere on the order of 30-60p per article typically) were done in either one or two days, not counting research and editing. Short essays are definitely not a big problem as long as you've got a clear idea of what you're going to write and then sit down and write it out all at once.
