But only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied [...]

The Odyssey focuses more on Odysseus and his struggles and pain he had endured through the journeys he had ventured. I also conveys a different perspective in the poem and the story.]]> 2017-08-30 19:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/achavez22/107xmhx14xf4/wish/183791063 vhernandez1012 https://padlet.com/achavez22/107xmhx14xf4/wish/183791175 "This is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique."

It also explains that Odysseys cried to gain attention while Penelope cried her soul out. 
"He learned it from Penelope…

Penelope did this too.
And more than once: you can't keep weaving all day
And undoing it all through the night;
Your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight;
And along towards morning, when you think it will never be light,
And your husband has been gone, and you don't know where, for years.
Suddenly you burst into tears;
There is simply nothing else to do.

And I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron:
This is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique,
In the very best tradition, classic, Greek;
Ulysses did this too.
But only as a gesture,—a gesture which implied
To the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak.
He learned it from Penelope…
Penelope, who really cried.]]> 2017-08-30 19:13:19 UTC https://padlet.com/achavez22/107xmhx14xf4/wish/183792165 vhernandez1012 https://padlet.com/achavez22/107xmhx14xf4/wish/183792924 The title already gives you the idea that there would be a gesture being made within the poem, which is accurate. Yet, the gesture is beyond what the word gesture means. And ancient doesn't necessarily mean old, in the poem, it means more rare, hasn't been done in a long time.]]> 2017-08-30 19:15:42 UTC https://padlet.com/achavez22/107xmhx14xf4/wish/183792924
