Same sea, same dangers waiting for him
As though he had got nowhere but older.
Behind him on the receding shore
The identical reproaches, and somewhere
Out before him, the unravelling patience
He was wedded to.  There were the islands
Each with its woman and twining welcome
To be navigated, and one to call “home.”
The knowledge of all that he betrayed
Grew till it was the same whether he stayed
Or went.  Therefore he went.  And what wonder
If sometimes he could not remember
Which was the one who wished on his departure
Perils that he could never sail through,
And which, improbable, remote, and true,
Was the one he kept sailing home to?]]> 2017-08-30 14:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183700521 mdelia1 https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183700650 The last three lines of the poem convey a metaphor. The poem is comparing Odysseus's journey home to the journey of life. The perils in his journey home can be compared to how in life, the obstacles are never ending. Odysseus's life is the essence of showing that nobody's life is perfect.]]> 2017-08-30 14:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183700650 mdelia1 https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183700775 As stated, "There were the islands. Each with its woman and twining welcome"(W.S. Merwin 7). Merwin illustrates the scenery surrounding Odysseus.]]> 2017-08-30 14:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183700775 rkirane https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183702413 The viewpoints between the poem ¨ Odyssey ¨ and  The book The Odyssey are similar. They have the same feeling of trying to find home and Odysseus is his  home. But the main character is Odysseus where in the Odyssey the main character is Telemachus. ]]> 2017-08-30 15:02:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rkirane/l61mqoimir9m/wish/183702413
