The interpretive question is one-sentence question that is not factual or too general, but highlights some important theme of the literary text and allows different possible intepretations.

P.S. You can read and comment on the interpretive questions of your peers!]]> 2021-03-24 09:23:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/p33sxu7b4dq5vfbb/wish/1346983638 alanoodharb1_1 https://padlet.com/mb2445/p33sxu7b4dq5vfbb/wish/1358547231 How do the relationships affect the power in the fight? Is the power enough in the war or the fighter needs something else to win the war? ]]> 2021-03-26 18:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mb2445/p33sxu7b4dq5vfbb/wish/1358547231 mariamalqam https://padlet.com/mb2445/p33sxu7b4dq5vfbb/wish/1359712441 The Achaeans have been away from their homeland for 9 years. They are most probably homesick and wish to return home to their wives and children safely. This argument can be deduced from various excerpts in the Iliad and the Odyssey (which I will cite when I write the paper).

How does nostalgia and thinking about returning home affects the soldiers and their performance in the battlefield? How is the concept of homecoming in the Iliad different from the Odyssey?
