It emphasizes how Odysseus feels about his failure to get home.]]> 2018-08-29 15:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/kduggan11/p7ump60a77el/wish/276287737 kduggan11 https://padlet.com/kduggan11/p7ump60a77el/wish/276288512 There are no metaphors in this poem.

The author uses phrases like, "he had got nowhere but older" and "the identical reproaches" to convey this tone.]]> 2018-08-29 15:50:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kduggan11/p7ump60a77el/wish/276288556 kduggan11 https://padlet.com/kduggan11/p7ump60a77el/wish/276288976 The poem "Odysseus" uses alliterations frequently. A few examples are, "Same sea, same dangers" which is also repetition, and "which was the one who wished"  which is alliteration and consonance.]]> 2018-08-29 15:51:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kduggan11/p7ump60a77el/wish/276288976
