When writting as Athena or Poseidon you had to stick with your side and defend it. To defend Odysseus the best, we had to put ourselves in the position and once we were sucked into the story, I don't think we could see Odysseus as a villian or wrong. This made it a little easier to defend Odysseus as Athena because we did truely believe Odysseus was doing the right thing.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356794 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356799 Writing as Athena made me biased in favor of Odysseus. When writing, I had to specifically think of evidence and reasoning to defend Odysseus, therefore forming my opinion to be in favor of him. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356799 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356801 Writing as Athena definitely made me bias in favor of Odysseus. Since Athena cares deeply about Odysseus and wants to help him succeed, I had to be bias in some of my letters even if it was Odysseus' fault. For example, when Odysseus trespassed into Cyclops' cave and hurt his eye, I should have agreed with Poseidon that Odysseus was wrong and should be punished. Instead, I defended Odysseus and argued that he did not deserve a punishment since he needed to enter the cave and hurt Cyclops in order to make it home to Ithaca. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356801 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356806 Writing as Athena did make me in favor of Odysseus.

It was actually quite hard to write as Athena because she had no reason to love and want to help Odysseus so much other than the fact that she was his patron saint. Poseidon actually had a reason not to like Odysseus so it was a bit hard to disagree with him and see from the other side as how he could be wrong.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356807 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356813 Writing as Athena created biased in favor for Odysseus. After writing the response to Poseidon's letter I started to wanted Odysseus to be successful and complete his journey. After defending him so often in the letters, I always felt to be on his side.

What Odysseus did throughout the story to me seems wrong, just because I am writing in one's perspective does not quite mean I should hang up my morals and values to justify Odysseus's wrong, though the assignment called for that. Like when Odysseus had killed the cattle of Helios, I can't justify that, but like the blinding of the Cyclops it cannot be justified, but Athena may be able to with what she tried accomplishing.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356820 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356823 In my point of view, writing as Athena, made me more biased towards Odysseus.

While reading I was looking for reasons as to why Athena is correct. I never looked at why Poseidon was correct, I only emphasized when he was wrong. If you only look at the bad in one person, you are going to think they are bad. For example, I tried to only find the good in Odysseus. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356850 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356861 Writing as Athena made my opinion on Odysseus biased in favor of him.

For example, when Odysseus blinded and taunted the cyclops, that was unnecessary and ignorant, but it was my job, as Athena, to defend him and his actions.

And to do that I needed to take on the thought of Athena, and her thoughts heavily favored Odysseus which then made me biased to him and in the end favor him. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356877 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356880 Yes, Me writing as Athena per swayed my thinking into wanting Odysseus to get home because when i was writing as Athena i wanted to beat Poseidon i wanted to win the battle so yes i wanted Odysseus to get home ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356880 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356881 I believe that writing as Athena did give a biased opinion on Odysseus.

I said this because in the Odyssey Odysseus was a leader which then caused his men to want to follow him. If Odysseus wasn't a leader than no one would want to follow him. For example when Odysseus went on the long journey his men followed him because of his leadership. I stated this because if Odysseus didn't have that leader quality than the people who went with him wouldn't have gone. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356906 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356910 The most important characteristic of a hero has to be courage. I say this because to become a hero you have to go through struggle and hardship and the only way to keep going is to be courageous. We se this in the Odyssey. When Odysseus fights off the temptations at sea, and the suitors fighting over his wife. To then arrive back at Ithaca and reclaim his power. That is courage, and that is why Odysseus is a hero. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356910 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356913 The most important defining characteristic of a hero is perseverance. This is because in order to be a hero, you need to determination and commitment to do things for the better. If you lack perseverance and determination, you will not get to where you strive to be. We can see Odysseus persevere throughout his journey by constantly fighting and pushing through despite the battles with suitors and cyclops, and the death of his men. He fought for his men, although he could not save them, he still kept his pride and made it back home.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356913 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356914 The most important characterisitc of a hero would have to be determination. If you look back in the book, you can find so many events and spots where Odysseus refuses to give up and keeps going even though his crew is injuryed. If you think about it, you could name any hero from Marvel or DC and you can say they have determination to complete their job or duty as a hero.

Loyalty towards not only towards the ones you care for, but also your work and purpose. Breaking loyalty is walking away when your most needed and as a hero it is important that you're dependable. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356925 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356930 The most important, defining characteristic of a hero is perseverance. As a hero, you must be able to experience terrible hardships and still stay committed to your personal goal. Instead of giving up if something does not go as planned, a hero identifies a different option which will give them a similar result. A hero cannot be stopped by a couple challenges which throw them off the track. They need to continue finding new ways to reach their end goal. This characteristic is very evident in the Odyssey as Odysseus is seen overcoming numerous obstacles as he aims to reach Ithaca. None of the challenges he faced caused him to stop his journey. Instead, they empowered him to discover new ways and still continue on his journey home.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356930 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356935 The most important characteristic when defining a hero would be how brave they are. Being brave shows you have the guts to challenge whatever it is head on, it shows you have enough determination and courage to go through the problems that hero's go through.

It is because they are brave enough to do it. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356935 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536356939 The most important characteristic a Character or hero can have, is being determined.

It sounds a bit cliché but If Odysseus hadn't persevered through all of his obstacles to get home, and just had given up when some of his crew died, or he met a small obstacle, he would have gotten nowhere.

Bravery is the idea that you can try for a better outcome even if it means putting yourself in danger, and even if you may be scared or unlikely to triumph, you still try.

I said this because he showed how he became a hero through out the text by showing determination and courage. I stated this because he showed determination when he was trying to get everyone home which is a heroic thing to do. He also showed courage when he defeated Circe by blinding her. This was an heroic thing to do because it helped get him and his men off the island. That's why Odysseus is considered a hero. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357045 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357048 I would consider Odysseus to be a hero in our modern culture just like he was in Greek times. I say this because he has all the characteristics of a hero, courage, perseverance, and has strong leadership. All these characteristics are valuable assets to have in todays culture, and since Odysseus has these he would be a successful and heroic figure in society today.

He shared all of his own resources with his crew, mourned over losses in his crew, and, even though he may have seemed harsh at times, he always looked out for the safety of his crew.

He struggled to keep keep his men in tact and that lead to the demise of his crew on multiple occasions. His men may have not been killed by him directly, but he definitely took part in it.

His intelligence lead the Greeks to victory in the Trojan war, and he used his brainpower and tactics that lead his team to defeat monsters and obstacles on their way home from war.

A leader is someone who shows strength and power (mentally and physically), yet also influences others for the better. Odysseus is seen to do this time after time throughout the book. He would give certain orders like not to kill any livestock, and he would have his men follow him along the journey. If he was not a leader, he would not have a group of men rallying behind him, supporting him and helping him. He had these men with him throughout his journey.

I say this because in the book the Odyssey all the treacherous journeys and scary things Odysseus did are comparable to that of an army general in modern society.

All of his crewmates died by the time Odysseus reached Ithaca because he was unable to control their actions in many cases. One specific example is on the Island of the Sun. Odysseus had informed his men to not slaughter and feed on the cattle on the island. Even with his directions and warnings, his men disobeyed him and killed the cattle. Since Odysseus failed to be a great leader, him and his men were severely punished by Zeus for their actions. If Odysseus were a great leader, he would have been able to get ahold of his men and prevent them from even touching the cattle in the first place. His men would have feared Odysseus and obeyed his directions too. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357318 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357326 Yes because He lead his team and tried his best to keep them as safe as possible.

They fell in love instantly. Penelope and Odysseus had he stronger, more developed relationship. Penelope turned down all the suitors for 20 years awaiting her husbands return. She loved him so much that she did not even believe that it was truly him when he first came back home.  Odysseus had to prove his identity with personal experiences with his wife, this shows her steadfast desire to be reunited with him and only him. Odysseus did get into affairs with Circe and Calypso, but his mind could not stop him from wanting to go back home. He never gave up during the entire Odysseys regardless of the hardships. He even returned home after his entire crew met their fate just because of his unwavering love for his wife.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357375 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357380 The stronger form of love is most clearly and obviously Penelope and Odysseus. For many years, Odysseus was out at war trying to find his way home. 20 years he went without Penelope and he never gave up. He was so determined to return home to her and his home that he did not care when others tried to stop him and kill him. However, there are always ups and downs in love and there was with Odysseus. He never truly loved Circe or Calypso. Calypso only loved him even though she knew he did not love her back. She wanted to make him immortal so he could be with her forever. Odysseus did not agree. He wanted to return to Penelope. Circe turned all of Odysseus's men into pigs and would not change them back unless Odysseus slept with her. Penelope denied the love of the suiters for 20 years, all for Odysseus. Overall, this shows the true love and determination Odysseus and Penelope had, no where near what Romeo and Juliet had.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357380 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357386 The stronger love relationship goes to Penelope and Odysseus, the first thing would have to be the time differential Romeo and Juliet did wait as nearly as long as Odysseus and Penelope who waited over 20 years and then when Odysseus came back Penelope new exactly how to test him. to make sure it was the real Odysseus ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357386 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357400 Because she still loved him even though he was gone for so long and never remarried or gave into the suiters.

Romeo and Juliet never had much to offer, as their love was a tragedy and gave no direct positive message. They may have loved each other, but they can be seen as weak due to the fact that they died for each other instead of living for each other, even if someone is gone.

Odysseus was gone for many many years and in that time Penelope waited for him and trusted that the would return home. Meanwhile Odysseus spent years fighting monsters, gods, and nymphs with his only intent being to get home to his family.

Even though Romeo and Juliet had a very deep love for each other their love was not really tested instead it was love at first sight.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357418 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357422 The stronger couple is Penelope and Odysseus. I said this because Romeo and Juliet's love was strong but they weren't able to wait a long time which resulted in death. Meanwhile Penelope waited for Odysseus and even when Odysseus told her that he would be leaving again she still was able to wait for him and told him that she would always wait for him. I stated this because it shows that Penelope and Odysseus' love was stronger by telling how they waited for each other after a long time of being apart. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357422 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357429 In my opinion Romeo & Juliet represent a stronger form of love them Penelope and Odysseus. I say this because both Romeo and Juliet never gave up on their love for each other even through their families conflicts. Odysseus also kept a strong love filled connection with Penelope but Penelope did not return the connection and didn't believe it was actually her husband when Odysseus returned. For those reasons is why I chose Romeo and Juliet as the stronger connection of love. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357429 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357435 I think, the couple that represented a stronger form of love is Penelope and Odysseus. They had a stronger form of love compared to Romeo and Juliet, because I feel as if Romeo and Juliet never really developed each other and their love language. They were shown to have a love at first sight, where as Odysseus and Penelope really went through a few trials and put their love to test. Odysseus was gone for about 9 years, leaving Penelope behind and fighting. But when he came back, she was still there waiting for him. This shows the strong commitment within the relationship. In Romeo and Juliet, they let their families dictate their relationship a lot, and they just ended their lives without much effort. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357435 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357440 Penelope and Odysseus showed the better form of love.

Romeo and Juilet had met for just a little bit while Odysseus and Penelope had known each other for a while and Odysseus had to prove to her that it was him at the end of the book.

In the story of Romeo and Juliet, the two young lovers fell in love "at first sight", shortly after they both died and that was the end of their story. The tale of Odysseus and Penelope was move developed and eventful. It illustrated the definition of loyalty, and showed passion and hope in thier relationship.

Penelope and Odysseus showed a stronger love because they were apart for 20 years and still loved each other when they got back. One flaw is that Odysseus had his affairs, but taking it into consideration, he was either basically enchanted into it, or had maybe even given up hope of getting home. The truth is, real love has its flaws, and Odysseus and Penelope showed that in this story. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357465 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357470 I believe that Odysseus and Penelope showed a stronger form of love than Romeo and Juliet. Odysseus and Penelope went through all of these problems and did not see each other for years upon years.

Even when 20 suitors came to Penelope asking for her hand in marriage, she stayed loyal to Odysseus and waited for his return home. Her love for Odysseus was so strong that she did not even recognize Odysseus when he returned to Ithaca at last. Only after Odysseus proved his identity with details of memories they shared together, Penelope believed it was him. Her actions upon Odysseus' return reveals how long she waited to be reunited with him. Her patience while Odysseus was on his journey is incomparable because she did not even know if he was alive. Nothing stopped her from waiting for her husband. Although Odysseus had a few affairs on his journey, he still had Penelope in his mind. He stayed determined his entire journey because of his love and eagerness to return home to his wife. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357481 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357487 Romeo and Juliet had a faster connection but in the end Odysseus and Penelope because she waited 20 years for Odysseus to get back and you have t love someone very much to wait that long.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357487 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357493 I would say that Odysseus and Penelope represent a stronger form of love because, although Romeo and Juliet died because they could not live without each other, Penelope waited 20 years for Odysseus to come back, with suitors coming for her during those long years.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357493 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357498 Romeo and Juliet, as they killed themselves over their love for each other.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357498 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357501 romeo and juliet, they were in love so much that they killed themselves just to be together in another life]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357501 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357511 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357511 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357523 Male immortals and mortals were portrayed in a more dominant roles, while female immortals or mortals were portrayed in a more backup role.

Odysseus got into many physical fights throughout the story, for example stabbing the Cyclops in the eye. While reading this I noticed no woman mortal or immortal were in physical fights with anyone. They were usually the logical and strategical thinker. For example, Circe gave Odysseus advice on how to get past people and Athena was always giving Odysseus plans and potions to help him.

For example, Odysseus blinded a cyclops to escape his doom, he sailed past Scylla while losing 6 men in the process, but still fighting through his journey. He lost all his men to Zeus's storm which damaged the ship, but he still pulled through. Women were portrayed as sidekicks, codependent and submissive.

Odysseus was known to be a strong fighter and known hero, while Penelope was watered down to a "house wife" at times who had to have other men save her from sticky situations.

While the woman were shown as the softer and weaker version. Even Athena the Goddess of war did not have any physical battles, she took a different approach and just disguised Odysseus.

I said this because Odysseus is a male mortal and he was portrayed as a leader and a warrior meanwhile Penelope was a female mortal and she was portrayed as weak for only waiting for love. Another example is how Zeus and Poseidon are portrayed as the strongest gods meanwhile Athena is portrayed as weaker than them.

I say this because Odysseus, Poseidon, and Zeus all took part in an aggressive fight that ended in casualties. While Athena and Circe were portrayed as maybe harming people but never cruel enough to kill them. And that is why I think the pattern of more dominance and aggression vs. less dominance and aggression is the pattern between the genders. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357579 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357589 I noticed that male mortals and immortals were to be portrayed in being dominant and physically stronger and powerful. They were to be shown in battles and fights a lot. We can see this within Odysseus, Zeus, and Poseidon. They were all shown to have numerous battles and powers.
 Female mortals and immortals seem to be portrayed as being mentally stronger and more strategic. We can see this with Athena and Penelope. Athena was never really mentioned in battles and fights, but she makes smart decisions and approaches things with strategy. Penelope was shown to be mentally tough, having to been waiting for Odysseus for so long and still staying with him. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357589 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357592 Male immortals and mortals seemed as if they are the star of the show and had to be the best, the hero, the leader, and does most of the dangerous and courageous tasks. It is portaryed as if the male characters were much more important and superior to the female characters. The female immortals and mortals seemed as if they did the little things and did almost nothing. Cicre and Athena is probably the most important female characters, but they did not get as much attention in the book as the male characters.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357592 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357596 The male immortals and mortals were portrayed as fearless fighters.

Women were either treated as accessories, or useless, and if they were useful, they weren't powerful, but there to provide information, never fighting. One exception is Athena, which is why I look up to her so much. But the men were always shown as powerful fighters and leaders, and more important than the women overall. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357611 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357622 There was no pattern in difference between the female immortals and male immortals, for one to say that it'll be foolish. Athena was depicted as a fearless person willing to do whatever to takes to win. Poseidon was depicted the same as Athena, they both wanted to get their grip on Odysseus and would do quite anything to see it through, though Poseidon wanted to punish him and Athena wanted to guide him through they both were seen as determined to get something done.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357622 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357624 Males were seemed to be fighters while the women were know to be more as lovers and smart while they came up with plans.

Whether it was in battles, wars, or simple situation with other individuals. During Odysseus' journey, many events occurred where he physically fought other individuals. For example, he attacked Cyclops and stabbed his eye when him and his men were inside of the cave. Throughout the entire Odyssey, it never portrayed the female immortals or mortals in this way. Instead, the female immortals and mortals were described as very intelligent and strategical individuals. They interpreted the events that occurred in a different perspective which helped the male immortals and mortals too. For example, Athena constantly aided Odysseus in strategies to return to Ithaca and steer away from the anger of the gods. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357633 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357640 The tale portrayed male immortals to have almost unlimited strength and power, threatening to mortals.

I think his drive and motivation helped him conquer many obstacles such as a cyclops, the sirens, and Poseidon's wrath. He was a strategical thinker throughout the whole story and his problem solving abilities is what allowed him to return to Ithaca alive. Penelope was also a huge factor because she provided the drive and motivation. He wanted to get home to her and possibly wouldn't have worked as hard without knowing she would be there when he returned. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357692 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357694 I would say that Athena was responsible for the outcome of the story.

He lost men all along his journey, but he fought through it. He got trapped in a cave by a cyclops. But he fought through it. He had to willingly sacrifice 6 of his men to Scylla.

Since Odysseus was our protagonist, it is only natural for him to be painted out in this manor, as that is the role a protagonist plays.

However, without the help of Athena, and even Zeus, none of Odysseus' efforts would be meaningful because he would have lost in the long run.

Without Athena's guide during Odysseus' journey, Odysseus would have been severely punished by the individuals he harmed. Near the end of the Odyssey, Odysseus finally made it to his homeland, Ithaca. Once he woke up he was unaware of where he was and the threats that many individuals had against him. Only with Athena's help, he was able to realize his homeland, hide all his gifted treasures, and be disguised into an old poor man.

This is because you start to feel for the characters, and you question yourself on different things. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357875 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357878 The Odyssey reflects Aristotle's stance more because the text is mainly based on the overall conflict in the plot. In the text, Odysseus seems to only want to return to Ithaca because he has been on his journey for way too long, but in reality he is trying to return to his wife and island too. The way that the text was written deeply effected the emotions that the reader felt as they related to the hardships and victories Odysseus experienced. The constant failures, hardships, and deaths that Odysseus faced caused the reader feels great pity and sorrow for him. The reader gets to understand Odysseus' journey from the start to end, so when he returns to Ithaca at last, the reader is very emotional. An abundance of relief and joy is felt as the reader knows that Odysseus safely returned home.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357878 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357882 I believe the Odyssey represents more of the Plato's idea because I think the Odyssey focused more on feelings and not so much for justifying reasoning. Throughout the Odyssey feelings payed a major role in events and characters expressed many feelings for one another which really shaped this story.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357882 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357889 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357889 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357891 I think there are a lot of lessons to be learned throughout the story. For example, one small one could be that you need to think your actions through, like when Odysseus could have gotten out of being caught for blinding the cyclops, but out of pride he said his name and faced the consequences. A larger lesson can be learned towards the end of the story when Odysseus makes it home. Lots of people were doubtful about his return and didn't even believe it was him. Not giving up hope is such an important lesson because you never know what could happen and Penelope showed that by holding out hope because eventually he did return home and he may not have been able to reunite with her if she had given up and married another man she didn't love. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357891 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357895 Stories are filled with lessons to be learned and the Odyssey is not any different. Odysseus went through this journey fighting all sorts of things out of our imagination but he persevered through it all. He showed that even with all of the challenges he had to go through, perseverance and some trust in others got him through the troubleshoots and to his goal.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357895 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357897 There were a plethora of lessons to be learned from throughout the story. Specifically from Odysseus, through his story we can learn that setting yourself up to a specific goal (Him wanting to go home) can be challenged by many obstacles (trying to deal from Helios to Circe's island) but through motivation and grit and can be achieved (him being able to survive the wrath of Poseidon). Yes, throughout this, this specific thing added an entertaining aspect to it but through it our Odysseus proved time and time again with help from Athena that did lesson and specific agenda is possible.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357897 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357900 I do not believe it was just to entertain. The story was about Odysseus's trip home and anyone could tell how much he struggled against the gods (really only Poseidon) but he pushed through and made it home. It sounds dumb to say that this story can tell you to never give up but that is what it is trying to achieve. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357900 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357905 I think a lot of things can be learn but one thing I would say is always strive for your goals and there will be hard time but you have to overcome them. Because Odysseus went through tough fights and lost many friends but still overcame the obstacles and strived for his goal.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357905 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357909 I believe the story was not to just entertain.

It was for more than entertaining.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357909 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357917 I think that The Odyssey does teach us to be patient and willing to be open to new ideas because Odysseus waited 20 years before he could make it back home. Throughout his journey, he needed to think of new ideas that could help him such as the spear that blinded the Cyclops's eye, and sometimes he just needed to wait until the gods made their move and go alone with the opportunities they had created for him.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357917 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357921 I think that that the odyssey was mostly just to tell the story of the epic hero Odysseus and his journeys on the sea for twenty years.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357921 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357927 The theme in this story is temptation. Odysseus was able to decline temptations because of his motive to get home. The sirens tempted him and at many times he was probably tempted to give up. It is important to learn from this story to not give into temptations and to see the bigger picture. For Odysseus it was home and Penelope. The whole story he successfully overcame obstacles because of passion and drive. This is a good thing to have and lesson to learn. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357927 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357959 In the story, Odysseus was given many challenges.

But, I feel there was not really that one super big and obvious theme that the reader can easily recognize and benefit from. Unless, you were to say something super cliché like determination. Based off this, I would say it is mostly written for entertainment.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357972 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357980 I think that while this story was entertaining, it does teach a great lesson. That lesson is to never let obstacles get in the way of the prize. Odysseus was gone for 20 heart-wrenching years. He fought and won the Trojan war, he blinded a cyclops, he made enemies with a god, he lost all his men. All of these are indicative of certain death. But one thing remained strong: he never gave in. Odysseus finishing his Odyssey teaches us that it is not the hardship that we face that defines who we are, but it is what we do when we face hardship that defines who we are.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357980 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357986 I think the lesson of this story is to always keep your eyes on the prize.

In The Odyssey, most of Odysseus and his crew's faults came from the fact that the became too cocky and let their guard down, landing them in many sticking situations. It is smart to always watch your back, because there is always the chance of your downfall coming.]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357991 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357997 I think that the odyssey did give us readers a common theme and it was to say motivated on your goals no matter how long they take or what you have to do in order to accomplish them ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536357997 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536358001 The Odyssey is filled with meaningful lessons, such as respect, gloating, and helping others in need, but determination is its main focus.

The main lesson which was portrayed throughout the entire text was the perseverance always leads to success in one's goals. Even though Odysseus fought in the Trojan war, went on a devastatingly long journey away from home, experienced great battles with enemies, and lost every single one of his men, he survived until he reached his final destination. He did not only survive physically, but emotionally too. After experiencing such extreme hardships, he could have given up and stayed out at sea. Instead, Odysseus' perseverance overcame his doubt. At the end of the Odyssey, the reader can really understand that the hardships one faces does not define a person's strength, but it is the journey of perseverance that defines their true strength. ]]> 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536358017 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536358024 2021-05-18 16:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536358024 sarathompson19 https://padlet.com/sarathompson19/q3y58t9dejlntn66/wish/1536358027 Stories have power because based on the writting it can make you feel certain feelings and moods.

Readers can usually find some relatability in these main characters an it can inspire them to do something big or small. Stories can be educational while also being entertaining.
