The line that best explains this is, "I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron: Penelope did this too." which is almost foreshadowing of what the rest of the piece will be about, and that is, human's emotion through history]]> 2018-01-31 15:05:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226596624 mmuller22 https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226596721 I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of my apron:
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.]]> 2018-01-31 15:05:50 UTC https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226596721 blisk https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226597096 The tone of the poem is unusual because it changes a couple times throughout the poem. The beginning and end were sad, highlighted in the text: "I thought, as I wiped my eyes on the corner of the apron ... To the assembled throng that he was much too moved to speak," showing off the emotion of the moments. Then, towards the middle, it is more of a wistful tone, reading "This is an ancient gesture, authentic, antique, In the very best tradition, classic, Greek," reflecting the authors love for Greek Culture and the past.]]> 2018-01-31 15:06:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226597096 mmuller22 https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226597928 In the poem, there is no direct metaphorical language. However, the suggested metaphor is that the housewife is like Penelope when the author states,"Penelope did this too." This is to link the speaker in the poem to Penelope and the  Odyssey.]]> 2018-01-31 15:07:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226597928 mmuller22 https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226599567 A different perspective is seen throughout the poem that is different from the Odyssey's. The perspective is that of an onlooker from the future, looking back on Penelope and taking a good, hard look at her emotions, instead of seeing her as just Odysseus's. Instead, the author focuses on how much Penelope was suffering instead of Odysseus and how his absence affected her.]]> 2018-01-31 15:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226599567 jlomeo https://padlet.com/mmuller22/s932zovlgoju/wish/226600720 An example of very powerful imagery is the phrase, "Your arms get tired, and the back of your neck gets tight."

One solace of this is that the rhymes occur at the end of the sentence.
