Real Life Epic The Odyssey has many things in similar to real life. There are many challenges we must face, and many things will try to stop us from reaching our goal. Sometimes, our goal may seem hopeless, but if we keep going, we can reach it. An example of something in real life corresponding to the Odyssey is how people can try and hold you back from your goal. For example, I wanted to be a snare drum player on the NHS drumline, but my skills were not good enough for me to make it. I tried to join the bass drums after that, and I failed again. So, I ended up in the Pit, which was the place I was meant to be. This can correspond to how Odysseus traveled across many lands, even to where some gods lived, and none of them are right for him.
