I Will Not Bow

into battle. Once Odysseus was convinced they were loyal he explained the plan, “‘Let’s slip back in––singly, not in a pack. I’ll go first. You’re next. Here’s our signal. When all the rest in there, our lordly friends, are dead against my having the bow and quiver, good Eumaeus, carry the weapon down the hall and put it in my hands’” (book 21, 257-262). Homer made it clear that Odysseus has been and…

The picture I chose reminds me of a guy from the Odyssey. This essay is about how- the picture at the bottom of the page relates to the Odyssey. They are both alike, both different but only one represents a hero. I am going to write about how they are alike, how they are different, and who is a better hero. The Odyssey is about god's. This picture reminded me of a god, such as Odysseus. The dude seems strong like a god. There is a Centaur in the background and that reminds me of Greek gods.…

as they seem, Kingdom of Heaven is just one example of many. I can think of at least 3 movies that do not go along with the true events they are based off of. So during the movie Kingdom of Heaven there were several inaccuracies that do not quite fit in with the facts of history. There was the appearance of the long bow, the inaccuracy of the knighting ceremony, and the non-chivalry acts committed during the film. During my analysis, I will be comparing and contrasting these examples from the…

would marry. Penelope decided that whoever could string Odysseus’ bow would be the suitor that she would marry. When Eumaeus becomes upset when he is ordered to bring out the bow of Odysseus he states, “But leave that bow right here—/ our crucial test that makes or breaks us all./ No easy game, I wager to string his polished bow./ Not a soul in the crowd can match Odysseus,” which reveals that not just anyone can string Odysseus’ bow and that this would show great strength (Fgales, 427). It is…

Hector, Paris’s brother, is forcing Paris to go to battle. Hector arrives at Paris’s house and he is just getting ready with his war armour and bow. In the book it says “ There in the high chamber, he found his brother fussing over his armour and playing with his great bow, like a girl making ready for a party, instead of arming himself for the war-host”(Sutcliff 36). As Hector is commanding him to go to battle Paris is not listening to Hector very much so…

Odysseus if he ever returns to Ithaca. Once Odysseus returns home, he remains in disguise until he is certain it is safe for him to reveal his identity.

After he wins the contest, he reveals his true identity to everyone. He and Telemachus plot to slaughter the suitors as well as the maids who fornicated with them. We…

Katniss learn how to hunt and gather. Also, with this knowledge that her father had taught her, Katniss puts it to use in trying to keep her family alive after he dies, advancing the theme of survival to her everyday life. In addition, in the quote; "I also sold at the back doors of the wealthier clients in town, trying to remember what my father told me and learning a few new tricks is well," shows how much her father taught her (Pg. 52). She had learned how to barter from him and get items…

school… my first C… my boyfriend is mad at me… and I dropped my phone in the toilet… way to go… worst day ever. The bell rang for fifth period to end, and the first thing I did was turn on my phone to see what the damage was. Ugh, lines, everywhere. What had I done to deserve this? Was it because I didn’t study hard enough? I don’t understand... why me? Mom wasn’t supposed to be home until 8:00 tonight. She had to work overtime. Dad died when I was 11 in a car accident. I’m now 16 and an only…

claiming to be her husband; the only ones to have ever laid eyes on their bed are her and Odysseus. When Odysseus gives her details on how the bed is built from the trunk of an olive tree, she responds “Forgive me, don’t be angry. I could not /welcome you with love on sight! I armed myself /long ago against frauds of men, /impostors who might come-and all those many /whose underhanded ways bring evil on! (Book 23, Lines 63-67)” She tells Odysseus how she has used her intelligence to remained…
