ReplyDelete1. Telemachus is becoming of age, we can tell because he is becoming more responsible and he is beginning to take control of the situations in his household.
2. Penelope is tricking the suitors into giving her gifts
Odyysseus's self control shows personal growth by teaching him not to overreact and freak out because when he does it usually harms him. An example of this is when Antinous threw a stool at him. Instead of lashing out he thought first,and realized it was not worth exposing himself, something that he might not have done in the beginning of the book. Odyysseus's dog, Argos, recognized him by sense of smell. Emma Carter, Grace Cushman, Sydney San, Colby Wagner, Stacia Easler.
