Leah Hardy Kidder English 9 Honors 20 March 2013 A question commonly asked by frustrated parents to their teenagers: why don’t you just grow up and start acting like an adult?

When odyseus disguises himself as a beggar while he is home again shows much intelligence. This is so because his once ruled land with all his people loving him is now filled with enemies.
