I watched helplessly as the king’s ship and crew, along with a dozen others, sailed off into the seemingly-everlasting sea. Slowly, I paced back to the castle, hearing all sorts of whisperings about Penelope and Odysseus from common goers. Already, agony had started to dwell inside my heart and mind, longing for Odysseus’ return. Arriving home, I heard the cry of an infant; our son, yet to be named. After a few days of pondering, I settled upon Telemachus, meaning ‘far-away

The effect of the long stanzas on responders reflects the passing of time and the flooding memories. Memories triggered by the meeting a childhood friend and the realisation that the person can transcend death because of memories, love, family and friendship. Love and friendships enshrined in memory will protect the persona against time and mortality. No change has occurred in the persona’s stubborn and determined nature — “I could walk on water” to “in airy defiance of nature”. However, she now realises that “no hand will save her”, but the poem ends in peace and acceptance, as death will be followed by eternity - “waters that bear me away forever”.

For instance, Odysseus’ goal was definitely not to lose his men; but, he did. That does not mean that he was unsuccessful, even though he failed in achieving all his
The river symbolized Huck and Jim’s freedom. “For Jim, the river will take him to “freedom” in the legal sense; he and Huck are aiming toward the free states. For Huck, the river carries him away from his frustrated life in St. Petersburg” (Adventures[…]). Huck was still willing to travel with Jim when he found out that he had escaped from Watson knowing that if they got caught, it would be inevitable that he would be severely punished by his dad and through legal action. “If Huck and Jim are going to be free, they’ve got to take care of themselves …‘With freedom comes responsibility.’” (Adventures[…]).
They thought there is no reason to search for someone when no one blinded him. This eventually causes Odysseus and his to escape Polyphemus’ cave and make it back to their ship alive. Overall, if Odysseus did not use his cleverness in this situation, he and his men might
Perhaps because he reaches rock bottom with Covey, Douglass suddenly finds the strength to resist. Not long after the moment looking at the white sails on the Chesapeake Bay, he resolves that he would rather die than be beaten again. When he stands up to Covey and says so, he discovers something amazing: he doesn't die. And once he resolves to be free at any cost, things start to change. Defeating Covey doesn't make him free in a legal sense, of course, but standing up for himself makes him mentally
