Alcinous was kind enough to offer a ship to Odysseus but asked Odysseus to tell of his adventures. To summarize, both stories are similar because they are both being told by the character the story revolves around. Odysseus, in the Odyssey, was returning home from the Trojan War. He was one of the Greek allies and the one who thought of the Trojan horse which cause the Greeks to triumph. On his way home he was stopped multiple times by groups of people, mythological creatures, gods and goddesses.

When the inventor learns this he goes on a rampage and burns numerous Morlocks and saves Weena. The inventor had killed many Morlocks out of anger and fright. He really didn’t have to kill them, but he was angry at the Morlocks. Even after he saved Weena he set an explosion to kill all of the Morlocks. This proves Lincoln’s quote’s interpretation that when someone is angry they’re irrational and not themselves.
By using strategy, the sniper figures out a way to fool the enemy and kills him. Saving his life by taking out another, felt so bad. With guilt, and loss of lust for the war, the sniper became curious of the identity he had killed. The climax of the whole story happens at the very end when the sniper finds out he killed his own brother. Though, the story’s ending is ironic due to the sniper recognizing that the enemy killed was his brother.
Although O’Brien is unclear about whether or not he actually threw a grenade and killed a man outside My Khe, his memory of the man’s corpse is strong and recurring, symbolizing humanity’s guilt over war’s horrible acts. Norman was right on the side of him when he died, after about a couple of years passed by after the war he was in Kiowa home town he started crying because he didn’t do anything to try to save him. In Fallen Angels Richie see’s how almost his whole team died he and Peewee were the only ones that survived, which emphasizes the theme of youth and innocence. In calling the novel Fallen Angels, the author implies that the soldiers’ youth and innocence are more important than any of their other aspects, such as their religion, ethnicity, class, or race. They wanted them to know what war is really like and wants to help them understand what is experienced.
The grenade went off and the man fell on his back, his sandals blown off and he was dead. O’Brien always wondered if he never killed the young man would he be died, was that young man a good guy, did he have a family, and was it the right thing to do by killing him? To me every war story comes out to be the same. Everyone dying, families sad, and the other country is celebrating their victory. In the story “Falling Angels” they fight for their lives, watch others die, and return home.
They part ways and they lead their troops in battle. When the battle gets to be too much, Cassius has his friend Pindarus kill him with the same sword that Cassius used to stab Caesar with. He then dies once he gets stabbed. When Brutus hears of Cassius’ death, he has his friend Strato hold his sword out and he runs into it and kills himself, also. I don’t think that Brutus is a tragic hero at all, because he killed himself, and I don’t think that he did it for a good cause.
