Guiding Question 1: The title of this book is stranger at the gates. Do you feel that this is fitting for this chapter? Does Odysseus come home as just a stranger because of his physical appearance or has his journey home made him into a different person?
Appearance has changed. The fact that Penelope does not recognize him tells us that has changed his appearance vastly, however, since we do not know how he was when he left we cannot compare the two.
Guiding Question 2: Put yourself in Odysseus shoes. After being aware from your wife for more than twenty years could you have waited like Odysseus did, taking insults from all the suitors, and not have told your wife you had returned?
With so much time past, I would likely be used to waiting, butt wouldn't wait, would show myself and tell her I had returned.
Guiding Question 3: If resources were unlimited would there be no more war?
This is a hippie question, of course, greed will always be present, we will never all have the same views, from that stems greed, greed stems hate.
Writer’s style is unique, incorporates previous English books, has few questions.
