1)What Claims about the Odessy does Aristotle make?
The claims that Aristotle makes about the Odessy can practically be considered as meaningful because he explains that "the story of the Odessy can be briefly described as" and then he goes on to explain how its about a man who is away from his family watched by posiedon and left desolate.This shows meaning because Aristotle summarizez the story and then explains it.
2)How did you react to Odysseus’s situation, Telemachus’s situation, and Penelope’s situation? Why might you want to see them resolved in the “episodes” that Aristotle references?
The way I would react to Odysseues's situation would be by feeling bad and or sorrowful for him because he did not deserve to get stuck on an island just becasue calypso had fallen in love with him.I would simalarly react to Telemachus's situation because he lost his dad and suddenly had to take over as king and lastly for Penelopes's situation because she lost her husband even though he was helping a good cause.I would want to see them resolved in further episodes because his family did not deserv that.
3)Consider the information provided in the invocation (the beginning lines of the epic) and the quote from Aristotle. In each text, the story of The Odyssey is captured in brief. In fact, we know how the story ends. So why do we read it? Similarly, why do we listen to stories retold by friends and family even though we know how they end? What does the experience of hearing or reading a story in full do for us?
We continue to read and enjoy these epics even though we know thier begginings,middles and ends because they remind us of how whenever there is a rough patch you will always be able to get through it.Additionally it sparks our creativity and imagination in our brains because we create these scenes within our heads to try and entertain ourselves and sometimes to even further educate ourselves on these topics.There for that is why i believe why people still contuinue to read epics and other stories that we already know about.
