  • Intro and Thesis Statement: What is the most important lesson or item of information learned in this episode? (This could be something Odysseus learns, or it could be something you and other careful readers will learn.)
  • Paragraph or Part 1: What obstacles does Odysseus face in this episode? What challenges must he overcome? What is lost and what is gained in this episode?
  • Paragraph or Part 2: What virtues or heroic characteristics are valued in this episode? How is their value revealed? What is the most important lesson or item of information learned in this episode? What details from the text support your argument?
  • Paragraph or Part 3: How does the style of the passage support your argument? For example, are there epic similes, metaphors, patterns of expression, or curious phrases that illuminate the text and support your interpretation?
  • Paragraph or Part 4: How does this episode enhance the meaning or significance of other parts of The Odyssey? What themes does this episode uncover or enhance? What would be lost from The Odyssey if this episode were removed?
