Aim: How can a concise understanding of both an epic poem and the Iliad enhance our reading of the Odyssey?
Do Now: WHOLE CLASS DISCUSSION
For the following quotation:
"The ordinary man is involved in action, the hero acts. An immense difference."
- Henry Miller
Interpret it in your own words
Then Agree or disagree with the sentiment being expressed and explain why or why not.
Brainstorming
I think that the quote means that a normal person just does normal things and doesn’t do much to deescalate a situation, while a hero would put themselves in front of trouble and do everything they can to stop violence from occurring.
I agree with this statement because most of the time, when there are people fighting, others just seem to watch and do notings, but few would go into the fight to try and stop it, but sometimes the best hero would be a normal person just doing what they can to help.
Class discussion-
The hero takes action to stabilize the situation
An ordinary man does somethings special nothing happens, but if a hero does, they take credit
