Odysseus is trying to guilt trip Eumaeus into letting him stay with him longer.
<h3>This is my poem:</h3>
there was a child
his name was willow
his dream was a little wild
for he wanted to become a pillow
unfortunately he was born a person
this made him feel very blue
over time, the desire will just worsen
but maybe one day his dream will come true
. . .
so, answering your question now! the child in my poem wanted to be a <u>pillow.</u>
A really good way to find comparisons if you can't think of any is to google the summary of the story and character descriptions from sparknotes, or where ever. That usually helps me when writing c/c essays.
