Answer:

The theme that Homer is exposing in his "Odyssey", especially in part 1, is the break between the mind (noos) and a final goal (homecoming) when presented with the lotus to eat. Homer also shows that more than external forces, there are also internal issues, like self-indulgence, that will breah the relationship between the mind, or thinking, and its final goal, which in the case of Odysseus and his men, should have been to return home at all costs.

Explanation:

The "Odyssey" is the narration of the adventures that Odysseus and his men have to face in order to return to Ithaca, their home, after having been a part of the Trojan Wars, in the "Iliad". During the first part of their journey, Odysseus and his men have to face a pack of cannibals and other hurtles, but when they finally come to face the Lotus-eaters, peaceful people who offer the men the lotus flowers to eat. It is the men who choose to accept and in doing so their noos (mind), forgets its desire to reach home. It is Odysseus who has to remind them of this final goal.

in 450 words, write a letter to your brother advising him to be patient and tolerant after he got into a fight​
Elodia [21]

Answer:

how are you I heard that you just got involved in a fight in which you were harmed....

people nowadays have become so volatile I have such little tolerance that even a triple is enough to Ignite that temper Street Fights are becoming more and more frequent.

I came to know that when you were returning from school you had a quarrel with another boy because he was teasing you from long time.

just want to tell you that temper doesn't give us any solution. instead of fighting at that time if you would have kept and not fought with the other boy it would have not been led to this situation.

resolve it by other mean told you just lead to fight .

remember that violence never settles disputes but it definitely cause untold damage.

instead of using the strength use yours smartness

As we all know that PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN SWORD so follow it....

Hope you will soon recover

Yours lovingly,

XYZ
