Answer:

Odysseus's one flaw in "The Odyssey" is his incessant boasting. The Greeks were already well aware of his heroism and feats. There was no need for him to recount the stories of Troy. However, for example, after he blinded Polyphemus during his escape from the Cyclopes' island, he boasted loudly about his many deeds in the Trojan War.

Also, there is a contrast between Odysseus giving credit to the gods, and taking credit for himself. When things are going badly in front of his men, Odysseus conveniently places responsibility on the gods. On the other hand, when things are going favorably, he quickly boasts about the whole account and designates himself as the hero!

The US believed in isolation, if another country attacked the US that is the only way that we would get involved, therefore we tried to stay out of the mass killings and havoc that the Germans and Japanese were creating until we felt that it involved the US. The US did not want to pick a side and have to stay loyal to that side and go to war when that country did because of the alliance. The US finally joined in to help the allied powers to supply them with weapons/military troops. They did not enter the war until December 1941.
