It really depends on the person and what they think is more important -
A: You could show that the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps' "last hurrah" as it were, as he did not do as well in the 2012 games, BUT the paper is on the 2008 games and not Phelps himself
B: The proof of the use of steroids could be used to make a point that perhaps the security needs to be stepped up, or that in the modern world, sport is becoming too unfair as new drugs are invented because people feel the need to cheat for the cash prizes.
C: This is not really an essay topic, but perhaps you could combine it with B as a controversial point.
D:You could use this point as proof that the bar is being raised every year, and that talent is being found everywhere, better talent, even from poorer countries that you wouldn't expect. You could also tie in Jesse Owens.
Personally, I would use B as drugs is a hot topic around the world, but it is ultimately up to Jacob.
Answer:
Calypso is warning Odysseus against returning home for it will only bring pain and suffering for him. Also, she is indirectly offering him to stay on her island and be made immortal.
Explanation:
Homer's <em>The Odyssey</em> revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Trojan War. The journey back to their home in Ithaca is not a smooth one though, for they encountered numerous obstacles on the way.
In Book V, Zeus had sent Hermes to tell Calypso to release Odysseus from being held captive in her island and let him go home. Though angered that she is not allowed to keep her mortal, she had to obey the orders of the highest and strongest of the gods. Once Hermes had gone, Calypso told Odysseus that he must start preparing for his journey home. But she warned him that <em>"there's heartbreak and shipwreck in store"</em> for him when he gets home. This warning is a sort of invitation to Odysseus to stay with her and be made immortal but Odysseus declined, stating that he'd prefer to be at home with his wife Penelope and grow old.
In ancient Greek society, home and one's own family are the most important things in their lives. No matter what they may have done or gone to, the feeling of being back home amongst one's loved ones compels them to return home, no matter the difficulty of the obstacles. Despite Calypso's warning of pain and suffering on his return home, Odysseus declined the offer to be immortal and enjoy life on the island with Calypso.
