In this story, as it is told from the point of view of Odysseus, we get to experience the most adventurous and exciting side of it: we get to follow his battles against all kinds of creatures, Gods, and innumerable threats that the sea brings upon him.
If the tale was told fromthe point of view of Penelope (his wife), everything would change. The narration would be based around her longing for Odysseus' return<u>, </u>the struggles with her son, and a general emphasis on what was left behind making her suffer.
Hope this helps!
Conclusion summarizes the main point i think
In this chapter, the main focus was that Jonny died which caused Dally to get out of control and get killed by the cops.
On page 131, it states “But I knew that was what he wanted, even as the lot echoed with the cracks of shots, even as I begged silently--- Please, not him... not him and Johnny both ---I knew he would be dead, because Dally Winston wanted to be dead and he always got what he wanted”
This was important because we are showed how Dally is affected by Jonny’s death and how this pushed him to his own death.
