What portion of the Hero's Journey is Ulysses going through in the excerpt from "The

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Ten years have passed since the fall of Troy, and the Greek hero Odysseus still has not returned to his kingdom in Ithaca. A large and rowdy mob of suitors who have overrun Odysseus’s palace and pillaged his land continue to court his wife, Penelope. She has remained faithful to Odysseus. Prince Telemachus, Odysseus’s son, wants desperately to throw them out but does not have the confidence or experience to fight them. One of the suitors, Antinous, plans to assassinate the young prince, eliminating the only opposition to their dominion over the palace.

Unknown to the suitors, Odysseus is still alive. The beautiful nymph Calypso, possessed by love for him, has imprisoned him on her island, Ogygia. He longs to return to his wife and son, but he has no ship or crew to help him escape. While the gods and goddesses of Mount Olympus debate Odysseus’s future, Athena, Odysseus’s strongest supporter among the gods, resolves to help Telemachus. Disguised as a friend of the prince’s grandfather, Laertes, she convinces the prince to call a meeting of the assembly at which he reproaches the suitors. Athena also prepares him for a great journey to Pylos and Sparta, where the kings Nestor and Menelaus, Odysseus’s companions during the war, inform him that Odysseus is alive and trapped on Calypso’s island. Telemachus makes plans to return home, while, back in Ithaca, Antinous and the other suitors prepare an ambush to kill him when he reaches port.

On Mount Olympus, Zeus sends Hermes to rescue Odysseus from Calypso. Hermes persuades Calypso to let Odysseus build a ship and leave. The homesick hero sets sail, but when Poseidon, god of the sea, finds him sailing home, he sends a storm to wreck Odysseus’s ship. Poseidon has harbored a bitter grudge against Odysseus since the hero blinded his son, the Cyclops Polyphemus, earlier in his travels. Athena intervenes to save Odysseus from Poseidon’s wrath, and the beleaguered king lands at Scheria, home of the Phaeacians. Nausicaa, the Phaeacian princess, shows him to the royal palace, and Odysseus receives a warm welcome from the king and queen. When he identifies himself as Odysseus, his hosts, who have heard of his exploits at Troy, are stunned. They promise to give him safe passage to Ithaca, but first they beg to hear the story of his adventures.

Answer:

The main conflict is the choice of whether Yasi should come clean to her Grandma about her sexuality and Hannah or not.

Considering the sensitivity of the situation, it would seem like the thing to do is be secretive about it. But to be able to openly enjoy her life with Hannah, Yasi needs to at least keep her family informed about her situation. This will help keep her loved ones together, even if she doesn't tell it to everyone in the community or society. As long as her immediate family members know about it, that should be all that matters.

Explanation:

The case of one's sexuality is a sensitive and even taboo subject in many parts of the modern world. Yasi's reluctance to come clean to her Grandmother about her bisexuality is one major conflict in the story so far. Even though she had told her parents about it, not everyone in her family knows it yet. And she wanted to keep it that way too, to save everyone the hurt and pain it might bring.

But at the same time, if she can tell her grandmother about it, then she can be assured that at least those important to her know about her life. She need not tell it everyone in the community or society, as long as her family knows the truth. She owes no one anything, nor does her happiness depend on their opinions. But at the same time, she should do the right thing by telling at least her family members.
