1. In the Homer’s ‘The Odyssey’, Odysseus depicts the character epic hero qualities. As in one instance, he blinds the Cyclops Polyphemus by naming himself as ‘nobody’, and save his crew from death, by tricking him smartly. To learn about his fate, odyssey travels to Hades. When he reaches Ithaca, to claim his rightful place he takes upon on all Penelope’s suitors by stringing his famous bow.

Qualities:
•He shows his cunning. He lies to Polyphemus by telling him that his ship is destroyed by Poseidon and disguise himself by naming himself as ‘nobody’. Hence when odyssey blind him and Polyphemus shouts for help “nobody is killing me!” his brother doesn’t come for help thinking he is alone.
•Another instance where odyssey demonstrates his cunning is when he knows that it’s only Polyphemus who a move the boulder from the cave’s entrance he cleverly makes Polyphemus drink wine till he gets to pass out. Later he blinds Polyphemus and when Polyphemus opens the entrance and odyssey and his men escape the cave.
Flaws:
•To make sure that Polyphemus must know about Odyssey and who ruined him, odyssey boasts about himself and tell about how he tricked him. Therefore, this leads Polyphemus to curse Odyssey and this curse leads to the death of his crewmen and makes his voyage to home difficult.
3. The archetype refers to the kind of person who is above all and often leads everyone. Odyssey is an archetype as during the Trojan war he obtained the title of ‘hero’ in other terms possessing god-like powers or traits. Though he was self-centered and often boasted about himself, he took charge of his men and lead his crew through his cunning and wit.
First you have to know what kind of paper you are writing. IF it's an argumentative paper, than you need to find something involving Halloween parties to argue about. Maybe you would want to argue against Halloween parties, making the claim being that they only encourage unhealthy eating. Or you could argue for them, saying that these parties create community and bring people together, providing fun safe activities that families can enjoy together.
Well then start by defining your terms. Make a general assumption about the kind of people likely to show up at a Halloween party. you can divide them into groups based on their characteristics and their traits, like the people who dress up versus those who don't. Then you can explain in following paragraphs why and how you classified them into these categories. also in a following paragraph you can detail the motives of why classification of these groups is important. you could also divide them up into sub-categories. Such as for those who dress up: do they dress up as something scary or something funny? finally in your conclusion you can restate your classifications by paraphrasing your topic statements of each paragraph.
One of the tools english teachers use is a rubric
Start a fire. It sets the entire island on fire and puts them in danger. As far as irony goes, fire is a symbol of hope in the novel, so it is ironic that hope is the thing that would destroy them (if they were not found just in time).
