Answer and Explanation:

As you may already know, "Odyssey" is an epic story written, probably, by Homer. The story takes place in Greece, during the Trojan War and we learn about the achievements and adventures of the hero Odysseus and his attempts to return home.

In part I of this story, we are introduced to topics such as cunning and fidelity. Cunning is presented through Odisseuy's deeds, which is the main characteristic of this hero. Cunning is presented at all times in the work, pointing Odysseus as someone who is courageous, daring and intelligent. Fidelity, on the other hand, is presented through Odysseus' remorse for not being faithful to his wife during many moments in his adventures.

Part II of this work presents other themes such as character flaws and hospitality. The character flaw is also a great feature of Odysseus and shows how imperfect the hero is, in addition to humanizing him and allowing readers to identify with him. The hospitality is due to Odisseu's wife, who needs to receive in her home many suitors who bother her and destroy her family's patrimony.

How does Atticus feel when he delivers his lecture to Scout and Jem about their family’s “gentle breeding”? What does Scout noit
Wittaler [7]
"Atticus does not want to have this conversation about "gentle breeding". He repeatedly tells Scout and Jem that their Aunt Alexandra wants him to have this conversation. He says, "our aunt has asked me to try and impress upon you and Jean Louise that you are not from run-of-the-mill people". He is supposed to be informing them that their family heritage makes them upper class people, who are better than others and should behave accordingly. Scout knows that this is not how Atticus truly feels or wants them to act. She says, "My father never thought these thoughts. My father never spoke so."<span />
