The word summarize is when you offer a short but extensive summary of important detail in a article , book , newspaper, ect. But you specifically write the theme and facts that were stated throughout the text.
Answer:
The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.
Explanation:
Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.
The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own <em>"Ithaka"</em> or in this sense, one's life end or goal.<em> "Ithaka"</em> here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.
<em>Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
</em>
<em>you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.</em>
According to the poet, <u>it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.</u>
This would be Descriptive writing.
