In Joseph Bruchac's The Snapping Turtle, Sonny (protagonist) lives in a rural area with his grandparents. The grandfather is part Native American, and makes sure Sonny learns important values from his heritage. is trying to hunt a Snapping Turtle. On his way to catching the turtle, he sees a group of pre-teens and tries to avoid them, remarking on how he tends to avoid that kind of people as they don't seem to care about nature like his family does. He also says how he would never fit in among them as they would make him participate of a <em>ritual</em> involving tying him up and burning his toes, and calling him names. Furthermore, he mentions how these youngsters were noisier than his grandpa and himself, scaring game away.
We can infer that these kids acquired these values at home or somewhere else in the city, where adapting to nature is not a vital skill anymore.

Answer:
Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.
Explanation:
<u>Paraphrasing is the act of restating any given statement or passage in one's own words and not using the words used in the original text.</u> This is used/ done to achieve more clarity and also to enable a different explanation of the same text.
In Homer's "The Odyssey", the story revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men on their way back home to Ithaca. The paraphrase of the given passage by a student provides good detail about how Odysseus describes his home. But at the same time, <u>if the student added the detail about how Odysseus holds his home close to his heart (</u><em><u>"I shall not see on earth a place more dear"</u></em><u>), this will strengthen the paraphrase.</u>
Thus, the <u>key detail that should be added to strengthen the student's paraphrasing is the second option.</u>
