<span>it marks a turning point
The volta is the start of the sestet, the second part of the sonnet. It usually marks a drastic change in tone. As a whole the sestet is trying to propose a solution to the problem or comment on the problem in general, which the change in mood moves towards.</span>
<span>This has been a view point of people who wish to avoid conflicts, be they war or just interpersonal. The comparison is a simple good versus evil and does not allow for unusual circumstances.

Answers with Explanation:
1. What is at least one character trait of Odysseus and explain how he demonstrates this trait with a textual example.
One character trait of Odysseus is "courage." Even if he was just a mere human, he fought against a giant like "Cyclops Polyphemus." He was brave enough to enter the cave of Cyclops in order to save his men. He wasn't afraid to die, though he described Cyclops as a "horrid creature, not like a human being at all." He even risked his life to get the attention of Cyclops so it could drink the wine, which could make it weak. Then he and his men struck the eyes of the Cyclops and this he stated in his story to the Phaeacians,<em> "So we seized our stake with its fiery tip and bored it, round and round in the giant’s eye till blood came boiling up around..." </em>
2. Compare the epic hero of Odysseus to a hero in your life today. This could be a person you know or someone from a movie or book.
If I were to compare Odysseus to a person in my life, I would say my "father." Just like Odysseus, my father is courageous enough to win in any situation, just so he could send all of us (since were are seven siblings) to school. He never thought of himself and always look forward that his kids will have a better future. Odysseus was, similarly, the same with my father when it comes to taking care of his men and his family. <u>Both of them are courageous enough not to surrender in any situation.</u>
