Introduction to Unit 1 about early American literature

Setting is not merely a description of the weather, the time period, the time of day or what the place looks like. Setting can also affect character, theme, and/or plot (Golden, 66). For this activity, we will compare the settings of the film and text versions of The Odyssey. Setting plays an important role in the terms of describing Odysseus’s journey and can even act as a symbol for the themes of the rest of the film. Complete the chart below.

Chapter 3 excerpt from the autobiography "We Beat the Street"

When we talk about analyzing literature for characterization, we are trying to find out what defines, motivates, or is unique about a particular character. Aspects that we focus on as significant in literature include thoughts, emotions, actions, and speech, as well as other details such as age and physical appearance. Also, focus on how the writer helps to create or develop this character through the use of epic similes and other literary techniques.

Summarize how Odysseus changes throughout his journey. In the ‘Plus’ column, list positive changes; in the ‘Minus’ column, list negative changes, and in the ‘Intriguing’ column, list changes that were neat or unexpected, or even some changes that you did not fully understand and want to know more about.

Students will use the series of events in The Odyssey to characterize the traits of Odysseus, the epic hero.
