In book 10, I noticed that at some spots, the story moves really fast. But at other spots, it moves fairly slow. Here are some of my thoughts on this book:
1. Why does Ulysses have to go on the extra journey? And how does he remember all the information given to him from Circe about this voyage?
2. When they say cloaks and shirts, by cloak do they mean pants or what a cloak is to us? It seems kind of odd that they would walk around with no pants . . . hmmmmm.
3. How many men were left when the got to the island where Circe lived?
4. If I were there as part of Ulysses' crew, I would be pretty upset with him myself too.
5. What about the bag caused them to be turned around? It would be so awful for that to happen when they could see their home.
6. When Ulysses and his crew were turned around and ended back on the Aeolian Island, why did they end up here? Because this is where they came from?
7. And when Ulysses went back to Aeolus, I agreed with Aeolus not helping them. I wouldn't want to because what if this happened again?
8. Why did Antiphates eat Ulysses' men?
Anyways, I pretty much got everything that was going on, but sometimes it was hard to get the meaning of the story and what it had to do with the whole poem in general. And most of the time, I can't tell that it is a poem I am reading. . .
