Q1

Odysseus has to go through many adventures on his way back to his old life. Choose one and write a summary of the event from the perspective of another character in the event – maybe the creature who was working against Odysseus and his crew, or some other character who was involved in the event.......
It was a murky night and I had just finished my meal of wild goats on the shore, everything was peaceful and at rest. My father was happy, so the seas were nice and calm. When I returned to my cave, though, I found a few pesky humans in my cave. I first was hospitable to the small men. But I soon came to my senses that these men were merely food and could not be treated more than such. I hungry, so I ate two of them, but I had just eaten and so I saved the rest for later. After eating so much, I needed to sleep, so I took a rest until the next day.
In the morning I went out to pasture my sheep. Once I returned after a long day's work, I found a man who was kind enough to give me some of his wine to drink. While in my jovial state, I asked for his name, to which he responded "nobody." After a while I felt a bit sick and collapsed, that is when they turned on me. The nice man who gave me wine stabbed me in the eye and my cries to my friends came unanswered. I then took my sheep out the next day and somehow Nobody and his men escaped. I then prayed to my father for vengeance on him, which I knew would come.
