does it matter when we request?

ok then.... hrmmm..... Odysseus is tested all the time. He has to deal with his men not listening to him (more coming)

odysseus is tested by temptaion. its only one thing but i think its the main thing. this idea is universal because every has temptaion

and he has to deal with the temptations of the Sirens. I think that when he talks to the prophet then he is also tested, because (more)

good, guys...all good thoughts!

now that he knows his future, he may possibly think that there is only one way, and if he doesn't follow it exactly, then someting (more)

thank u

bad may occur. Or he might fail as a leade. Odysseus is tested with every action that he has to do and face

i agree w/ james.... that is SOOO true!

Odysseus is is tested by him having to go through test that temp him.

i posted my answer freely. sorry

it's around somwhere

odysseus is tested by temptation.this is universal because everyday people are tested to see if they give into temptation

od. has had many temtations on his journys... one his temtations is to not eat the lotus...not go to the sirens island and many more

odysseus is tempted by temptation, always trying to keep his men in order. this idea is universal,

man we seem so much smarter over the computer then in person haha im jk u guys . keep it up so we get some good grades

because everywhere he goes he has to go against the odds

i love how you abbreviated... lol! mar, i totally agree, i mean think about it, not eating the lotus and everything is was hard for him

ya erin.... lol james! but erin thats a great point, he has to face impossible tasks

i think thT

he is dealing with stubborn men and had to try to portect them. he has to go against the odds and he faces everyday challanges and wins

he is also annoyed with his men...he is always trying to keep them in order even though they have ignorance...

i think odysseus is teted

fo' sho', mariana

oooops wrong button

odysseus has to face may diffrent challenges to get back home and possidans makeing it alot harder but i think he will get back home

and we really do sound super sophisticated, hahaha

i know erin....this site makes us sound and be smart with ineresting ideas

this is off the question but it still is about the book... i think homer keeps tring to display ods. over and over in the book

ya too true mar

i think odysseus is tested with temptation too because the sires sing the song and if he gives in then bad stuff will happen...

erin u r making some good points here so r u jamie

thaks james, u too

odysseus is tested in his strength with the cyclops he had to be smart and quick thinking he is also tested in his self control

oh and yes the idea is universal it is a idea

every leader will be tested right? the gods have to see what will happen when he is

odysseus is tested through resisting temtation and trying to figure out how to stay true about what he relly wants

its universal because ppl should stick to what they want instead of getting side tracked

he was tested when he had to listen to the sirens.

it universal because it happens to everybody almost everyday

he was tested by being held back by the temptation, the foreshadowing, and the cyclops.it is universal because everyone at one point in time

odysseus is tested by having to go through ten years of struggles just to get home to his family.

every person has to be a leader and will have to resist temptation

it is universal because everyone has to go through struggles everyday

He was tested by his temptation by the sirens and how he will keep away.

Its univeral because everyone is kind of tempted like that.

Odysseus is tested throughout the story by facing all different sorts of temptations. One way he was tested was could he resist things that

may seem like everything he wanted.

This is idea is universal because at one point in your life you will be faced with temptation, and so will everyone else.

also, Odysseus is tested by the fact that he hasn't seen his family in years and he probably misses them!!!!!!!

so umm ... Odysseus's men are practicaly trying to him killed by getting tempted at every where they go.Also Odysseus has to go home to meet

his family because if he dies and doesnt see his family he will be very upset...

yes...he knows himself well enough to tie himself to the mast...and, you know, we all have friends who try to "steer us off course"...right?

i didn't think of it like that... I didn't think that he knew himself well enough about the mast thing.... huh never though of that....

Odysseus is tested by his temptation and strength, he get's tempted and has to reject it, this feeling is universal because almost everyone

goes through it at one point in there life

i think odysseus was tested by temptation well the siren's sang to him. he has to use his will power not to give in.

this is universlal because ever one has to go through something like this at least once in thier life time, but some give in unlike odysseus

yes...some people are "the crew" and others are "O"...tough decisions!

Odysseus is tested throughout the story by the sirens and all sorts of things. An example of him being tested is the sirens trying to have

him come and dock on there shore and get everything he has ever wanted.

This is an universal idea because everyone in the world, including myself, are going to be tempted by something sooner

or later in there life.

yup...no matter who you are, something will be out there that you'll have a tough time resisting...

not saying a choice is good or bad, but how do you make those choices?
