Answer:

read this honey

Step-by-step explanation:

choose your character:

what are your 2 favorite sentences/things about their part in the plot?:

summarize them:

what is the best way to explain the plot to a 5-7 year old?:

now summarize that and add your summary to the summary of your two favorite sentences/things about the character

how does this character tie into today*:

your rough draft should look something like

"every character in The Odyssey is inspirational and [chose another adjective], but [character that you chose] is by far the most outstanding of them all. [character name] [plays this role in the plot] [has this impact on the plot, which is that {plot summary}] Surprisingly, effects that [character's name] has had on society can still be seen today by [how this character ties into today]...

keep going from there. you can do this! drink a lot of coffee! you will be exhausted and done with everything tomorrow but chances are that you already are so that's ok ig. also remember to use synonyms for the character's name so that your writing doesn't sound redundant, and avoid using the same word more than once (unless it's a little word or a common word) and use the synonym finder to find synonyms that have more words. normally name synonyms have more words than just the plain name. also if you are allowed to use quotes, say something like: as can be seen by, "[insert quote that supports statement]" and that will add words to your essay. i hope that this helped!

*if you were dressing up as a modern twist of this character for halloween, how would you? what are some mirrors of society/culture and this character's society/culture? how does this character effect greek and other cultures today? (google "how does the character ___ from the Odyssey impact culture today") use all of this information.
