Sba of Penelope
Good morning everyone, today I want to share a book which called Penelope. Do you guys read it before? If yes, it’s good. If not, you have to listen to what I say and you must get interest in it! I would talk about the factor of changeing Penelope’s destiny and the way of the writer conveys the message via the story.

For the change of Penelope’s destiny, Max and the wedding party are the main factors.

For Max, he had a happy moment with Penelope, at that moment, Penelope had already fall in love with him. Suddenly, she knew that Max got closer to her so as to get her photo. Her heart broke and she left from her home. Because of Max, she could see how big of the outside, she wanted to have freedom and her own life. If Max didn’t tell lie on her, she would not have the bravery to leave her family, then go to the outside and know the importance of having freedom.

For the wedding party, Penelope’s mum wanted her to marry with Edward in order to borke the curse. At the same time, Edward’s father wanted his son to marry her for getting the profit of his company. That means they all want to get the benefits from their marriage. But they didn’t love each other honestly. When the man asked them whether or not to be willing together, Penelope said no because she knew that she didn’t need to do something what she disliked. She enjoyed her life so much and she was happy to have her face.

For the message of this book is that whatever the appearance is good or not, you just need to love yourself. You don’t need to care about what the others say and comment on you. You don’t need to change for others because you are living for your own.
The appearance of Annie is one of the examples. It is because she still wanted to be friend with Penelope no matter how ugly of her face was. Annie didn’t leave her alone. For example, when Penelope left from the hospital, Annie had already waited for her in the outside. This shows that Annie didn’t care about the appearance of

    Bias In The Odyssey

    • 1096 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The first person perspective is limited and often times truths will be stretched and personal biases will be present in their testimonies. This idea can best be summed up by literary critic, M.H Abrams, who wrote in his 1957 book, A Glossary of Literary Terms, that the first person narrative, “limits the matter of the narrative to what the first-person narrator knows, experiences, infers, or can find out by talking to other characters” (Abrams 233). The limited nature of the first person means that the entire story cannot be told from just one perspective. It is ironic that Penelope chooses to berate her husband for being a liar and questioning the legitimacy of her story when her own narrative is just as dubious. Odysseus and Penelope are what Abrams would call a “fallible or unreliable narrator” (Abrams, 235). These types of narrators are ones whose “perception, interpretation, and evaluation of the matters he or she narrates do not coincide with the opinions and norms implied by the author.” Penelope’s biases are prevalent throughout the text. After being thrown into the sea by her father, she became unable to fully trust anyone and saw people only for their flaws such as Odysseus lies and Menelaus’s “very loud voice” (Atwood, 34). Her reliability is constantly in question, especially due to her personal vendetta against Helen, who she claims ruined her life by taking away her husband. It is sometimes difficult to differentiate between the truth and hyperbole in Penelope’s narration. The bias Penelope has against Helen is blatant and bitter. She is deeply jealous of Helen who was “...much in demand.” what she, “never got summed much by magicians” (Atwood, 20). Penelope is hurt by the idea that she has been constantly overshadowed by Helen, in life and in death. Due to this jealousy,…

    Considering the extent of his absence, it reveals to the reader just how loyal Penelope is as a spouse. When she refers to the stories the minstrels tell her about Odysseus’s, she denies since she feels that the minstrels, “took up these themes and embroidered them considerably.” (Atwood, 84). In her mind, “supernatural monsters and beloved of goddesses” are the reasons Odysseus is yet to return. The diction in the passage gives a emphasizes the power of the forces that are keeping her husband from returning home, which highlights the trust she has for her husband; she gives him the benefit of the doubt. She believes that “...only a strong divine power could keep my husband from rushing back…” (Atwood, 84) and not her husband’s own curiosity; she refuses to have that thought cross her mind. She is incredibly loyal to her husband. This loyalty to Odysseus stems from her inability to trust people and from Odysseus being the only person that respects her for who she…

    Penelope, Odysseus’ wife, tests him to assure herself of his identity. As he listens, she asks Eurycleia to move the bedside out of the couple’s chamber and spread it with blankets. The king himself had carved the bed as a young man, shaping it out of a living olive tree that grew in the courtyard of the palace. He built the bedroom around the tree and would know that the bed cannot be moved. When Odysseus becomes upset that the original bed may have been destroyed, Penelope is relieved and accepts him as her long absent husband. For the first time in twenty years they spent a blissful night together. In relation to a soldier some have trouble stepping back into relationships with family and friends after an experience that sent home a different person.…

    Love is a powerful word. It has been told that through love, you can conquer all things. Like Odysseus, who traveled for years, for miles, and would endure any pain for the love of his family. Odysseus and Penelope had a very strong connection and marriage compared to others whom lived in this era. An era in which the definition of marriage was not one that we are quite used to. People of this age did not marry someone because they necessarily “loved” their spouse- but for the other things that the man or woman would bring to the table. Women looked for a suitor who would bring in the best gifts along with someone that would take care of the household. Men sought out for a certain reputation. They compete for the one they had laid eyes on by…

    As I said before that the others wanted to give a message throughout the entire book to explain to people that we are all one of a kind and never try to be like someone else because there is only one of them and one of you. No one can do better than the next person because we all have something different to offer and we only improve ourselves more when we are just ourselves. Basically no one is like the other so why try to be better at what someone does better when all they’re doing is being their own being. Fear is also mentioned in this book and they tackle this throughout the book as well saying that fear is seen as a negative feature of people, but should really be used as an “engine starter.” That is mostly why this book inspires me not just entertains me.…

    Many people in this world will believe in the first impression they get. The appearance people see will usually satisfy them without further investigating into the reality of a situation. The difference between appearance and reality can be quite different. This also applies to literature. There are many instances where an author will describes a character as kind, but is actually deceptive and mean. In the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, there are characters and situations that show how appearances can differ from reality. The three main instances are the Grangerford and Shepherdson feud, through the Duke and the Dauphin, and Miss Watson.…

For much of the book she is seen to be crying until a god take pity on her and allows her to fall asleep. But while Penelope is seen to be very leaky, she is also shown to be very rational, and very bounded to many things. One of this things is the funeral shroud that she uses to trick the suitors for three years by unraveling it at night. This was a very interseting part, because in some way it reence backs to Zues putting a viel on chaos and giving it form.

    “The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn’t work, don’t buy it.” (Albom 42) Here Morrie is speaking about the views culture and media release to us, how it preys upon us. Much of the social media is put out there to prey upon our insecurities, or create them to earn our business. We see this everywhere. Beautiful celebrities are plastered all over the tv, movies, and print, which makes us think that we aren’t attractive if we don’t look like them. You can see how prominent this is simply looking at a magazine cover. The titles for the articles, “The 10 Easy Workout Tips to Get You Slim Fast!”, “How to get Perfect Skin Now”, imply that you aren’t slim, with perfect skin, know how to get a boyfriend, be popular, etc. As Morrie said, you have to see above those and manage to stay confident even when the media is pressuring you not to feel that way.…
