There are many conflicts that arise throughout the epic poem, The Odyssey. One major conflict is between Telemachus and the suitors. Discuss the cause of this conflict and the events that will lead to its eventual resolution?

There are several conflicts between Telemachus and the suitors, and among the suitors themselves. All the suitors want to marry Penelope. Of course, only one could marry Penelope, which also leads to conflicts among the suitors themselves. If Penelope marries of the suitors, he would become Telemachus' new father, which would mean he gave up on Odysseus' being alive. He doesn't want that. He wants to be loyal to his great father, Odysseus. At the same time, the Greeks put a high value on hospitality, which makes it rather hard for Telemachus to just kick the suitors out, as this would be a breach of Xenia, or hospitality.

The major conflict between Telemachus and the suitors in 'The Odyssey' stems from the suitors' disrespect of Odysseus’ household, leading to the climactic resolution when Odysseus returns and defeats them with Telemachus' help, embodying the Greek virtue of arete.

The conflict between Telemachus and the suitors in The Odyssey arises from the suitors' occupation of Odysseus' home during his prolonged absence. They squander his wealth and plot against Telemachus, who is Odysseus' son. This conflict is deeply rooted in the struggle for power and the protection of one's inheritance, which are central themes in ancient Greek culture and literature.

The resolution comes when Odysseus returns, albeit in disguise initially. After revealing his true identity, he, along with Telemachus, confronts and ultimately slaughters the suitors, reclaiming his home and restoring order. This epic conclusion exemplifies the Greek virtue of arete, as both physical prowess and moral qualities are crucial to the characters' success.

Homer's approach to weaving episodes and events demonstrates the breadth and depth expected of epic poetry, with The Odyssey skillfully managing its complex plot to arrive at a satisfying resolution.

Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address. Descending from these general principles, we find the proposition that in legal contemplation the Union is perpetual confirmed by the history of the Union itself. The Union is much older than the Constitution. It was formed, in fact, by the Articles of Association in 1774. It was matured and continued by the Declaration of Independence in 1776. It was further matured, and the faith of all the then thirteen States expressly plighted and engaged that it should be perpetual, by the Articles of Confederation in 1778. And, finally, in 1787 one of the declared objects for ordaining and establishing the Constitution was "TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION." But if the destruction of the Union by one or by a part only of the States be lawfully possible, the Union is LESS perfect than before the Constitution, having lost the vital element of perpetuity. Lincoln makes an appeal to logos through his A. passionate support of the Union. B.description of the Union’s history. C. concern about the tragedy of war. D. criticism of the Constitution.

Ridgetop Development

Our mountain regions are unique and beautiful places. We must preserve them for future generations.
One of the most serious threats to our mountains is ridgetop development. Large housing
developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges are unsightly. And they adversely
affect the scenic views that draw tourists to our region each year. Who wants to drive to the mountains
to see not the lovely tree-covered outline of the gently sloping mountain ridges against the sky, but
rows of houses jutting from the ridges and slopes with little or no tree cover between them? With
tourism as the biggest industry in our area, maintaining our scenic ridgelines is crucial to continued
economic success here.

Ridgetop development not only detracts from scenic mountain views and threatens our area’s top
industry, it also harms the environment. Stripping large areas to create multiple building sites removes
the trees and other plants. These resources provide natural erosion barriers on steep slopes. Large
housing developments on ridges often increase erosion and runoff into streams and rivers. The
resulting influx of silt and pollutants degrades the waters. This degradation, in turn, harms the habitats
of many native species of insects, fish, and other water animals. Habitat loss occurs on the slopes,
too, as lawns replace native plants. And nonnative species are introduced for landscaping large areas
of previously undisturbed land.

Ridgetop development poses a potential threat to people living downslope as well as to people living
in the developments themselves. The grading and ground removal necessary in any steep-slope
building project can seriously undermine the integrity of the slope, increasing the possibility for
catastrophic landslides. Particularly in stormy conditions, the weakened slopes can collapse, causing
damage to property, danger to humans, and potentially severe environmental problems.

The stunning views and tree-covered slopes that characterize our mountain region are not just a
pleasure to experience. They are an economic necessity. Permanent damage is being done to the
very mountains that provide quality of life for our citizens and the economic means to maintain that life.
Ridgetop development must be stopped while thoughtful, effective measures are put in place to
restrict future development. Concerned citizens must take a stand and urge our city council to impose
a ban followed by much stricter limits on ridgetop development...........Which argument does the author use to support his or her position? Large housing developments built on the mountains attract tourists to the region, boosting the economy. The citizens have urged the city council to encourage the development of large housing complexes on the mountains. The development poses a serious threat to the lives of people living downslope and to people living in the developments themselves. Large housing developments built on steep slopes and along mountain ridges add to the scenic beauty of the region.
