3. Example Paragraph
Yes, Odysseus showed compassion by choosing to sacrifice six of his men instead of his whole fleet. On page 1234, the text states, “I carved a massive cake of beeswax into bits and rolled them in my hands until they softened.” This quotation supports the statement because Odysseus chose to save his men from the Sirens instead of letting the men be lured into the Siren’s trap. An example from the text states, “But as I sent them on toward Scylla, I told them nothing as they could do nothing…” (pg. 1235) This quotation supports the statement because Odysseus didn’t want the men to be worried about something they had no control over. Odysseus choosing to save his men from the Sirens and not telling his men about Scylla prove that Odysseus showed compassion for his men.
