Luke, I Am Your Father

One of the most memorable lines from Star Wars, when Darth Vader reveals his true identity to his son. Anything like that happen in The Odyssey? Yup. Check out Book XVI, Line 191: "I am your father." Odysseus reveals his true identity to his son, Telemachus. Coincidence? I think not. The father-son relationship is very popular in stories from all cultures. Might there be some similarities within The Harry Potter series?  Maybe not Harry's dead father, but his father figures?  Yes, plural.

    Hi Mason!

    I cannot tell you yo not follow the directions for your Summer assignment. I guess you could keep a copy of your current essay and possibly hand it in after asking the teacher. If you are asking me, you should follow the directions.
