An Answer for Mason

I typically answer questions asked in the comment sections by leaving an answer in the comment section. For some reason I am unable to do so. Whatever.

Here is my answer for Mason's question from the Dramatic Irony post:

Hi Mason! My answer to your question would be to leave the book behind at the end of your concluding paragraph. Hospitality is very important to the Greek culture shared by Homer. Is it important today? Is there a lesson for humanity to learn or remember? After all, why do human beings continue to read The Odyssey? My recommendation is that you bring the reader of your essay into today's world, connecting what Homer has to say about hospitality to our world, the present day.

Mr. Matluck
