Review: types of point of view (POV) in writing First Person: “I” Second Person: “You” Third Person: “He,” “She,” “It” Limited: Narrator is in one character’s head. Multiple: Narrator is in multiple characters’ heads. Omniscient: Everyone’s head. So much knowledge!

As we read //The Odyssey,// and specifically as we look at who is telling the story, we have to be aware of point of view. Being aware of point of view helps us understand bias, power, and whose voices are amplified and silenced in a text (and often historically). We'll be applying this idea as we read the interaction between Calypso and Odysseus in Book 5.

Read: Book 5 through pg. 161--stop after Odysseus sees the shores of Phaeacia in the distance.

Discuss: Suzanne Vega's song lyrics to "Calypso" on the final page of the packet linked below. Group analysis

HW: Complete the second and third page of the following packet. Pull direct quotes from the text in Book 5 that provide the opportunity to "flip" the narrative to Calypso's POV. An example of this would be when Hermes first arrives on Calypso's Island, he reacts to how far away it is from everything and complains about the lack of people. Calypso, who is being punished and can't leave this island, might feel a bit annoyed at his observation.
