Question

HELP PLS!! ASAP!! DUE TOMORROW!!
I need to write notes on the following article/passage.

Odysseus returns to Aeaea, where he buries Elpenor and spends one last night with Circe. She describes the obstacles that he will face on his voyage home and tells him how to negotiate them. As he sets sail, Odysseus passes Circe’s counsel on to his men. They approach the island of the lovely Sirens, and Odysseus, as instructed by Circe, plugs his men’s ears with beeswax and has them bind him to the mast of the ship.
...

Answer 1

He alone hears their song flowing forth from the island, promising to reveal the future. The Sirens’ song is so seductive that Odysseus begs to be released from his fetters, but his faithful men only bind him tighter.

Once they have passed the Sirens’ island, Odysseus and his men must navigate the straits between Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla is a six-headed monster who, when ships pass, swallows one sailor for each head. Charybdis is an enormous whirlpool that threatens to swallow the entire ship. As instructed by Circe, Odysseus holds his course tight against the cliffs of Scylla’s lair. As he and his men stare at Charybdis on the other side of the strait, the heads of Scylla swoop down and gobble up six of the sailors.

Odysseus next comes to Thrinacia, the island of the Sun. He wants to avoid it entirely, but the outspoken Eurylochus persuades him to let his beleaguered crew rest there. A storm keeps them beached for a month, and at first the crew is content to survive on its provisions in the ship. When these run out, however, Eurylochus persuades the other crew members to disobey Odysseus and slaughter the cattle of the Sun. They do so one afternoon as Odysseus sleeps; when the Sun finds out, he asks Zeus to punish Odysseus and his men. Shortly after the Achaeans set sail from Thrinacia, Zeus kicks up another storm, which destroys the ship and sends the entire crew to its death beneath the waves. As had been predicted, only Odysseus survives, and he just barely. The storm sweeps him all the way back to Charybdis, which he narrowly escapes for the second time. Afloat on the broken timbers of his ship, he eventually reaches Ogygia, Calypso’s island. Odysseus here breaks from his story, stating to the Phaeacians that he sees no reason to repeat to them his account of his experience on Ogygia.

Answer 9

Ohhh Okay.

Answer 10

You just have to read it and summarize it

Answer 11

Well what looks important to you? Writing notes isn't all that hard! All you have to do is look at the passage and write the key points (main things) and all the other less important information like if I was reading a passage about dogs the main notes I would write are What they eat. How long they live, what they do on their free time, ect. Stuff like that.

Answer 12

I'm just not good at writing stuff in my own words @Daniee_Bruhh

Answer 13

Okay then Maybe I can help a little. Although you have to write in YOUR OWN words I can point out key ideas.

Answer 14

Okay so a key point would be what happened when Odysseus returns to Aeaea, where he buries Elpenor and spends one last night with Circe? Do You know what happened when he returned?

Answer 15

no @Daniee_Bruhh

Answer 16

Answer 17

Ok, try like you are explaining the story to someone without reading the notes word for word. Give the main idea of what happened in the story!

Answer 18

So...

When Odysseus goes back to bury Elpenor in Aeaea, he also learns about what he will encounter on his trip back home, and stays with Circe.
