Suchitra Narayanan Mrs. Gialdini English 11AP March 10, 2015 Beloved’s Beloved In Beloved by Toni Morrison, Sethe and Beloved’s rather newly formed relationship is illustrated and developed in the passage, “Rainwater held on to pine needles . . . the older woman’s return” (68).

Ogygia by Calypso. Odysseus longed to see his family and he finally arrived at home after about twenty years. Odysseus’s story is relevant to today because many people today are sent away from their homes and families just as he was. Odysseus’s life parallels the lives of most soldiers.

Literature has never been easy. With so many meanings across the literary spectrum, a character or the setting could be a symbol, a metaphor, or anything possible.
