I bet that at least thirty percent of those times are/were in high school, the most important part of a student’s life. Think back to all the times you never gave up. The Odyssey contains the life lesson never give up and therefore should continue to be included in the GBN Curriculum. The Odyssey contains many life lessons and morals, but the most important thing that should be learned from The Odyssey is “never give up”. But just because many people think The Odyssey is can not benefit high school students doesn’t make it so. They believe that there is nothing to learn from reading the book that can help students in the long run. The truth is, most people (mainly from inexperience) feel that the story of Odysseus and his journey is not relevant to high school students of the 21st century. Most people know how the story goes, but only a handful of those people have read and deeply discussed the story. The Odyssey is a classic piece of literature.
