Choose one of the following assignments:

1. Imagine Odysseus as a modern-day superhero. Write a story where he is saving someone or defeating a villain. You can draw inspiration from movies, comics, or shows you are familiar with, but make sure Odysseus remains himself: the archetypal hero on his journey!

2. Write an extra or alternative scene for The Odyssey that includes a new archetypal character. For example, you could add an "outsider" in Odysseus's crew, a "damsel in distress" on a mystical island, or a "soul mate" for one of his men. It should be easy to tell which archetype your new character is!

- Your scene should be at least two pages, double spaced.
