1. Read the excerpt from Part 1 of The Odyssey by Homer.
They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
who showed no will to do us harm, only
offering the sweet Lotus to our friends—
but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,
never cared to report, nor to return:
they longed to stay forever, browsing on

tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.
