read the passage from the odyssey - elpenor.

by night
our ship ran onward toward the ocean's bourne,
the realm and region of the men of winter,
hidden in mist and cloud. never the flaming
eye of helios lights on those men
at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars,
nor in descending earthward out of heaven;
ruinous night being rove over those wretches.

for odysseus and his men, the loss of helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of

a. death.
b. fear.
c. hope.
d. power.

the book's theme is the moral ambiguity of the iranian revolution, history of middle eastern relations and the process of growing up during war. it sheds light on the stereotypical views of middle eastern culture and religion.

the author explicitly portrays the issues of class disparities and racism continously throught the whole novel.

the relationship between parents and childrens, the abandonment of faith, modernity vs fundamentalism and class conflict are the 4 main panels that this novel englobes.

hope this , if you would like me to be more specific about a specific excerpt let me know : )
