Homer demonstrates that Penelope, Odysseus' wife, has the ability to be cunning and sly. One example of this is when she fools the suitors with her weaving. She does this by promising that she will choose a new husband, bu not until she is finished weaving a shroud to honor Laertes. Every day, she weaves a little bit to convince the suitors that she is sticking to her word. However, so she never finishes the shroud, she un-weaves it each night! This is because Penelope never really wanted to choose a new husband, she just wanted to seem such so that she wouldn't get killed by the angry suitors when she turned down their offer. By doing this, Penelope demonstrates that she can be cunning and sly and that she can outwit her suitors until her husband returns home or the suitors leave.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
