What was the basic difference in Telemachus's leaving home compared with the leave-taking of those who left to fight in Troy?

Because he was very young and had not experienced much of life, he had no idea what the rigors of war were going to be like.

While many of the soldiers who sailed off to Troy left familles back in Ithaca, Telemachus left only his mother, his home, and his
country

He was leaving in order to seek information that would help him find his father Ulysseus, while the soldiers twenty years or so earlier
were seeking to rescue Helen; therefore there seemed to be far less danger built into Telemachus's journey.

Because of the crowd of sultors, there were far more people who would be glad Telemachus was leaving than there were people
who would grieve over his absence. That was not so for the soldiers heading for Troy.

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. excerpt from "the cabuliwallah" by rabindranath tagore i was sitting in my study, looking through the accounts, when some one entered, saluting respectfully, and stood before me. it was rahmun the cabuliwallah. at first i did not recognise him. he had no bag, nor the long hair, nor the same vigour that he used to have. but he smiled, and i knew him again. "when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
