Explanation:

The poem "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman is a poem written in memory of President Abraham Lincoln and the "victory" in the Civil War. This tribute paid homage to the long war fought for the freedom of the American nation from the British colonialist power.

In the poem, the poet talks of his admiration and respect for the "father" who's gone "cold and dead". The lines in bold "This arm beneath your head; It is some dream that on the deck" means the arm that's supporting the dying captain's head. The use of the "deck" as being aboard a ship is a metaphor for the whole duration of the war as some kind of sea voyage that they've undertaken. The voyage may also be symbolic of the president's life. The poet talks of the president's death as if it is all a dream. The death of Lincoln shattered the people, grieving for their lost leader who had safely brought them to shore after a turbulent 'voyage'. And the father-figure he is for the whole nation.

hospitality is mentioned many times in odysseus. it is known as xenia in the poem. one notable example is.

here is a poor man come, a wanderer,

driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone

in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.
