Writing Homework Help

I don’t know how to handle this English question and need guidance.

1/In Chapter One of the Odyssey,
when asked by Athena/Mentor if he is Odysseus’ son, Telemachus responds
“My mother says that I am his son, but I cannot be sure, since no
one knows his own begetting (line 213). How do you evaluate this
response? What, in your opinion, prompts Telemachus to momentarily doubt
his own father? Write about 200 words.

2/Evaluate the relationship of Odysseus with Calypso, as described in Chapter 5 of the Odyssey. How long has Odysseus been with her and why/how does the affair end so abruptly?

Why
do you think Homer chooses to begin the story of Odysseus on Calypso’s
island and not somewhere else? Is there any strategic meaning to this
choice? Write about 200 words.
