AIM: To write a persuasive speech for the character of Calypso using a range of persuasive techniques.
On pages 32-34 of 'The Search for Odysseus' by Charles Way, the nymph, Calypso, seeks to persuade Telemachus not to go in search of his father, Odysseus. Her arguments emerge in a conversation she has with him. Below, I've turned a two-way conversation into a one-way speech by Calypso.
