1.) The claim that Aristotle makes about The Odyssey is that it can be easily summarized. He speaks about the events that happen in the story. The rest is just upcoming events in the story.
2.) I felt that Odysseus's, Telemachu's, and Penelope's are all in a very difficult and unfortunate situation. Odysseus was trying to get home to his family while his son "Telemachus" was trying to protect his mother "Penelope" from a mob of suitors. Penelope was remaining faithful to her husband "Odysseus". I would want to see them resolved in the "episodes" that Aristotle references because I'm curious to see how they are going to solve their situations whether it was an easy or a difficult option. I'm also willing to see if they made a good decision.
3.) We read the story because we learn about people's experiences in their situations. We listen to stories retold by friends and family because we find it interesting to learn about their past. The experience of hearing or reading a story in full helps us get to understand the meaning of the story.
