        He was a very special boy who thought he was smarter than everyone else.

        Now he’s a dipshit racist alt-righter (redundant, I know) who thinks he’s smarter than everyone else.

            One can sum up The Odyssey as “a bunch of dudes try to get home from war,” but it’s more about the journey than the destination.

              Are you equating the nuance of a timeless literary classic to a sheltered white guy’s childhood? For real?

                No, I’m saying that if you ask someone to summarize a lengthy piece then it’s a bit ridiculous to complain about the lack of details.

                  Yes, and I’m starting that if you attempt to summarize, do be sure to touch on key points rather than boiling it down to such a degree that it’s indistinguishable from mud. Pretty basic stuff, friend. Thanks for trying, though.
