How does Achillies want his mother Thetis to help him?

Achilles wished for Thetis to get him new armor (which she did, getting Hephaestus to make it) he also wanted honor (which Thetis granted from Zeus's promise) she also kept the body of Patroklos whole and fresh until after Achilles could avenge him. In many ways she supported him to getting glory (although with the price of a short life).
