Book 12 Odysseus summary

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:Odysseus returns to Aeaea, where he buries Elpenor and spends one last night with Circe. She describes the obstacles that he will face on his voyage home and tells him how to negotiate them. As he sets sail, Odysseus passes Circe’s counsel on to his men. They approach the island of the lovely Sirens, and Odysseus, as instructed by Circe, plugs his men’s ears with beeswax and has them bind him to the mast of the ship. He alone hears their song flowing forth from the island, promising to reveal the future. The Sirens’ song is so seductive that Odysseus begs to be released from his fetters, but his faithful men only bind him tighter.

Once they have passed the Sirens’ island, Odysseus and his men must navigate the straits between Scylla and Charybdis. Scylla is a six-headed monster who, when ships pass, swallows one sailor for each head. Charybdis is an enormous whirlpool that threatens to swallow the entire ship. As instructed by Circe, Odysseus holds his course tight against the cliffs of Scylla’s lair. As he and his men stare at Charybdis on the other side of the strait, the heads of Scylla swoop down and gobble up six of the sailors.

Odysseus next comes to Thrinacia, the island of the Sun. He wants to avoid it entirely, but the outspoken Eurylochus persuades him to let his beleaguered crew rest there. A storm keeps them beached for a month, and at first the crew is content to survive on its provisions in the ship. When these run out, however, Eurylochus persuades the other crew members to disobey Odysseus and slaughter the cattle of the Sun. They do so one afternoon as Odysseus sleeps; when the Sun finds out, he asks Zeus to punish Odysseus and his men. Shortly after the Achaeans set sail from Thrinacia, Zeus kicks up another storm, which destroys the ship and sends the entire crew to its death beneath the waves. As had been predicted, only Odysseus survives, and he just barely. The storm sweeps him all the way back to Charybdis, which he narrowly escapes for the second time. Afloat on the broken timbers of his ship, he eventually reaches Ogygia, Calypso’s island. Odysseus here breaks from his story, stating to the Phaeacians that he sees no reason to repeat to them his account of his experience on Ogygia.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, there were approximately 270,000 Native Americans left in the United States. According to the 2000 Census, there are now four million Native Americans living in the United States. Better treatment of Native Americans is credited with this population increase. Discuss how the Indian Reorganization Act and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act aim to improve the lives of Native Americans in the United States.

Answers

Answer:

In contrast to the horrific Indian Removal Act, the Indian Reorganization Act and the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act aimed to correct many of the mistakes made during the nineteenth century. The Indian Reorganization Act passed in 1934 and gave Native Americans the right to open businesses and created a system through which Native Americans could have access to vocational training and credit. The Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act was even bigger, as it granted tribes the right to govern their own territory (limited tribal sovereignty) while still giving them access to federal money.

Explanation:

srry if its wrong but i hope it helped!

The likelihood that an earthquake will happen in the town during the next year is an example of Risk. The option third is correct.

What is earthquake?

Earthquakes are caused by abrupt displacement along fault lines inside the Earth. The movement releases accumulated 'elastic strain' energy in the shape of shock activity, which travel through the Earth and induce the earth to tremble.

Earthquake leads to the risk of life, property and livelihood of the person. People are most at risk of being crushed by a falling structure, drowning in a flood generated by a broken bridge or levee, being buried by a landslide, or being burnt in a fire.

Therefore, it can be concluded that option third is correct.

Which typographical cue tells readers that the focus of a text is about to change slightly?
glossary
subheading

Answers

Answer:

subheading

Explanation:

Subheading and the titles of the separate parts of the text divide the piece into multiple sections. They usually introduce the next topic or the idea, and the title of the subheading should explain the general idea of the forthcoming passage.

Subheadings divide the text into more formal categories based on the focus and the main ideas, making them easier to read, follow, and organize. They are really helpful when trying to get around the text and find specific information. Subheadings are done in a smaller font than the main heading and title but are separated vividly and stand out from the rest of the text.

Correct Answer: subheading

Denotation is the dictionary meaning of a word. Connotation is the emotional overtones or nuances that the word is understood to have, but which don't necessarily show up in the dictionary. So, for example, the words "youngster" and "child" both have the same denotation. However, they have slightly different connotations.

Answer in 3–4 sentences.

Answers

Answer:

Education will increase the number of jobs available to you in many ways.

One way education may help is by granting you knowledge in particular fields that may have strict requirements in order to qualify.

It will increase the likelihood of being selected by your future employer if you have education or previous experience in the field you're applying for. Another way is that it grants you access to paths that will require an education, such as: medicine, engineering, and education.

Choose the correct transition word.
O also
O either
O especially
Otherefore

Answers

Answer:

D. therefore

Explanation:

The correct transition word that fits the passage is therefore. So, the sentence will read thus:

General Washington could not rely on Henry Knox to supply regular reports about the yellow fever epidemic. He therefore wrote to the comptroller of the treasury, Oliver Wolcott, in an attempt to get an update on the situation in  Philadelphia.

"Therefore" is the transition word that links the first information the passage gave in the first sentence to the second information in the passage. So, it means that since General Washington could not rely on Knox, that led him to write to Wolcott.

Transition words which are also known as linking words refers to words or phrases that actually show the connection that exists between sentences, paragraphs or sections of a passage or speech. These words tend to signal how ideas relate to each other in a passage.

What is the main purpose of this excerpt from A Child’s History of England by Charles Dickens?

The whole country [England] was covered with forests, and swamps. The greater part of it was very misty and cold. There were no roads, no bridges, no streets, no houses that you would think deserving of the name. A town was nothing but a collection of straw-covered huts, hidden in a thick wood, with a ditch all round, and a low wall, made of mud, or the trunks of trees placed one upon another. The people planted little or no corn, but lived upon the flesh of their flocks and cattle. They made no coins, but used metal rings for money. They were clever in basket-work, as savage people often are; and they could make a coarse kind of cloth, and some very bad earthenware. But in building fortresses they were much more clever.

Answers

Answer:

true

Explanation:

you will be good at what is better known to less known

When doing an analysis it is recommended that you start from the best-known concepts to the least known ones. For this reason, we can affirm that the sentence shown in the question above is true.

We can arrive at this information because:

An analysis is a detailed study and evaluation of each part that makes up a system.This analysis must be done thoroughly and evaluate every possible detail.An analysis can be a tiring process and that is why each person must establish strategies to optimize it and make it more efficient.

An effective strategy is to start analyzing the best-known elements before analyzing the lesser-known ones. This is efficient because it speeds up the analysis, allowing the person who is analyzing to have less stress and easier focus on the most difficult concepts.
