What is a brief summary of Circe and Land of the Dead from the Odyssey.

Answers

Summary: Book 10 (to see summary of Book 11 go to comments)
The Achaeans sail from the land of the Cyclopes to the home of Aeolus, ruler of the winds. Aeolus presents Odysseus with a bag containing all of the winds, and he stirs up a westerly wind to guide Odysseus and his crew home. Within ten days, they are in sight of Ithaca, but Odysseus’s shipmates, who think that Aeolus has secretly given Odysseus a fortune in gold and silver, tear the bag open. The winds escape and stir up a storm that brings Odysseus and his men back to Aeolia. This time, however, Aeolus refuses to help them, certain that the gods hate Odysseus and wish to do him harm.

Lacking wind, the Achaeans row to the land of the Laestrygonians, a race of powerful giants whose king, Antiphates, and unnamed queen turn Odysseus’s scouts into dinner. Odysseus and his remaining men flee toward their ships, but the Laestrygonians pelt the ships with boulders and sink them as they sit in the harbor. Only Odysseus’s ship escapes.

From there, Odysseus and his men travel to Aeaea, home of the beautiful witch-goddess Circe. Circe drugs a band of Odysseus’s men and turns them into pigs. When Odysseus goes to rescue them, Hermes approaches him in the form of a young man. He tells Odysseus to eat an herb called moly to protect himself from Circe’s drug and then lunge at her when she tries to strike him with her sword. Odysseus follows Hermes’ instructions, overpowering Circe and forcing her to change his men back to their human forms. Odysseus soon becomes Circe’s lover, and he and his men live with her in luxury for a year. When his men finally persuade him to continue the voyage homeward, Odysseus asks Circe for the way back to Ithaca. She replies he must sail to Hades, the realm of the dead, to speak with the spirit of Tiresias, a blind prophet who will tell him how to get home.

The next morning, Odysseus rouses his men for the imminent departure. He discovers, however, that the youngest man in his crew, Elpenor, had gotten drunk the previous night, slept on the roof, and, when he heard the men shouting and marching in the morning, fell from the roof and broke his neck. Odysseus explains to his men the course that they must take, which they are displeased to learn is rather meandering.

Read the excerpt from Through the Looking-Glass by Lewis Carroll.

“It was a glorious victory, wasn’t it?” said the White Knight, as he came up panting.

“I don’t know,” Alice said doubtfully. “I don’t want to be anybody’s prisoner. I want to be a Queen.”

“So you will, when you’ve crossed the next brook,” said the White Knight. “I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood—and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move.”

“Thank you very much,” said Alice. “May I help you off with your helmet?” It was evidently more than he could manage by himself; however, she managed to shake him out of it at last.

“Now one can breathe more easily,” said the Knight, putting back his shaggy hair with both hands, and turning his gentle face and large mild eyes to Alice. She thought she had never seen such a strange-looking soldier in all her life.

What do the details in the excerpt show about the relationship between Alice and the White Knight?
Alice wants the White Knight to always protect her.
The White Knight wants to protect Alice.
The White Knight does not want Alice to become a Queen.
Alice is afraid of the White Knight.

Answers

Answer:

The White Knight wants to protect Alice.

Explanation:

The details in the given excerpt show us that the White Knight wants to protect Alice. We can make this conclusion based on the following lines:

“I’ll see you safe to the end of the wood—and then I must go back, you know. That’s the end of my move.”

The White Knight will protect Alice as long as he can, but he is aware of his limitations. He can't go farther than his move allows him. This is why the third option is the correct one.

The rest of the options are incorrect because:

Alice doesn't show that she wants the White Knight to always protect her. She wants to become a Queen.The White Knight doesn't show that he doesn't want Alice to become a Queen. He tells her that she will become one when she crosses the next brook.It's obvious that Alice isn't afraid of the White Knight. He protects her and she even takes off his helmet despite not having to.

What is a different way to say Soil relocation engineer?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  ditch digger

Explanation:

Just as a "sanitation engineer" is a name given to a garbage collector, so "soil relocation engineer" may be another name for a ditch digger or grave digger.

__

There are many jobs in the mining and construction industries where engineering expertise is required with respect to appropriate relocation of soil. A mining engineer will need to relocate soil in such a way as to prevent cave-ins, slides, or pollution, while facilitating reclamation of the mine site when it is no longer productive.

A civil engineer will need to relocate soil using many of the same considerations as a mining engineer, but will also have to plan the moves so as to minimize cuts and fills, and to ensure adequate compaction for the construction to be done.

A dredge operator will perform soil relocation operations to or from underwater locations.

I had resided but a short time in Baltimore before I observed a marked difference, in the treatment of slaves, from that which I had witnessed in the country. A city slave is almost a freeman, compared with a slave on the plantation. He is much better fed and clothed, and enjoys privileges altogether unknown to the slave on the plantation. There is a vestige of decency, a sense of shame, that does much to curb and check those outbreaks of atrocious cruelty so commonly enacted upon the plantation.

This is a valley of ashes—a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat . . . where ashes take the forms of houses. . . ."

"But above the gray land and the spasms of bleak dust which drift endlessly over it, you perceive, after a moment, the eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg. The eyes of Doctor T.J. Eckleburg are blue and gigantic. . . . But his eyes, dimmed a little by many paintless days under the sun and rain, brood on over the solemn dumping ground."

"I have been drunk just twice in my life, and the second time was that afternoon; so everything that happened has a dim, hazy cast over it. . . . I sat down . . . to read a chapter of Simon Called Peter—either it was terrible stuff or the whiskey distorted things, because it didn’t make any sense to me."

"‘Neither of them can stand the person they’re married to.’

‘Can’t they?’"

"‘Can’t stand them.’ She looked at Myrtle and then at Tom. ‘What I say is, why go on living with them if they can’t stand them? If I was them I’d get a divorce and get married to each other right away.’

‘It’s really his wife that’s keeping them apart. She’s a Catholic, and they don’t believe in divorce.’

Daisy was not a Catholic, and I was a little shocked at the elaborateness of the lie."

"I wanted to get out and walk eastward toward the Park. . . . Yet high over the city our line of yellow windows must have contributed their share of human secrecy to the casual watcher in the darkening streets, and I was him too, looking up and wondering.

Read the passage, then answer the question that follows. Even as Gandhi was working for Balasumdaram, the South Africans passed a new law designed to make life difficult for Indians. If an indentured worker chose to stay past his or her contract and settle, the worker was slapped with an annual tax, which was a heavy burden for Indians, who barely survived on their wages. The message was clear: You were brought to Natal only as a guest worker; you have no right to stay. Today in the United States we allow Mexicans and people from Central America to milk cows and to pick tomatoes, strawberries, grapes, and other crops, but Congress has been deadlocked over the rules for allowing them to become residents or citizens. Just like the whites in Natal, we want the cheap labor but are reluctant to offer those same workers and their children a home in our country. –Sugar Changed the World, Marc Aronson and Marina Budhos What is the authors’ primary purpose in this passage? to convince readers that Gandhi was a visionary leader to inform readers of the difficulty of life as an indentured servant to persuade readers that modern forms of indentured servitude exist to entertain readers by drawing parallels between past and present issues

What is annotation?

The meaning of an annotation is an additional note that makes sense of something in a text. The meaning of an obsolete term in the Bible, recorded on the lower part of the page, is an illustration of an annotation.

Explaining text advances understudy interest in perusing and provides students an engaged motivation for composing. It upholds perusers' capacity to explain and incorporate thoughts, offer pertinent conversation starters, and catch scientific pondering text.

An annotation is a concise note following every reference recorded on a commented on book index. The objective is to momentarily sum up the source as well as make sense of why it is significant for a theme. They are ordinarily a solitary succinct passage, yet may be longer assuming you are summing up and assessing.
