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

Answers

Answer 1
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.

I left some blanks so you can name them yourself. Hope you like it!

Explanation:

Once upon a time, there was a young girl named (insert name here). (INH) was the oldest of 5 kids and lived in a small cottage in the (Place Name) Woods. She was known through her family as being the nicest child. One day, her father asked her to go to the small kingdom of (New Place Name) nearby to buy some food for the family. The journey was far, and she never went out on her own, but she went anyway, with only a basket filled with goods to trade and a cloak on her back. (INH) was skipping through the (PN) Woods, following the quickest path to the kingdom. When she got to the kingdom, all the inns were filled, so she had to sleep in a field. When she woke up, the marketplace was already filled with vendors. She visited a couple and traded the goods for food, talking and befriending them all. (INH) was about to leave when she saw some poor kids begging a street vendor for food. The vendor refused to give them food and even started yelling at them to leave. (INH), being the kind person she was, went over and gave the children some food. She then plucked up the courage to ask the street vendor why he would yell at innocent kids just wanting food. He got angry at her as well and stole some of the food from her basket for wasting his time. She knew that she had to do something to change this man's life, or he could end up alone with feelings of anger pent up. She asked her new vendor friends to help with her plan to help this angry vendor man. That afternoon, they were ready to enact their plan. She went up to the vendor man and annoyed him so much he started chasing her. She led him to one of the vendor's houses, where they set up a psychiatrist table and got him to talk about his anger issues. He left the house with a much nicer and happier man, who now had friends to talk to about his issues. (INH) left the house with extra food given in gratitude for her help. She went home with cakes and desert to share with her family, and every now and then, she visited her new vendor friend, who always gave his food to those who needed it. THE END

Read the excerpt from "Children of the Drug Wars.”

By sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence,” says José Arnulfo Ochoa Ochoa, an expert in Honduras with World Vision International, a Christian humanitarian aid group. This abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. It would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since October, many of them legitimate refugees.

The underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. How do they support the author’s purpose?


They draw attention to the opinion that the United States is not doing enough to help these children.
They show that there is a desperate need for all countries to be willing to help refugees.
They show that the United States has participated in international conventions on how to handle the refugee crisis.

Summary

Homer opens The Odyssey with an invocation to the Muse of epic poetry and asks for her guidance in telling the story of a man who has experienced many twists and turns of fate and has suffered many hardships. Odysseus, the reader is told, is the only Greek survivor of the Trojan War who has not yet returned home or died trying. He is being held captive on the island Ogygia by the "bewitching nymph" (1.17) Calypso who wants him for her husband. Odysseus has incurred the wrath of Poseidon, god of the sea, by blinding his son Polyphemus the Cyclops. Meanwhile, Odysseus' wife, Penelope, is besieged by suitors at his home in Ithaca.

At a divine council on Mount Olympus, Athena pleads with her father, Zeus, to take pity on Odysseus and allow him to return home. She suggests that Zeus dispatch Hermes to liberate Odysseus from Calypso while Athena visits Ithaca to advise King Odysseus' son, Telemachus.

Declaration of Sentiments? What comparison is

being made between King George and the "he"

being referred to in the Declaration of

Sentiments? Cite evidence from the text to

support your response.

Answers

Answer:

1. The 'He' being referred to in the Declaration of Sentiments is the male gender- Man.

2. The comparison being made between Man and King George III is of the subjugation to which they have subjected women and the American colonists to respectively.

Explanation:

In the Declaration of Sentiments, the American women laid their complaints of how they have been relegated to the background and their civil and human rights, denied them by the male folks. They were not allowed to vote, or contribute in matters about the society, they were punished for mistakes which were tolerated when committed by the male gender. Her opinion was not to be heard in church, and she could be chastised by her husband.

Similarly, King George III subjected the colonists to several ill-treatments such as denying them their rights to fair hearing in the courts, excessive taxations, intimidation by the military, denying them trade with other nations, removing their charters, as well as many other acts of subjugation and injustice.

The pronoun "he" referred to in the Declaration of Sentiments simply means the male gender.

What is a pronoun?

It should be noted that a pronoun means the word that can be used to replace a noun in a sentence.

In this case, the comparison being made between Man and King George III is the subjugation that the women have been subjected.

In the Declaration of Sentiments, the American women laid their complaints of how they have been treated.

O B. They forced other landowners into selling their land cheaply.
O C. They used their fortunes to spend large sums on massive stretches of land
O D. They purchased the land through lengthy negotiations and complex treaties.

Answers

Answer:

In "Señor Noboa," the statement which best describes how Señor Noboa  and his father came to amass their vast property is:

B. They forced other landowners into selling their land cheaply.

Explanation:

"Señor Noboa" is a short story by author Raúl Leis. Noboa is the owner of a banana plantation where he exploits the work of thousands of laborers. At the very beginning of the story, the narrator lets us know how Señor Noboa and his father got to own so much land:

During the last fifty  years he had extended the lands inherited from his father by  squeezing small landholders so they would sell him their small  properties for a pittance. This was also how the large properties he  had inherited had come into being.

As we can see, Señor Noboa and his father forced those landowners to sell their land cheaply. This is, in fact, a representation of a common and unfortunate practice that took (and still takes) place all over the Americas. Small land owners are constantly forced out of their lands by people with means and power.
