Which quote from "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" supports the idea that Mark Twain is portraying the narrator

as a fool?
1. Simon Wheeler backed me into a corner and blockaded me there with his chair, and then sat me down and reeled off the monotonous narrative which follows this paragraph.

2. In compliance with the request of a friend of mine, who wrote me from the East, I called on good-natured, garrulous old Simon Wheeler, and inquired after my friend's friend, Leonidas W. Smiley, as requested to do, and I hereunto append the result.

3. I found Simon Wheeler dozing comfortably by the bar-room stove of the old, dilapidated tavern in the ancient mining camp of Angel's. . . .

4. I did not think that a continuation of the history of the enterprising vagabond Jim Smiley would be likely to afford me much information concerning the Rev. Leonidas W. Smiley, and so I started away.

Why does Odysseus choose to tell his his crew only part of what Circe reveals about the dangers ahead? Does this decision show s
dexar [7]

Answer:

Odysseus revealed only some parts of the danger they'd face because he did not want his men to waver in their courage and to save them from panicking.

This shows his strength and his decision to keep the worries to himself shows him to be a capable and courageous leader.

Explanation:

Homer's epic "The Odyssey" revolves around the decade-long journey of Odysseus and his men after the Trojan War. And throughout the journey, they would encounter gods, monsters, and enemies, some hindering their journey while some helped them overcome obstacles.

In order to get on with their journey, Odysseus and his men had to go through the Sirens and get through with Scylla and Charybdis. Circe had warned Odysseus to take some precautions, like tying him up while blocking the men's ears with wax to stop them from falling prey to the songs of the Sirens. Moreover, she also warned him that they'd have to pass through a strait dominated by the sea monster Scylla and the enormous whirlpool Charybdis.

Odysseus did tell his men about what is coming their way but did not reveal everything. He believes that if his men know everything, then they will be filled with fear and not be courageous enough to get through. By deciding to reveal only some parts of the danger, he saved the men from being discouraged.

And in that decision to keep the most dangerous details to himself, Odysseus shows extreme strength. He decided to keep the worry to himself instead of making everyone worried. This shows what a great leader and warrior he is.

How does the dialogue reveal that Sacho respects Don Quixote in the story?
mr Goodwill [35]

The correct answer is option A: He tells him the "giants" are windmills.

Cervantes wrote Don Quixote in two parts, published respectively in 1605 and 1615. Sancho and Don Quixote come across a field of windmills, which Don Quixote sees as a group of giants. Sancho tells him they are not giants but windmills. Don Quixote replied that Sancho is not experienced in these matters, and that is why he can not see that they are clearly giants. Then, Sancho tries to dissuade Quixote, but he attacks one of the windmills, damaging his spear and acquiring some injuries. Sancho tells Quixote that it was foolish to attack the windmills. Quixote tells him that the evil magician Freston changed the giants into windmills to deprive him of his victory.
