By reading only this passage, we can figuere out that she is talking to herself. She reviews her problems and concerns in her mind, she is making a reflection, that we, as the readers can visualize to know what's happening. The term "soliloquy" matches with this passage, it means: "A speech in a play that the character speaks to himself or herself or to the people watching rather than to the other characters."

There are not any hints that makes us think that she is speaking to someone else as she refers only to herself.

Write an essay arguing which version of The Odyssey is most effective in developing the hero and villain of the story. Use evide
matrenka [14]

Answer:

Odysseus is known as a hero, but that statement is often contested. Take a deeper look into the definition of a hero and explore a character analysis of epic hero characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses.

Odysseus, the crafty ruler of Ithaca is not a hero because of his lack of many important heroic qualities. ... Odysseus is not a hero based on the standards of merciful, selfless, and gentle. His actions against Polyphemus, the Suitors, and his men truly show that he is in fact the opposite of a hero.

If The Iliad is about strength, The Odyssey is about cunning, a difference that becomes apparent in the very first lines of the epics. Whereas The Iliad tells the story of the rage of Achilles, the strongest hero in the Greek army, The Odyssey focuses on a “man of twists and turns

Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.

The Power of Cunning over Strength

If The Iliad is about strength, The Odyssey is about cunning, a difference that becomes apparent in the very first lines of the epics. Odysseus does have extraordinary strength, as he demonstrates in Book 21 by being the only man who can string the bow. But he relies much more on mind than muscle, a tendency that his encounters showcase. He knows that he cannot overpower Polyphemus, for example, and that, even if he were able to do so, he wouldn’t be able to budge the boulder from the door. He thus schemes around his disadvantage in strength by exploiting Po1yphemus’s stupiity. Though he does use violence to put out Polyphemus’s single eye, this display of strength is part of a larger plan to deceive the brute.

Write a letter to the headmaster in your school telling him ways of ensuring discipline in the school
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Dear headmaster,

I would like to suggest you some ways to ensure discipline in our school. There are two things that I think are essential for students to really be discipline and follow the schools' rules. First of all, to give the students a space to talk and discuss all the things that are decided by the school and that affect our everyday lives here. Here, we could give our points of view and maybe build something together: directors, teachers and students. Second of all, you should explain the reason why you make a rule, students do not want to break rules, they just want to understand why each rule exist and understand that is not just a whim.

I hope you consider my proposals.

Best regards.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to<u> write a letter to the headmaster of your school explaining how to ensure discipline in your school.</u> I decided to write two different proposals for the headmaster but you have to write what you think could work best. It's important to follow letter requirements.
