rings the bow?

Then slid his right hand down the cord and plucked it, so the taut gut vibrating hummed and sang a swallow’s note.

A) harsh and strident
B) rhythmic and fast
C) flowing and harmonious

Answer: C) flowing and harmonious.

The excerpt compares Odysseus' use of the bow to a talented musician because of the flowing and harmonious skill he displays. The adjectives used convey an image of musicality and harmony. Some descriptions that contribute to this tone are: "with quiet hand," "a sweet new string," "effortlessly" and "sang a swallow's note."

Read this quote by author Isabel Allende:
fgiga [73]
She is speaking about times in which man becomes most desperate that in times where one is attacked, hurt or in a position from which something awful may occur they become their most powerful. This can be related to times where you struggled and found strength within yourself to do what you thought was impossible.
