Answers with Explanation:

1. Compare the perspectives of the narrator and her first employers regarding wages.

The narrator in the story views wage as <u><em>an important aspect when applying for a job</em></u>, especially when it comes to immigrant labor. The first employers, on the other hand, views asking a question about wages a sign of disrespect. They told Anzia that instead of thinking about wages, <u>she should be thankful to be associated with the Americans. </u>

2. What does this comparison reveal about how they view immigrant labor?

The narrator views immigrant labor as something that will free her from poverty and oppression. She thought that moving to another country, like America, would allow her the freedom to express herself and earn just amount of wage. However, for the employers, immigrant labor is something they take advantage of. They thought that they're superior than the immigrants, that's why they treat them with <u>harsh labor</u> and <u>long hours of work</u>.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the essay entitled "America and I," written by <em>Anzia Yazierska. </em>It focuses on Anzia's struggles in adopting the lifestyle of American people.

The correct answer to this is:

The Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his size.

The similie suggests that even Cyclops is laying down he is still huge and looks like a mast among the sheep.

In the excerpt from Part 2 of the Odyssey, Cyclops is not compared to Zeus, rather the men are "lifting hands to Zeus" (praying) because they are being eaten and need help from Gods.

Also, Cyclops does not surrender, he is taking a nap as he is full after his meal.
