Answer:

pride.

Explanation:

This scene, one of the most intriguing ones in the Odyssey, shows at once Odysseus´ pride and trickery, for in having successfully blinded the Cyclops, as he is making his escape along with his men, he yells at the Cyclops Polyphemus that it was him, Odysseus, who blinded him, but he doesn´t use his actual name, but an epithet that Homer uses in other passages to refer to Odysseus, and the epithet means “nobody”: the cyclops complains to other cyclops that he was blinded by “nobody”.

Pride would be your answer.

Odysseus' pride gets the best of him. Back then, you wanted people to know who you were by your achievements.

Novosadov [1.4K]

Courageous and determined

The lines are explaining how even though our hearts are beating, they are beating us all the way to the grave. The heart beat is compared to the rhythm of a funeral march with everyone stepping in time. The lines are showing hearts are beating courageously and with determination all the way to the person's death, which is inevitable.

How can the author's use of similes help to communicate a message to the reader? (Four sentences)
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Simile - a kind of description. A simile compares two things so that the thing described is understood more vividly, eg 'The water was as smooth as glass. A simile can create a vivid image in the reader's mind, helping to engage and absorb them.Generally, a writer uses similes to enable the reader to imagine in his mind what the writer is saying. This is why a writer compares one thing to another with which the reader is familiar. The speaker compares his love to a red rose that has just bloomed.Writers often use similes to introduce concrete images (like boxes of chocolates) into writing about abstract concepts (like life). Readers are more explicitly aware of the direct comparison that's being made with a simile compared to a metaphor, which is often more poetic and subtle.

hope it helps ya :-)
