Answer:

Epic simile is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The question refers to this excerpt:

"Then thus the king: “Shall I my prize resign

With tame content, and thou possess'd of thine?

Great as thou art, and like a god in fight,

Think not to rob me of a soldier's right.

At thy demand shall I restore the maid?

First let the just equivalent be paid;

Such as a king might ask; and let it be

A treasure worthy her, and worthy me."

The Iliad is an epic poem by Ancient Greek poet Homer and it is about the Battle of Troy. A simile is a rhetorical device used to explicitly compare two things; words like as or like are used to indicate this comparison. In the excerpt, the writer used this device in the third line, Great as thou art, and like a god in fight, so it is the correct answer.

How do gender, race, ability, and class issues shape the way we view others and interact

GaryK [48]

Answer:

Okay well to start off, this is a very important, and sick world. By sick, I mean the fact so many people get abused, hated, tortured, disliked, and whatever you want to call it just for being black or white and their gender. Now there's so many genders, not just boy and girl, it is jot that person's fault for being trans or anything. Judging something or someone by how they look is just sick in this world because everyone and EVERYONE matters and at the end of the day they are human beings just like us. Also, if you hate, bully, or abuse, that don't make you any of a better person. Instead, it's showing you that some people can be hateful and cruel in this world for something someone can't control. Gender, Race, Ability, and class helps us view each other by knowning to love and show kindness no matter what. It makes us a better person as 1 so we can build a better world. At the end of the day, we are all the same. At the end of the day, whatever you do and whatever you say, even if you didn't mean it or did, you still said it and that can cause harm in many ways you don't know.
