Odysseus is known for being crafty, clever and ingenious. Nevertheless, at some points, his deceitful and clever manners brought him more trouble than good fortune. A good example is the moment that he and his crew are captured by the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is “nobody” so that, when the former blinds the latter, the Cyclops cries that “nobody” had blinded him. The other Cyclopes think him mad. Odysseus and his crew manage to escape, but Odysseus can´t restraint himself and reveals his real name. Polyphemus prays to his father, Poseidon, the god of the sea, to take revenge on Odysseus, setting forth a series of unfortunate events on Odysseus´ way back home.
<u>Please select the word from the list that best fits the definition</u> -<u>Reading the summary first</u>- Survey. SQRW (the S stands for Survey) is a four-step strategy for reading/taking notes from chapters in a textbook. It helps to understand what you read and to prepare a written record of what you learned. To survey means to assess the information available. To survey a chapter, read the title, introduction, headings, and the summary or conclusion. By surveying a chapter, you will quickly learn what the chapter is about. <u>SQRW</u>:
- <em>Q - Question (you need to have questions in your mind as you read); </em>
- <em>R - Read (read the information that follows each heading to find the answer to each question you formed);</em>
- <em>W - Write (write each question and its answer in your notebook).</em>
