Read paragraph 5 from Chapter 1 of I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou and answer the question. The town reacted to

us [Angelou and her brother Bailey] as its inhabitants had reacted to all things new before our coming. It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless (and children) it closed in around us, as a real mother embraces a stranger’s child. Warmly, but not too familiarly. What words in the above excerpt demonstrate a humorous or lighthearted tone?

This excerpt could be considered humorous because of the way in which the events are retell and because of the choice of words. their arrival is portrayed in such a way that the reader might think, it could have a deeper meaning. For example
"<span>It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless" This might be understood as a fun way of expressing that people were all over them, to check who they were, they pay close attention to these "new people" until they were convinced they are fine. </span>

If Odysseus wasn’t a good hero what could’ve happened to him, his wife, his son and his kingdom? What was Odysseus able to do. B
shtirl [24]

Answer:

well for starters he may have never even made it back to his wife because it takes a heros traits to go through all that peril and still make it home. If he didn't prove himself or have the smarts, his wife would eventually have to have married off to another man that was more suitable to rule the kingdom and Odysseus would loose everything that he owned. It was because he was a good hero that he became the king in the first place and he also survived many dangerous encounters. This includes the Cyclops, Polyphemus, Circe who almost turned him into an animal but ended up helping him instead, and then also how he returned home, claimed what was his, and killed all the suitors that had tried to takes his position and wife. Also, the fact that he was some amazing war hero who proved his worth showed that he truly deserved his positions and he wasn't questioned by anybody when he took it back. His son probably would have been used as a slave or normal warrior. Maybe even killed so that there were no possible men to take over the throne with Odysseus gone.
