The changes and developments in Odysseus' character are an essential part of the story. All throughout his journey, he's presented with all kinds of adverse situations that lead him to adapt his personal qualities in order to overcome them and succeed.

We see this in the harm that pride causes getting in the way of his plan to surpass Polyphemus; after which he starts to become more resiliant and focused. Also in the hopelessness he felt trapped on Calypso's island; which after the escape injected him with a tremendous will-power that would lead him back home, as well as a renewed sense of pride in his own intelligence and abilities.

Hope this helps!

Which of the following best describes the tone of Franklin’s writing?
Gemiola [76]

Assuming this question refers to the general writing style of Benjamin Franklin, we can say it is the following:

D. Humorous and relaxed.

Benjamin Franklin is known for writing witty, humorous pieces. He pokes fun at others as well as at himself.

Many of his writings were didactic, that is, aimed to teach readers something.

He also did not feel the need to write long, wordy texts. He would go straight to the point and often create aphorisms (brief sayings).

Does Swift wish to make Gulliver's attitude towards humanity appear acceptable? Why?
NemiM [27]
I think Swift does give the "okay" for Gulliver to act the way he does because he depicts Gulliver as this sort of courageous hero who completes these magnificent feats with his wit and bravery. Swift also builds up the fantastic characters and civilizations that Gulliver visits to be better than humanity by leaps and bounds. The stark contrast between these fictional civilizations and the people of England is so blatant that the reader can't help but be negatively biased toward the English. Gulliver acts as the intermediary between humanity and what humanity could be when he visits these lands, almost as a diplomat, when he inquires about their cultures and lifestyles and then goes on to explain how things work in England.
