Answer:

The men will escape from the Cyclops’ cave.

Explanation:

The epic narrative of Homer's "The Odyssey" shows the whole journey of Odysseus after the Trojan War and his return back home to Ithaca. And during this journey, he encountered numerous conflicts and even the loss of his men's lives at the hands of the many gods and demi-gods they met on the way.

In Book IX of the text shows the scene where the men along with Odysseus had come upon the cave of Polyphemus. While waiting for the Cyclops to return to his cafe, the men hoped to get meat and some other necessities from him. So, when he did come back, and asked them who they are and how they came to be in his island, they replied that they were shipwrecked and had been washed ashore. This clever response of Odysseus ensures their safety and the safety of their ship which they will need for their future journey. Thus, we can determine that the men will safely escape from the cave and return to their ship. For with this reply, Polyphemus will think that they are stuck in his island and thus have nowhere to go or hide from him.

<span>Odysseus is not easily fooled.

Odysseus knows that the Cyclops wants to get hold of his ship, but is not going to be tricked into telling the Cyclops where it is.

It is clear that this quote shows Odysseus being clever because of the excerpt "</span><span>He thought he’d find out, but I saw through this, and answered with ready lie:"

Odysseus knows what the Cyclops is after and sees through his trick to come up with a crafty lie. </span>

How do you know that menchu’s father did not adovocate violence?
love history [14]
When thinking about a primary source, it is essential to consider the historical context in which that primary source existed. In this case, the interview in 1992 occurred on the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the New World. The anniversary served to highlight the plight of indigenous people half a millennium after the arrival of Europeans in the Americas. The other major event was the Guatemalan civil war, which took place from 1960 to 1996. During the civil war, the Guatemalan government fought against indigenous people, who resorted to guerilla warfare in response to massacres by the Guatemalan military. These two events are important historical influences upon Menchú at the time of her interview; note especially how the mention of Columbus and his legacy frames her discussion of the problems facing native peoples of Latin America.

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

It makes them feel as though there on equal footing or know each other.Mainly used when trying to achieve informality

Explanation:

Colloquial language is used in informal writing situations and creates a conversational tone. Everyday spoken language gives your writing a casual, relaxed effect. Colloquial language is not necessarily “wrong,” but it is used when a writer is trying to achieve informality.
