In Book 9 of the Odyssey, Ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding Polyphemus. Which lines reflect the Cyclops's disappoint

ment at being defeated by guile and not by strength?
Oh heavens! oh faith of ancient prophecies!
This, Telemus Eurymedes foretold
(The mighty seer who on these hills grew old;
Skill'd the dark fates of mortals to declare,
And learn'd in all wing'd omens of the air);

Long since he menaced, such was Fate's command;
And named Ulysses as the destined hand.
I deem'd some godlike giant to behold,
Or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;
Not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,
Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine.
But come, accept our gifts, and join to pray
Great Neptune's blessing on the watery way;
For his I am, and I the lineage own;
The immortal father no less boasts the son.

How does F. Scott Fitzgerald use his characters and story to show the gains and losses in pursuing wealth and upward mobility br
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer and Explanation:

F. Scott Fitzgerald uses the characters to show how dreaming about something changes the entire psychological and emotional construction of an individual, leading him to the despair that makes him do anything to achieve that dream, even something immoral and improper. This is clear in Gatsby, who through his dream of social ascension, ends up taking very immoral attitudes, these attitudes are reinforced by his dream of being with Daisy. This quest for ascension and achievement becomes more and more desperate, because it seems increasingly distant, even though Gatsby has already achieved most of his goals. F. Scott Fitzgerald shows how uncontrolled despair, guided by desire, can cause tragedies and irreparable losses, as happened with Gatsby, who so much pursued his goals in non-commendable ways, had a sad and undesirable ending.

Answer: She is worried about the well-being of her son among an angry group

Explanation:

Sally's point of view told by the excerpt is that "she is worried about the well-being of her son among an angry group".

This can be deduced when she spoke in a whisper, after she noticed how angry and antagonised the crowd was when she told her son not to speak the way he was speaking.
