Well, Odysseus was going to kill him, until he realized that the giant, named Polyphemus I believe, was the only thing in the cave strong enough to move the boulder blocking them from getting out. 

Hope this helps!

hat motivates Gatsby to display such unexpected and unexplainable hope? Do you think he truly believes that he can recapture the
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer: Gatsby still loves Daisy, and is deeply convinced that the two of them can live happily ever after. He is trying to recapture his life at the time the two of them were together.

Explanation:

Jay Gatsby, the protagonist of the novel <em>the Great Gatsby, </em>is motivated by his emotions. He still loves Daisy, his ex-girlfriend. This is why he organizes all of those parties, stares at the green light at the end of Daisy's dock, and asks Nick to organize their meeting. He is trying to recapture himself in the past, and his relationship with Daisy. To Gatsby, there are no obstacles that cannot be removed. Daisy, on the other hand, is a married woman now, and has a child - her life has completely changed since the two of them parted. Gatsby is, for her, just a beautiful memory. Gatsby, however, sincerely believes that he can recapture the past, which is seen in his conversation with Nick, his neighbor and the narrator of the story:

Nick tells Gatsby,<em> "You can't repeat the past," </em>while Gatsby answers, <em>"Why of course you can." </em>

Gatsby does not change his opinion, until the end of his life. As Nick describes it, Gatsby has <em>"an extraordinary gift for hope."</em>

How is symbolism used to convey Esperanza’s feelings?
zimovet [89]

This question seems to be incomplete. However, there is enough information to find the right answer.

Answer:

Both the trees and Esperanza have "skinny necks and pointy elbows", and both don´t belong where they are. The trees should grow in nature, not in a city. Similarly, Esperanza feels like she doesn´t belong in the neighborhood. Furthermore, the resilience of those trees that "grew despite concrete" symbolizes Esperanza´s resilience to persevere notwithstanding the impediments imposed by her being poor.

Explanation:

The question refers to the section Four Skinny Trees from the book “The House on Mango Street,” by Sandra Cisneros.

There, the four trees found in her front yard symbolize Esperanza´s experience of feeling like an outsider and wanting to reach out for something else.
