What motivates Odysseus to tell a lie to the Cyclops?

English
1 answer:
muminat2 years ago
5 0
He lied to him because he knew that the Cyclops would call his brothers, when blinded, so he said his name was "nobody" so as to have the Cyclops yell out: "Nobody has blinded me". This in turn caused his brothers to not react at all, because they thought that gods had blinded his brother, therefore he is yelling that Nobody blinded him. Let's say then that the third sentence is the only one that can fit the story.

lukranit [14]

Answer: C. They show the speaker's feelings and behaviour at the start of her marriage, when she was young and less mature.

The poem "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter" by Ezra Pound describes the transformation that a young girl undergoes when she finds a partner. At the beginning of the poem, the girl describes how she was timid, and how she kept her head down. However, as time goes by, she becomes more comfortable with her partner, eventually missing him terribly when he is away. The line describes the first stage of this relationship, when her shyness prevented her from being herself.

ella [17]

Answer:

Hurston's purpose in writing "How it Feels to be Colored like Me" is to assert her pride in being black. She pushes back against the idea, articulated by many of her black friends during the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s, that segregation and racial discrimination harmed the black soul and needed to be addressed.

What does a slippery slope fallacy do?
nataly862011 [7]

The slippery slope fallacy is something that many people fall into while writing something persuasive. This fallacy mostly happens when it is a primarily emotional argument with no factual support. The way it works is you make a claim that isn't entirely true, and then you base the rest of your argument on this point, even more "facts" off of this one slightly true fact you have stated. An example of this would be: "We can't allow people to go treasure hunting. By going treasure hunting people are more likely to trespass on other people's land in order to find treasure. By making trespassing less serious, people will start to loss their sense of other people's privacy. As you can see, if we allow people to pursuer treasure hunting, they will eventually start to break into other people's homes."
