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

disappointment 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.

The answer is the line "Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine."

In the excerpt, "wine" means the idea of conversation, wit and charm. Odysseus beat him by talking and having conversation with him but in the end he tricked him.

I would say the correct answer is <span>B) He feels tied to the land and to the weather in which he grew up. The speaker feels free and unrestrained when he is in the open, at night, with the moon lightening up so he can see the endless horizon clearly. When forced to go back into the house because the summer is over, he feels confined and depressed.</span>

Write an essay on self-love.
pogonyaev

Answer:

I hold myself to high standards and knowing that I was comparing myself to other people made me feel less beautiful. It made me less confident and it led me down the road of self-destruction. My mind was filled with what I could do and be rather than what I am doing now.

I turned on Beautiful by Christina Aguilera and started singing and dancing and all that I was worried about was gone. My mind became clear.

Nothing in this life will be easy, we will cry, laugh, scream and be silent. What you do to get over that wall is what defines you. There’s more than one way over a wall! Remember that!

We learn after our hard times what it means to love ourselves whole heartedly and how important it is to look in the mirror and say to yourself, “You are beautiful.”

Thinking positive thoughts enhances self-love and confidence. See how I told you that I was comparing myself, those thoughts resulted in me feeling less confident. I put down the phone and did things that made me feel beautiful and competent.

Thinking positive is not easy! With everything we as women go through already, positive thinking takes a lot of discipline. Your body regenerates itself with new cells creating new thinking and new habits.

Practice positive thinking and start doing things that make you feel like you are enough. If you think you can change the world, you probably will be the one to do it. Put your social media to rest and appreciate what’s here, right now, in front of you.

There’s nothing better than maturing and knowing that you are enough. All that you have is what the Creator gave you. Nothing more and nothing less.

You are what the creator made you to be and that’s perfection. You are no mistake and the mistakes that you do make, help you become the person you were meant to become.

Think of this when you’ve hit a wall, I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be. That helps me not stress myself with where I am in life. Instead of us encouraging women to be and act what they see on reality shows, we should be encouraging our women to love what they see first. Then love what you do and carry yourself with dignity and know that no one can take that away from you.

Trust yourself and work hard. Life gives no promises; all that the universe recognizes is your energy. You give out good energy, you will be given exactly what you give out.

Hope this helps

Read the following passage from the beginning of Charles Dickens' 1854 novel Hard Times. In the passage, Mr. Gradgrind, a succes
Alexxx [7]

According to the text, one of the themes developed on the novel should be The Effects of Facts over Opinions on Children's Education. It is no wonder that facts are important to learn in order to build a frame of reference to construct one's own ideas, but the issue developed in the story comes when a powerful man wishes that children learn by facts alone. This practice will surely have a dramatic effect on the story, since at one point, the characters will realise the importance of considering other's opinions to generate proper and educated ideas to share.

The idea of The Impact of Private Companies on the Common Society should be included in the story as well, as it is a businessman that demonstrates the potential grasp of a few individuals over the livelihoods of many. For better or for worse, the ideas and experiences of one person can become the perceptive world for the rest if the right amount of power is possessed, and enough money is put on the table.
