Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever? I had the happy thought to set up weaving The country wives would hold me in dishonor So every day I wove on the great loom and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

<span>and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

This sentence shows that Penelope is clever, because her ruse, her plan to delay the suitors, worked for three years. The idea to weave by day and unweave by night was a good one, but it only is clever if it actually works, which we know it does by this sentence.</span>

What is the theme of “The Show Must Go On”? How do specific details shape the theme and affect Tessa’s attitude as the story pro
Readme [11.4K]

Answer :

The story "The Show Must Go On" is named after a popular phrase in show business  which means that no matter what the circumstances the show or film that has been put together should be played or filmed for the waiting audience. The story aims to teach us that even though certain people and situations may initially appear as problems when they enter our lives, we should be optimistic and treat them as opportunities to better ourselves and our work. In the end, we may not get exactly what we wanted in the first go but we will understand that all persons and situations enter our life for a specific reason.

In "The Show Must Go On" Tessa is initially upset on being paired with Varick who is neither similar to her nor related to someone famous as she had desired but is instead a Midwestern boy who has never left his home in Ohio. However, as the story progresses Varick turns out to be a blessing in disguise for Tessa. He teaches her that we should make the most of every opportunity that comes our way. She was aghast to discover that he had an open-ended design for his script that he wanted to develop spontaneously as he filmed for the program. She considered his ideas as a waste of a golden opportunity. As the story progresses, Tessa begins to appreciate her partner's viewpoint when things do not exactly go as she had planned them.

In the fourth week, Tessa reviews her footage to discover that her film is a complete opposite of what she had thought. She is filled with envy when she discovers that Varick's film which she had greatly underestimated was looking way better than her own work. Varick had utilized the obstacle of the storm and captured the thunder laden sky in a breathtaking way. Moreover, instead of rushing through the special effects like Tessa he had made it a point to minimize the side effects and made the best of every situation. After this incident, Tessa realized the importance of being spontaneous and going with the flow as the same methods that she had disapproved of had produced far better results than her own. She becomes friends with Varick and shares and discusses her work with him. In the end, her film is saved when she learns to turn the obstacle of refusal from the museum into an opportunity to film the runners as they pass the museum. The judges appreciate her film and she learns that  "The Show Must Go On".

Can you explain what is annotated bibliography essay <br> In your oppinion
Anna [14]

Hello!

An annotated bibliography consists of two things: your sources/citations, and summaries.

To write an annotated bibliography essay, you need to cite your source and write a brief summary about what the source is talking about. If you have multiple sources, you must cite and summarize each of them, mentioning their key points.

For example, if you found an interesting article in a magazine, you could cite the article, and then write a brief summary about what the article was about in your own words.

I hope this helps you! Let me know if you have any more questions!
