While on the island of the Cyclops, Ulysses decides to stay because he is curious about the people who live there. He hopes to enjoy the hospitality of the island's inhabitants. Ulysses’s decision puts his men in danger when they are confronted by Polyphemus, who traps them in his cave and eats two of the men. Greed and pride drive Ulysses’s choices. Ulysses wants to enjoy the spoils of the island, and he believes that his reputation as a great warrior ensures that the people living on the island will welcome him. While he leads the men out of the cave, he lets his pride endanger the group one more time. While leaving the island, he shouts out his own name to Polyphemus to let him know that he, “Ulysses,” is the one who has blinded him. Now knowing the real identity of his attacker, the Cyclops pleads with his father, Neptune, the god of the seas, to punish Ulysses.
In the story of the Cyclops, Ulysses comes across as a clever leader and a brave hero who saves his men using his intelligence. However, he also shows his mortal failings in his desire for fame and glory, which puts him and his men in trouble at sea.
Answer:
Thomas Paine supports his idea that there is "no country on the globe" as capable of raising a fleet as America" by saying; see explanation
Explanation:
Thomas Paine supports this idea by saying that timber, tar, iron and cardage are America's natural produce, therefore America don't need to import any of that. But that the Dutch who makes profits by hiring out their ships of war to the Spaniards and Portuguese, imports most of the materials they use.
Thomas Pain used his persuasive ability in his pamphlet 'Common Sense" to present ideas that will make Americans fight for political independence from the Great Britain. He succeeded in convincing many Americans including George Washington to seek redress.

Answer:
To answer the question, one must define who the market is to the artist.
The fourth paragraph gives us a clue:
"...critics, dealers, gallery owners and museum curators whom they depend on for their livelihood."
Very clear isn't it?
So to the artist the market is made up of:
- Critics: an endorsement by a critic or a poisonous remark (if flipped) can give an artist the break they have been looking for;
- dealers: these category are more like brokers. Buying, selling and consulting on art works for a fee;
- owners of art works: These are direct 'consumers' for the artists products.
- museum curators: this category manage collections of works of art and artifacts in museums. They have sound knowledge of each art work and can also influence decisions during an auction by the museum.
Regardless of their dependence on the above categories of people, the text shows that the artist have a disdain for them.
A possible reason may be found in paragraph 5 :
<em>'In shredding “Girl With Balloon,” Banksy seems to be pointing to a central absurdity of his graffiti art being treated as fine art. When it appears on city streets, anyone can vandalize it; now that the same images are in galleries and auction houses, they must be handled with white gloves.'</em>
In simple terms, Banksy is saying that majority if not all artists don't have a complete say over how their work is valued. There is a system that decides this. And this lack of power or inability to insist on the true worth of their work is annoying.
Cheers!
