“Howe is now weaker than before, and every shot will contribute to reduce him. You are more immediately interested than any othe

r part of the continent: your all is at stake; it is not so with the general cause; you are devoted by the enemy to plunder and destruction: it is the encouragement which Howe, the chief of plunderers, has promised his army.”
Why is the repetition of “you” in this sentence an effective rhetorical technique?

Question about the Odyssey “nobody” in greek is outis, which sounds like odysseus. in his conflict with the cyclops, how does od
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

Odysseus made it sound as if "nobody" stabbed Polyphemus in the eye, so the other cyclops let him go.  The curse that is revealed a the end of his encounter with the Cyclops foreshadows Odysseus's difficult journey.  

Explanation:

The clever word play:

Odysseus tries to outsmart and taunt the Cyclops at every turn, first by getting him drunk on wine and then by telling the Cyclops that his name is Outis, which means nobody. This is so that when the Cyclops is telling the other giants who injured him, it sounds like Polyphemus is shouting "Nobody" stabbed him in the eye. This confuses the other Cyclops who may have otherwise tried to help Polyphemus catch Odysseus.

The Curse:

Odysseus and his men sail away from the island by tricking the now blinded Cyclops that they were part of the herd of sheep that Polyphemus was tending. The curse comes when Odysseus decides to try to taunt the monster further and shouts out his real name.  What this does is reveal his identity and allows the Cyclops to curse Odysseus in revenge. Polyphemus prays to his father, the great Poseidon, asking that Odysseus's journey back home to Ithaca be fraught with the loss of his friends and his ship.

Temka [501]

Answer:

Scientists have often wondered what bellybutton lint is made up of. An Austrain chemist named Georg Steinhauser decided to find out, and since he had a belly button, he searched himself! He examined over 500 pieces to see what the lint has occupied. He found that it has cotton from clothes, AND dead skin, sweat, basically the stuff our body resists and extracts. Goerg Steinhauser found all this out within a teeny tiny part of your stomach.
