b.his reflection seems to be a part of the war memorial wall.

In the poem, the speaker is visiting the Vietnam Veteran's Memorial and sees his reflection in the granite. This immediately eliminates option A and D. In the lines, he says, "I'm stone" and "my clouded reflection eyes me". Both of these lines indicate that the speaker feels as though he is inside of the memorial. We don't know from these lines if he feels trapped in the war.

Read the excerpt from Woman in the Nineteenth Century by Margaret Fuller. Yet, then and only then will mankind be ripe for this,
Natalka [10]

by insisting that everyone with a soul deserves rights


In the excerpt she says that "if the negro be a soul, if the woman be a soul...to one Master only are they accountable." Throughout the passage, Fuller uses various ways to insist that everyone deserves rights. She strengthens her arguments by comparing women's rights to those of the negro. She uses her arguments to show that if an African American should not be held in bondage, neither should a woman. It doesn't matter your race or gender, if you have a soul, you deserve the same rights as everyone else.

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.
