Answer:

The conflic between Odysseus and the Cyclops allows the reader to see Odysseus' cleverness and intelligence.

By telling Polyphemus that his name was "Outis" which means "nobody" in Greek, Oddyseus made sure that, when his plan to kill the cyclops were executed, Polyphemus could not get help from his fellow cyclops.

This is because, when they ask the cyclops what was troubling him, Polyphemus answers that "nobody" was killing him causing the other cyclops to leave without helping Polyphemus.

It reveals that Odysseus was a very smart man, and was able to figure out that if he told Cyclops that his name was Nobody, Cyclops would tell the other cyclopes, and they wouldn't help him because they would only hear: "Nobody was here!"

Has Eliezer's perspective on his father changed?

aev [14]

Answer:

At the concentration camps, Eliezer changed his past theories about his father and began respecting and loving him as a parent. Their love and relationship grew stronger as they continued to stay in the camps. In fact, it sounds funny that something awful can change people’s relationship for the better. The change experienced in their relationship is the ultimate power that saves them from self-centeredness and insensitivity that results from the need for self-protection
