4 0

When Odysseus decides to leave Circe in Book 10, she helps him by giving him encouragement, knowledge about the future and concrete advice. When Odysseus hears that he must go to the House of Death, he feels despondent, but with the support of Circe, Odysseus feels he is able to lead his men to the Kingdom of the Dead with confidence. Circe tells Odysseus to trust the North Wind, and she also explains to him exactly what to expect when he gets to Persephone's Grove. This knowledge about the future is reassuring to Odysseus, as something frightening becomes familiar with Circe's descriptions. Finally, Circe instructs Odysseus clearly, telling him exactly what to do at different steps of his journey. As well, Circe tells Odysseus that Tiresias will appear to him and tell him how to get home, which may be the words of encouragement Odysseus needs the most.

What makes the speaker describe differently the springtime scene?
Butoxors [25]
The speaker describe differently the springtime scene because the spring is of different state compared to the current scene that he/she is describing. The current scene talks about the dead plants on the road during winter while the springtime signals the the coming to life of those plants. It is definitely a different scene that requires a change in the description to emphasize its entrance.
