(20 POINTS!) Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer’s Odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone?

Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine The rights and honours of a power divine? Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace!) By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race! Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil. The speaker in the excerpt is (Neptune, Jove, Minerva). The tone demonstrates (concern about Ulysses safety in Ithica, hope for the safe return of the Phaeacians, anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithica safely). The answers are the options in parenthesis.

The speaker in the excerpt is Neptune. Neptune, in Roman mythology (although Greeks sometimes used their names too), is Poseidon in Greek mythology. He is the god of the seas, and he was one of the gods who was against Odysseus and wanted to destroy him - this is why it took Ulysses/Odysseus so long to come back home to Ithaca. The tone demonstrates anger at seeing Ulysses reach Ithaca safely. As I said, he wanted Ulysses dead, which is why he wasn't happy when he finally got home against his will.

What does Broder do to emphasize the academic rigor of the gateway to chollege program?
anzhelika [568]
Broder wrote about the Gateway to College program and the benefits it has for drop-out students. He argues for an education system that is modeled after the Gateway<span> to College program. He informs his readers about the privileges or advantages of how the program is structured. He also stated in his writing that the Gateway experiment suggests that even teenagers with few academic credits, grade-point averages and some personal problems, the challenge of a tough curriculum can be a path to success.</span><span> </span>

Why is Ponyboy finally able to realize that Darry loves him?<br><br> For The Outsiders)
Radda [10]

Answer:

As Ponyboy is passionately hugging Darry, he realizes for the first time that Darry had a silent fear of losing another person he loved. Essentially, Ponyboy misinterpreted his brother's affection and finally realizes that Darry loves him when they see each other for the first time after the abandoned church fire. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team

Explanation:

As the classic "big-brother-turned-father-figure" character, Darry shows his love for Ponyboy through a number of different actions. He displays concern for his education, and hopes that Pony will finish high school to accept opportunities he never had.

He also knows that the world beyond their doorstep is tough, and so he does his best to "toughen up" Ponyboy and the others. All this, while at the same time, Darry is overseeing Pony's advancements in school and in productive areas that will benefit him later in life. As the family fell apart and Darry was thrust into the position of head of household, we see that he carries the responsibility well, and sees after his own in a number of very caring ways.
