Answer:

- their oral nature(pre-written word)

- there is no completely accurate record of who Homer(or any epic author) really was

- the numerous storytellers who regaled audiences with the stories

Explanation:

An epic is a story told or narrated in a big way consisting of heroes, armies, gods, demi-gods and the forces of nature that are located over sweeping landscapes. An epic usually tells of the heroe' s journey and achievements and failures or woes on the journey.

Epics are oral tales or poems that were narrated orally through traditional methods which were handed down from one generation to the other before they started writing them down. Most epics are mytholical histories that talk about great figures from history and historical events. An example of a historical epic is the "Trojan War".

Oral epic traditions are passed down from one generation to another. As epics are passed on the language and story is refined or fine tuned to suit each generation.

The authors of epic poems like Homer who wrote "Illiad" and "Odyssey" have conflicting records and information of their lives and times. The accuracy of who they really were is often conflicting.

What is the speaker suggesting in the lines below from Walt Whitman's poem
valkas [14]

Answer:

In this passage, Whitman is celebrating how the death and life of his self and his body are interconnected with the natural world.

Explanation:

When we die, the physical substance of the body—literally the molecules of the flesh—rot away to become once again a part of the natural world. But the same thing is true when we are living. We breathe in the molecules of the air, which become a part of us, even as they began as a part of other things. "Song of Myself" is all about these kinds of transcendent connections. Whitman is celebrating his "self" ("I celebrate myself, and sing myself"), but he's doing so by acknowledging the ways his self relies on the forces and energies and bodies of the natural and human worlds around him.

In Angela’s Ashes, which sentence in the excerpt does the author most likely use to express humor? Question options: a) “‘Do you
mina [271]

Answer:

I believe the best option would be letter C) Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa.

Explanation:

"Angela's Ashes" is a memoir written by Irish author Frank McCourt. The book is known to be filled with humor and anecdotes of McCourt's childhood.

At a certain point, Frank is hospitalized. But, due to his love of literature, he is constantly trying to communicate with Patricia. She is at the hospital too, and she has books with poems that delight Frank. When he is about to find out what happened to the Highwayman and his lover, the nurse comes in and yells, "I told ye there was to be no talking between rooms. Diphtheria is never allowed to talk to typhoid and visa versa." This line is quite humorous for the way it addresses people and diseases. It's as if people stopped being people and became the disease they had. Diseases don't talk; sick people do. But not to the nurse's eyes.
