Answer:
To my dear friend,
I am thrilled to tell you that I have won a scholarship to study abroad! While this is a very exciting opportunity, this will also be a very hard step for me to take. I am going to miss my family and friends terribly. I know I may always call or text them, but I'm so sad I won't be able to see them face to face. I will also miss my dog, Mr. Lady. Unfortunately, I'm unable to take him on this journey with me. But thank you so much for promising to care for him while I'm away! I'm sure the two of you will get along wonderfully. Please give Mr. Lady lot's of belly rubs for me! I must go pack my things now, but I'll write to you again soon.
Sincerely, your best friend
The changes and developments in Odysseus' character are an essential part of the story. All throughout his journey, he's presented with all kinds of adverse situations that lead him to adapt his personal qualities in order to overcome them and succeed.
We see this in the harm that pride causes getting in the way of his plan to surpass Polyphemus; after which he starts to become more resiliant and focused. Also in the hopelessness he felt trapped on Calypso's island; which after the escape injected him with a tremendous will-power that would lead him back home, as well as a renewed sense of pride in his own intelligence and abilities.
Hope this helps!
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
Read the excerpt from The Dark Game.
Mr. H. quickly began talking to his contacts in the city. Soon he heard of a British printer in Mexico City who had been falsely arrested for printing counterfeit money. Mr. H. Intervened with the British minister, who got the frightened printer released from custody and the charges against him dropped. The printer, overjoyed to be free, told Mr. H. that he would welcome the opportunity to repay the agent for his intervention. As a matter of fact, Mr. H. told him, there was a favor the printer could do for him
Which inference can a reader make based on the information in the excerpt?
A. Mr. H. knew the printer would help them upon release from prison B. Mr. H. was very concerned for the falsely imprisoned printer. C. Mr. H. and the printer had known each other for a long time. D. Mr. H. originally had not intended to employ the printer's help.
Answer:
A.) Mr. H. Knew the printer would help them upon release in the prison.
Explanation:
In the text above, we can see that Mr. H. needed the services of a printer and when he heard of one who was imprisoned, unfairly, he went to great lengths to free the printer. He did this with second intentions, because if the printer was falsely accused and someone released him, the printer would be very grateful and would not refuse to help that someone out of gratitude.
In other words, we can say that this excerpt shows us that Mr. H. knew that the printer would help them after their release in prison.
The topic sentence states this main idea.
