Direct characterization is when the author directly tells readers
of some trait or characteristic of a character instead of letting readers
conclude anything about a character based upon a character’s actions. If we look at all of the possible answers for
this question, all except speak of actions that lead readers to determine
characteristics. One, however, blatantly
speaks of how old a person is. With the
words, “a man in his early forties,” the author directly tells readers about
the character, thus, the second answer is an example of direct
characterization.
Answer:
It is based on obligation, not on friendship.
Explanation:
Xenia is an ancient Greek belief/ concept of extending hospitality to others, especially strangers. It is this belief that will hold many respectable relationships in Greek culture and even still practiced by some people in the modern world.
In both the Greek culture and the book "The Odyssey" by Homer, the concept of Xenia is presented or practiced. The question is asking which is not true of this concept, so the <u>concept that is not true will be that Xenia is based on religious obligation and not friendship</u>. This is false because, <u>Xenia is based on both religious and friendship obligations, not just one alone</u>. Xenia allows people to be hospitable to one another which can continue for generations, thus, merging with the friendship obligation.
The<u> failure to show xenia can incur the wrath of Zeus is true for Zeus is believed to be the patron of the very concept</u>.
<u>Xenia involves the reciprocal guest-host relationship of hospitality is true because it is about the two parties' relationship of showing hospitality towards one another</u>, the host waiting for the guest to be comfortable before he can ask questions and the guest has to make sure they do nothing wrong against their host. They are also expected to show the same hospitality whenever needed in the future.
<u>Odysseus violated the code of xenia on the island when he was a guest of the Cyclops Polyphemus by stealing his property and hurting him</u>.

Imagery is the figure of speech used when the author wants to describe objects, situations and actions in a way that stimulates the reader's five senses, allowing him to hear, see and feel the characteristics of the description. We can see an example of imagery in the lines above, as the author describes features in which the reader knows the sensation and can feel it again when reading the lines.
