Swear for a while I would stare at my phone just to see your name
But now that it's there, I don't really know what to say
I know you, you're like this
When sh*t don't go your way you needed me to fix it
And like me, I did
But I ran out of every reason
In the first passage, the best word to describe Odysseus is "cuirass". A cuirass is a type of defensive armor. Odysseus here has to be psychologically and emotionally armored for what is about to happen: the gruesome death of some of his sailor friends at the hands of Scylla, the mythical monster dwelling on the Strait of Messina. In the second passage the best word to describe Odysseus is "longing". The word is not only repeated several times, it is also the main theme of the passage, the pain of longing for a home that Odysseus has not seen in a long time.
Answer: D. Characterization
Literary nonfiction (also known as creative nonfiction, narrative nonfiction or verfabula) is a type of writing that uses various literary techniques in order to create historically accurate narratives. It is written with florid language and for entertainment, which is different from other types of non-fiction writing such as journalism.
Literary nonfiction still retains biographical and historical data, and it tries to maintain factual accuracy. It does not contain supernatural elements, as it is still a form of nonfiction. However, it does rely on characterization for entertainment and to make the story more engaging.
