How does the author's inclusion of the "Goddess” contribute

English

d1i1m1o1n [39]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The word "Goddess" refers to freedom, which is part of the main theme of this poem.

Explanation:

In this poem by Phillis Wheatley, the fight for freedom led by General Washington can be seen as the main theme.

The author of the poem uses the word Goddess to emphasize this meaning, because that is what freedom is: a great "Goddess", the one who frees us and lets us live in peace.

Let's look at the following quote from the poem:

<em>Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side, </em>

<em>Thy ev'ry action let the Goddess guide. </em>

<em>A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine, </em>

<em>With gold unfading, WASHINGTON! Be thine.</em>

EXERCISE 1
ipn [44]

Answer:

After changing the pronoun focus, the sentences can be:

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise because it helps one lose weight and improve one's cardiovascular systems while one enjoys being outside in the fresh air.

(Alternative answer - see the explanation below)

Walking is one of the best forms of exercise because it helps people lose weight and improve their cardiovascular systems while they enjoys being outside in the fresh air.

Explanation:

When writing formally, we must avoid permeating our texts with sentences that are too personal. Formal writing demands impersonality, which makes it sound more trustworthy and unbiased. Therefore, using the first person "I" should be avoided. One way to substitute it is by using the pronoun "one", as we did in the first answer above. Some people find it difficult to use "one". If that is the case, we can always use "you" or "people". These do not sound as formal as "you", but are still less personal and informal than "I".

Which is NOT true of xenia as it pertains both to the Greek culture and to The Odyssey? Failure to show xenia, both within the b
Juli2301 [7.4K]

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>.
