tolykos, dead now, though living still when I took ship for holy Troy. Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias. Soon from the dark that prince of Thebes came forward bearing a golden staff; and he addressed me Great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. But anguish lies ahead

The answer would be <u><em>'Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias'</em></u>.

In the original sentence the speaker is desolated after seeing the ghost of a beloved one, most likely, his mother.  The expression he used 'held her off' means that he did not speak to her simply because he was waiting to feel the presence of a different ghost: Theresias'.

The word see in both the question and the answer can be compared with one another, as well as ''didnt speak with her'' and ''held her off''. <em>Both stating that despite seeing the ghost it had been ignored. </em>

Why did medieval writers sometimes employ gender role reversals?
Ksenya-84 [330]
Back in the medieval times women weren't treated as equals, they were supposed to be beautiful and useful, they were to clean the household and cook the food while taking care of the children, the men were supposed to go out and hunt and work and make money doing so, in the kingdom the women were wenches mostly except the queen, the queen was respected, and the princess was respected swell but forced to marry whom ever her parents chose and they had to be a prince. The gender roles are their because everyone thought that women were useless and weak and only good for baring children, cooking, cleaning, and raising children, and they also thought that men were strong and equipped with the abilities to go and and be knights and fight for their kingdom and their lives, that is also why we have gender roles now, a lot of people still think women are good for all the same reason likewise with men, and so the writers would sometimes employ these gender roles in their stories to go along with how it worked back in the old times.

Which statement best explains the historical contradiction about women that Woolf describes?
yuradex [85]

Answer: b.) Women filled the pages of poetry but earned little attention in history books.

Woolf was one of the most significant figures in early feminism. One of the reasons why this was the case was that Woolf noticed the secondary place that women had in society, and in particular, in writing. She argued that women were only recognized in areas that were considered "feminine," such as poetry. However, their contributions were unrecognized or altogether forgotten in other areas, such as when writing history books.

i need the whole plot map of pie by Sarah weeks so someone please tell me what it is i need when, where, and general environment

Well the exposition is when Jeremy decides who his enemy is, and describes the details of his current life. Rising action includes his struggle to make an enemy list and talk to his enemy. The climax is when he decides that his enemy list is obsolete. Falling action is when he trashes his list and invites everyone for pie. Resolution: They eat pie. Even if I got the story wrong, all stories follow a suspense pattern that is similar.
