B. The suitors have no respect for the gods and continue to attack Odysseus.

<span>The suitors did not respect the gods; in fact, the suitors went beyond simply not respecting the gods and ventured into blatant disrespect by violating the gods’ laws of genuine hospitality. Odysseus even noted that “Contempt was all [the suitors] had for the gods.” Thus, it makes sense that, because of the lack of respect and willingness to disrespect the gods, upon learning that Odysseus is favored by the gods, the suitors are motivated to fight Odysseus. </span>

You know about Gatsby and Daisy in the past and present-but what about the future? Thinking about all you have learned about the

vesna_86 [32]

Honestly, I don't think Daisy will end up with Tom or Gatsby. Each of them has a flaw that just cannot be ignored enough in a relationship. Tom is too controlling, which is hardly even a relationship at all, and Gatsby, despite his sweetness to her opposite of Tom, wants to do something even more impossible: relive the past, as if the past is a swimming pool to jump harmlessly right back in. What Gatsby is deluding is too good to be true and Tom's personality is too poor to be true, which is why that infatuation will not last very long either.

Review the terms

Alien means something is completely foreign to you. You don't necessarily know anything about it while familiar means it's something you know well. I am familiar with the Hunger Games series because I've read it. However, I have never read Don't Cry so its alien to me. They are complete opposite words, they're antonyms.
