Yes because he knew if he told them, they'd begin to panic and would stop rowing. It was a clever heroic move

Answer:

Yes, due the the circumstances and previous setbacks they faced.

Explanation:

In The Odyssey it is shown from the departure of Troy that the mental status of Odysseus' men was set to get back home after being away for so long.

But when their journey starts to have setbacks they affect this desire. Men's moral and attitude questioning how worth had been their adventure begins to be hit hard.

Odysseus made a real clever move here because he knew how much his men wanted to get back home, he, himself wanted the same, but he knew that if he had told his men about the monsters their moral would have crumbled into pieces and stop rowing just praying desperate for salvation instead of looking for a way out. This shows how well Odyseeus knew the human psyche and how would it react in moments of great fear making the situation absolutely worse.

Summarize the story Vera tells Mr. Nuttel which she says happened three years ago.
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

Vera tells the central character, Frampton Nuttel, that three years ago a great tragedy occurred in their family. According to Vera, Mrs. Sappleton's husband and two younger brothers set out for a day of shooting, and did not return. It was concluded that the three, along with their little spaniel, were engulfed in the treacherous bog; their bodies were never found. Vera tells Framton that her aunt, Mrs. Sappleton, speaks frequently about the day the three men and the dog purportedly met their demise, leaving the window through which they exited that day open, as if in expectation of their return. As Vera and Framton sit there by the open window, Vera shudders and tells the visitor that on "quiet evenings like this," she still gets a "creepy feeling that they will all walk in through the window."

Mrs. Sappleton comes in at this point, and, as expected, talks about her husband and brothers, whom she says have gone shooting but will be home soon, coming through the window as is their habit. Framton, who is in a delicate mental state, believes, because of what Vera has told him, that the men in question are dead, and that Mrs. Sappleton is delusional. Disturbed by the ghastly situation, Framton becomes completely unnerved when Mr. Sappleton, the two other men, and the spaniel do indeed appear at the window, and he bolts off in terror. Vera, of course, has misled Framton for her own amusement, and when the family wonders why their visitor has left so pricipitously, she dissembles further, saying that he was most likely afraid of the dog.
