Alfred's voice represents his love towards singing and his attachment towards his grandparents jukebox.

<u>Explanation:</u>

‘Hugging the Jukebox’ is a poem written by Naomi Shihab Nye. This is a poem about a young 6 year old boy, Alfred. He lives on a Caribbean Island with his grandparents. The poem depicts how despite being so young, Alfred sings the songs from his grandparents jukebox.

By hearing him sing in such a fluent way, his grandparents are surprised. By this we can figure out that Alfred’s voice represent his love and passion for singing. It can be stated from the fact that despite his grandparents trying to keep him away from jukebox, he’s still attached to it. Even while sleeping he hugs the jukebox.

How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus causes his crew’s demise?
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

Odysseus' haphazard travels, loyalty to Zeus, his physical weaknesses, and also his ignorant assumptions lead to his and his crew's demise.

Traveling in many voyages throughout the vast seas, Odysessues repeatedly exemplifies a sense of irrationality and irresponsibility. Because of his inability to become an embodiment of the meaning of a true leader, Odysseus' risky endeavors put the lives of his shipmates in danger.

Odysseus' unfaltering loyalty to the god Zeus also contributes to how Odysseus leads his crew to their demise. Odysseus fails to recognize the important moral values, prioritizing Zeus above all else, thus leading to the demise and destruction of his crew.

Moreover, Odyssseus also displays his physical weaknesses, such as the natural human nature to fall at the mercies of temptation. One of the most prevalent examples of this trait is shown when he is about to leave the Cyclops;  foolishly and egotistically, he proclaims his name, thus enabling the Cyclops to curse him and his crew.

Alongside his ego, recklessness, and unquestionable loyalty, Odysseus also becomes overconfident in his abilities and his inventory and friends. His crewmates are not only his crew, but his companions, as they have faced many harships together throughout their voyages. His ignorant and asumptuous nature belittles others, causing anger and conflicts with the others. With the Cyclops, he had expected the utmost hospitality. Since the Cyclops do not abide by the same rules as Odysseus, the Cyclops is angered, causing a brawl. Odysseus disrespects and severely injures the Cyclops, which causes the Cyclops to call out to his father Greek god Poseidon to curse Odysseus and his voyages and crew.
