Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

English
2 answers:
nadya68 [22]3 years ago

This excerpt doesn't give much detail but I'm pretty sure this is Polyphemus speaking. He is a cyclops, and son of Poseidon. When Odysseus and his men were trapped in a cave with the giant man-eating cyclops, they plotted to blind him and escape. So Odysseus got Polyphemus drunk on some kind of wine and waited for him to pass out. Then they got a huge stick or branch, sharpened the end and plunged it into the giant's eye. One can easily surmise that Polyphemus would seek revenge for this, so answer B is definite. Answer A might be an additional factor, as Polyphemus does refer to him in this passage as "raider of cities"--indicating perhaps some disapproval--but the damage to his (only!) eye would be the most important issue, since that is personal.

Which event in the story initiates the rising action? in the monkey paws
masya89 [10]

The introduction and the history of the talisman is the initial rising action in the W. W. Jacobs short story, "The Monkey's Paw." The Whites inherit the paw from their acquaintance, Sergeant-Major Morris, who reveals the mysterious past of the shriveled hand. When he throws it into the fireplace, Mr. White retrieves it. Morris warns them to wish wisely before leaving for the night.
    The rising action continues as Mr. White makes his first wish.

    "I wish for two hundred pounds," said the old man distinctly.

Mr. White feels the paw move, and a depressing feeling of uneasiness falls upon the family for the remainder of the night. The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. White are paid a visit from the company where their son, Herbert, works. He has been killed in a grisly accident--"caught in the machinery"--and the Whites are offered a compensation of 200 pounds. Although it could be argued that this is the climax to the story, the action actually continues to rise a bit longer as the Whites exercise their second wish--for Herbert to be alive again. The rising action peaks when the Whites realize that their less-than-specific wish has an alternate possibility--that Herbert may be revived but in his deathly, crippled state.
