Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

English

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.

Based on the details in this excerpt, what is the author’s primary purpose? to show how people everywhere need help to show how
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

To show that cruel behavior is not limited to only one situation.

Explanation:

Elie Weisel's memoir Night tells his experiences during the Holocaust and the discrimination the Jews faced at the hands of the German Nazis. The book also became one of the most famous and important pieces of information about one of the most horrendous genocides in the world's history.

As seen in the given excerpt, the author narrates how he had witnessed a "stampede" kind of situation among the prisoners over a small piece of bread that a worker had thrown into the wagon. And similar to this event, he also recollects how an elegant Parisian lady had done "charity" work by throwing coins to the natives on the Aden which only led to the "natives" diving into the water to retrieve them. These two scenes seemed so similar to each other, leading Weisel to conclude that cruel behavior is not limited to just a single situation but could also be seen in numerous ones, however unlike they may seem.

Read the passage from chapter 17 of the prince. Nevertheless
Marysya12 [62]

The impact that the words <em>feared</em> and <em>hatred </em>in the chapter 17 of The Prince have on the meaning of the passage is that they suggest that a ruler who is feared can retain power, while a ruler who is hated is less likely to do so.

In this chapter, Machiavelli establishes an important distinction between 'feared' and 'hatred'. The author argues that a prince should make himself feared by the masses but not hated. Moreover,<u> he states that one way of avoid being hatred is leaving his citizens' property intact</u>. According to Machiavelli, it is important to avoid being hatred because, unlike being feared, <u>a hated prince is more likely to lose his power due to the angry masses</u>.
