<span>The prophecy said that Polyphemus would be defeated by a man named Odysseus, so obviously he was expecting someone huge and strong to fight with him, but when Odysseus defeated the cyclops using his brains only, he was really surprised because he underestimated his power</span>

I need to know some quotes about learning a language
stealth61 [152]
Alright! So, some inspirational quotes on learning a language. Here's what I found, from a "Voxy Blog."

❝If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his own language, that goes to his heart.❞

❝One language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.❞

❝The limits of my language are the limits of my world.❞

❝Learn everything you can, anytime you can, from anyone you can; there will always come a time when you will be grateful you did.❞

❝Learning is a treasure that will follow its owner everywhere.❞

❝You can never understand one language until you understand at least two.❞

❝To have another language is to possess a second soul.❞

❝Those who know nothing of foreign languages know nothing of their own.❞

❝Language is the road map of a culture. It tells you where its people come from and where they are going.❞

❝Language is the blood of the soul into which thoughts run and out of which they grow.❞


I hope this helps you, and if you're trying to learn a new language, I wish you luck! :)

Which statement is a theme of "the yellow paper"?
babymother [125]

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social critic and feminist writer in the United States of the period from the 1890s through the 1930s. In The Yellow Wallpaper, originally published in 1899, she presents the internal dialogue of a woman diagnosed with hysteria and for whom total rest has been prescribed. In the short fiction, the patient is slowly driven mad by her cure, cut off from any intellectual pursuits whatsoever.  

Though The Yellow Wallpaper is a work of fiction, it was based on Gilman's own experience after being diagnosed as an hysteric and prescribed a "rest cure" which prohibited her writing and labelled her feminism and social critique as symptoms of uterine illness. Gilman recovered from her "cure," and went on to write influential social theses, including Women and Economics (1898), and a feminist utopian novel, Herland (1915), which has become a classic of American women's literature.
