Odysseus and his men encounter the land of the lotus eaters in Book Nine. Now, after being carried in the sea for nine whole days they land on Lotophagi on the the tenth day. Of course after all that time on sea, Odysseus and his men would grow hungry. So, before further continuation of their journey they ate. Soon after, Odysseus sent out three men to explore the island. Inevitably, they encounter the “Lotus-eaters,” who were the people of Lotophagi. They were rather kind and never wanted to cause harm. Now, again, the lotus-eaters ment harm to no man, so they offered Odysseus’s men a lotus. Although, the men of Odysseus had no knowledge that whomever ate the honey flavored fruit would no longer long to return home, or would no longer care for things that were once sacred to them. No, instead when one devoured the taste of a Lotus, they’d only crave for the taste of even more Lotus. Thus, after Odysseus men ate the Lotus, they forgot of their important mission; To return to Ithaca. Odysseus then has to force his onto their ship, so they can return home.


This short summary of what happened on the land the is called Lotophagi, proves that the correct answer to this question is b ) Some of Odysseus's men taste the lotus fruit and refuse to leave the island. Odysseus takes them back to the ship by force.

Answer:

Hi

The dowry as a legal institution represents a protection of the parents towards the daughter, as a right that granted although it consists of goods that affect him delivered to help in the marital charges, but it really was a family legacy; in the understanding that it was the money, the properties or the goods that the father granted to his female daughters, the patrimony that corresponds to the woman and is an indispensable requirement so that he can contract the marriage, with the purpose that the woman assures the welfare of his widowhood, also as a possible vehicle for the transmission of wealth to his new kinship nuclei.

In a context when talking about giving means to provide a portion of the family wealth that another woman was not allowed to obtain her inheritance, a way of guardianship, at a time belonging to the father of the bride who when delivering it in marriage passed a portion of the family assets to the new family to which the women who took the married life were incorporated.

joja [24]

Answer: Their wages wouldn’t even get them out of debt to my grandmother, not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary downtown.

Explanation:

By stating that the town's cotton pickers had wages that could not even get them out of debt with their grandmother, Maya Angelou infers that the cotton pickers were paid meagre salaries which meant they were poor people who were even in debt with the White Commissary downtown which probably supplied them with their farming equipment.

<em>I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings</em> is an autobiography of Maya Angelou depicting her life as a child growing up with her momma ( grandmother).
