English

ivolga24 [154]3 years ago
7 0

Answer and explanation:

Odysseus is the main character in Homer's epic poem "The Odyssey", which narrates his journey back home after the war in Troy. At a certain point, Odysseus and his men end up sailing to the land of the Cyclopes, a race of one-eyed giants. The Cyclopes are quite uncivilized and not the brightest creatures on earth. One Cyclops, Polyphemus, immediately kills two of Odysseus' men upon their arrival. When Polyphemus asks Odysseus where his ship is, he replies that it was shipwrecked, in other words, destroyed and sunk, off the coast. Odysseus is lying because he is afraid Polyphemus will indeed destroy his ship. To prevent him from doing so and to be able to escape when the time comes, he tells the Cyclops there was a shipwreck.

How do rusesabagina's words convey his feelings about the division between Hutus and Tutsis? From the book An Ordinary Man
IrinaK [193]
Rusesabagina said it was a quest for power and a fear of difference that motivated the massacre of the Tutsi's by the Hutu's in Rwanda in 1994 (like the Nazi holocaust) and the deaths of 800,000 Tutsi's could have been prevented if the UN peace keeping mission's pleas for support to disarm the Hutu's (as chronicled by Romeo Dallaire) had been acted upon.
