Answer:

He knows the men aren't strong enough to open the door.

Explanation:

In Book IX of "The Odyssey" by Homer, Odysseus is on the island of the cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Initially he and his men did not realize it was the cave of the Cyclops so on seeing the abundant food and drinks available, they feasted but was trapped by Polyphemus before they could go back to their ship. Polyphemus had used a big block of stone to seal the entrance of the cave, thereby rendering the mortals unable to escape. Odysseus could have easily killed him but he did not as he knows he along with his men alone aren't capable of moving the stone block that is used as the door. Besides, some of his men were already eaten by Polyphemus so he should use his wits instead of his strength in order to escape from the cave alive.

I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does
dedylja [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

I have trouble believing Mr. Sawicki's characterization of Steve, because he knows Steve only in school. Since Mr. Sawicki does not know Steve outside of school, he cannot make a judgment about what Steve has been doing in his neighborhood or who his friends are. Sawicki says Steve is honest, but even if Steve is good or honest in Mr. Sawicki's opinion, good people can still make mistakes.

What did you consider when you were writing your answer? Check all that apply.

what Mr. Sawicki says . what other people say . whether Steve is guilty or innocent . what Steve has said

Answer:

what Mr. Sawicki says

Explanation:

The answer shown in the text above was created considering only what Mr. Sawicki says about Steve. The answer states that Steve's characterization through what Mr. Sawicki says is not reliable. That's because Mr. Sawicki doesn't know Steve fully and only knows his behavior in one place, at school. Mr. Sawicki does not know anything about Steve and does not even know how he behaves outside of school, so he cannot say that Steve is honest. In other words, Mr. Sawicki's speech is imprecise, it lacks evidence and therefore cannot be trusted.

                  I know you have made a long way from our home to port harcourt, now you have grown big in your life. You can take your own decisions. You have a lot of freedom when you are at your own house, but over there you don't have an option but you have to stay with your uncle. Uncle are a very close relative to our family but then still, at the end its not your own house.

                 I want you to understand that you are really far away from our home, so we can't tell you do this do that, but its our responsibility to make you understand that you need to behave well in the city. Plus you are living with your uncle so you also need to give respect to his people in the house as well. Don't do anything that will cause trouble to your uncle. You also need to understand that it is a whole different country, different country means different rules different currency and different everything. Please be cautious of what thing you will do while you are there and take care of yourself. We all over here LOVE you!
