Read the excerpt from "The Lottery." The morning of June 27th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-summer day; t

he flowers were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green. The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock; in some towns there were so many people that the lottery took two days and had to be started on June 26th, but in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery took only about two hours, so it could begin at ten o'clock in the morning and still be through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner. Based on the setting details in this excerpt, the reader is led to believe that the square in the village is a historical landmark that is guarded daily. the villagers are hungry and in a hurry to get home for their lunch. the June 27th date is an important tradition that occurs in summer. the lottery is shorter now that population of the village has decreased.

Answer:

C. The June 27th date is an important tradition that occurs in summer

Explanation:

"The Lottery" is a short story by Shirley Jackson which tells the story of the annual tradition of stoning a drawn person, which is believed necessary foor a good harvest that year. The ritual is held every year on June 27th and this excerpt establishes the importance of that date by showing people of the village gathering in the square.

Furthermore, in some bigger villages, the lottery starts the day before in order for the final draw to be held on June 27th emphasizing the significance of that date and importance of the ritual taking place exactly on that day.

My elephant is missing by kenn Nesbitt <br>what was the problem in the poem<br>​
Bogdan [553]
I cannot find my elephant.
He must have run away.
He isn’t on the sofa
where he promised he would stay.

I’ve looked around the living room,
the kitchen and the hall.
My elephant is missing
and I’m not sure who to call.

I’ll need to get a bloodhound
who can track him by his scent,
or hire a house detective
to discover where he went.

He isn’t in the basement
or the attic or the yard.
You’d think, to find an elephant
would not be quite so hard.

Perhaps I’ll make some posters,
and I’ll offer a reward.
I’d make it more, but fifty cents
is all I can afford.

If you should see my elephant,
he answers to “Jerome.”
Please tell him that I miss him
and I wish he’d come back home.

He knows the way. It’s up the street
and down our garden path.
And next time I won’t warn him
when it’s time to take his bath.

How does Odysseus handle his return to Ithaca? How much does he tell those he meets about his true identity and intentions? How
alina1380 [7]

Answer:

hi!

Explanation:

How does Odysseus handle his return to Ithaca?  

He acts in a cunning mansion using his skill and judgment. After returning to Ithaca, he often disguises himself to solve his own problems in the most efficient way possible.

The return of Odysseus to Ithaca with the help of Alcinous and the feacios. Odysseus shows satisfaction towards the feacios at this point and shows his gratitude by asking the gods to "rain all kinds of fortune" on them.  

Once in Ithaca, Athena throws a strong mist over the earth to hide Odysseus from recognition.  

Odysseus begins to explain that he is a sailor of Crete, Athena clearly knows that this is a lie, but understands that Odysseus still does not want to reveal his own identity.

This shows that Odysseus is intelligent and always aware of the consequences of his actions. Athena follows this story by adding that Odysseus is "witty" and explains to Odysseus that she has seen through his face.  

Odysseus respects Athena for his help in his return, therefore, he shows that he can be humble with others, especially with the gods.

How much does he tell those he meets about his true identity and intentions?

Book 16 shows Telemachus speaking to Eumaeus whilst he is with an unknown stranger, Odysseus.  

Athena emerges and tells Odysseus that it is appropriate to reveal his identity to his son in order to plot to kill the suitors.  

In this book, we see a vulnerable side to Odysseus’ personality as he is reunited with his son. Telemachus gives Odysseus the full details of the suitors plan in order for Odysseus to decide whether he can ‘take them on’.  

The contrast of Odysseus’ vulnerability to his warrior traits is significant yet shows how he can be loyal towards his family and want the best for them.

How much help does Athena give him?

Odysseus respects Athena for her help in his return therefore showing that he can be humble towards others, especially the gods.
