Answers with Explanation:

1. What is at least one character trait of Odysseus and explain how he demonstrates this trait with a textual example.

One character trait of Odysseus is "courage." Even if he was just a mere human, he fought against a giant like "Cyclops Polyphemus." He was brave enough to enter the cave of Cyclops in order to save his men. He wasn't afraid to die, though he described Cyclops as a "horrid creature, not like a human being at all." He even risked his life to get the attention of Cyclops so it could drink the wine, which could make it weak. Then he and his men struck the eyes of the Cyclops and this he stated in his story to the Phaeacians,<em> "So we seized our stake with its fiery tip  and bored it, round and round in the giant’s eye till blood came boiling up around..." </em>

2. Compare the epic hero of Odysseus to a hero in your life today. This could be a person you know or someone from a movie or book.

If I were to compare Odysseus to a person in my life, I would say my "father." Just like Odysseus, my father is courageous enough to win in any situation, just so he could send all of us (since were are seven siblings) to school. He never thought of himself and always look forward that his kids will have a better future. Odysseus was, similarly, the same with my father when it comes to taking care of his men and his family. <u>Both of them are courageous enough not to surrender in any situation.</u>

mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: Throughout the story “The Interlopers,” Saki develops the central idea of friendship and revenge. He does that by showing the transformation from the desire of revenge of two long enemies to a friendship when they are caught together in a difficult situation. Both of them get caught beneath branches in a land that has been in dispute for generations in their families. The feeling between them transform from wishing the other was dead to wanting to leave the past behind and restart as friends.

The first hint of their transformation is when Ulrich offers Georg his flask of wine. "Could you reach this flask if I threw it over to you?" asked Ulrich suddenly; "there is good wine in it, and one may as well be as comfortable as one can. Let us drink, even if to-night one of us dies."

Even when Georg refuses it, an idea begins to form in Ulrich's brain, out of the empathy of being in the same situation and suffering the same pain. "An idea was slowly forming and growing in his brain, an idea that gained strength every time that he looked across at the man who was fighting so grimly against pain and exhaustion. In the pain and languor that Ulrich himself was feeling the old fierce hatred seemed to be dying down."

Ulrich then decides to make his men help Georg before him if they show up first."If my men are the first to come you shall be the first to be helped, as though you were my guest. [...] Neighbour, if you will help me to bury the old quarrel I - I will ask you to be my friend."

What revolution is referred to here​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The French Revolution (French: Révolution française  began in May 1789 when the Ancien Régime was abolished in favour of a constitutional monarchy. Its replacement in September 1792 by the First French Republic led to the execution of Louis XVI in January 1793, and an extended period of political turmoil. This culminated in the appointment of Napoleon as First Consul in November 1799, which is generally taken as its end point. Many of its principles are now considered fundamental aspects of modern liberal democracy.[1]
