Write a narrative essay about a place you have visited​
son4ous [18]

Answer:

This place is meaningful to me because it is part of the county I loved, is part of the county where I grew up and is part of my childhood. This place is in the country in an old region named Appalachia, a small piece of the Appalachian Mountains, in a town named Pikeville.

Pikeville is a polluted town because of the coal industry. People live in apartment or condominium buildings because of its little space available. I grew up in one of the many buildings in Pikeville admiring from my bedroom window the beauty of the mountains, always exploring with my eyes the forest or the meadows, looking for a clean and quiet place. And, I found one on a hill in the back of the town. It is about 100 feet square, it has seven old trees, wild flowers and a lot of bugs and ants during summer time.

I used to go there to sit down on a rock and watch the town and my trees. There was a very old tree, a maple tree, with a huge trunk. The others were smaller, three in the back, three on my left side and the old maple tree on my right. There were flowers, many kinds, white, yellow, purple and blue. It was nobody's place. Nobody owned that hill, but it was beautiful and peaceful and I dreamed many times about a white house over there.

I used to go there to be alone or to dream with my eyes open admiring the blue sky or the clouds. I liked to go there to lay down on the grass, listen to the wind, kiss the flowers and watch the leaves moving.

Which lines from the text best support this theme? "The wind that carried west from Ilium brought me to Ismarus, on the far shor
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

"I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."

Explanation:

Homer's "The Odyssey" is an epic narrative about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy, returning to their home in Ithaca. But the journey would take decades before they could set foot on the island, encountering mortals and gods along the way, who will pose as obstructions to their journey.

One characteristic of a leader is that a good leader takes responsibility for those in their charge. This theme is also found in this epic in the character of Odysseus when he marched the men he had sent to survey the land of the Lotus-eaters. When they failed to return safely back to the ship, courtesy of the Lotus that they were offered, Odysseus decided to deal with it on his own. So, he brought the men back and took them to the ship, ensuring that they are safely tied to the deck, and sailed out of that place before more of his men succumb to the lotus.

Thus, the correct answer that best supports the theme of such leadership quality is <em>"I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."</em>
