Who is the speaker in this excerpt from Book 13 of Homer’s Odyssey, and what inference can you make from the tone? Shall then no

Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil.

Answer:

Poseidon is the speaker and we may infer he is furious and frustrated.

Explanation:

Poseidon, the god of the sea in Greek mythology, tries to prevent the hero Odysseus from returning home after the war in Troy. One of the reasons why Odysseus is disliked by Poseidon is the fact that he (Odysseus) does not fear the gods. Odysseus is, however, much liked by Athena, the goddess of wisdom, for his wit and character.

When Odysseus is successful and finally arrives back at Ithaca, his home, Poseidon is furious. The god turns the ship in which Odysseus sailed into a rock and kills those who helped him.

His rage and frustration are expressed in the excerpt we analyzed here:

<em>Shall then no more, O sire of gods! be mine The rights and honours of a power divine? Scorn'd e'en by man, and (oh severe disgrace!) By soft Phaeacians, my degenerate race! Against yon destined head in vain I swore, And menaced vengeance, ere he reach'd his shore; To reach his natal shore was thy decree; Mild I obey'd, for who shall war with thee? Behold him landed, careless and asleep, From all the eluded dangers of the deep; Lo where he lies, amidst a shining store Of brass, rich garments, and refulgent ore; And bears triumphant to his native isle A prize more worth than Ilion's noble spoil.</em>

You should not use the authors' last names in the citation if the authors' names appear in your quote's signal phrase.
mariarad [96]

Answer:

True or False -  You should not use the authors’ last names in the citation if the authors’ names appear in the text.

Answer: True

Explanation below:

Explanation:

When it comes to English Grammar, a signal phrase is a type of phrase sentence or clause that often introduces a quotation, paraphrase, or summary. This type of phrase contains a verb together with the name of the person that is being quoted.  

It alerts the reader that something taken from an entirely different source is about to be used.  

Below is an example:

Daniel testified that he was not in the house when his neighbor’s dog died (13).

The author’s name is included and the page number in parenthesis.

So when the author’s name does not appear in the text, you should not use the author’s last names in the citation.

WHAT ARE THE SOUND SIGNALS DO YOU EXPECT TO HEAR FROM EACH OF THE TARGETS?
Pani-rosa [81]

A SIGNAL is any sound or message that is intended to be listened to, measured, or recorded in contrast to NOISE, which is unwanted sound.

Since sound signals complement their AMBIENT or KEYNOTE context in a similar way that figure and ground are related in visual perception, sound signals are always examined in reference to that context in SOUNDSCAPE investigations. As a result, studying signals also reveals vital details about the whole audio environment. For example, the level of emergency warning signals has increased in lockstep with the AMBIENT NOISE LEVEL of cities over the past century.

Any of the following methods can be used to research sound signals:

  • based on their acoustic properties, which may indicate a recognised code or other pattern pertaining to their use (see TYPOLOGY);
  • subjectively, by their personally perceived meanings;
  • historically, in accordance with their development within a particular social context (see MORPHOLOGY);
  • comparably, by type and function in different cultures or periods;
  • symbolically, in accordance with their connotative and associative meanings.

Sound signals are significant because they control community life and reveal its character. Those with historical value can be referred to as SOUNDMARKS. A sound signal's profile, also known as the acoustic space, can be thought of as its sphere of influence. With increasing background noise levels in contemporary urban areas, many community signals are becoming physically and acoustically less noticeable.
