Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, by ancient Greek poet Homer, is the second part of The Iliad, and it tells the story of Odysseus trying to come back home after the War of Troy.

In the excerpt, the speaker describes Oddyseus' men using negative words as "mutinous" or "fool," also, he suggests that the actions were caused by not taking good care of their own situation. Rhetorical devices as simile (compare two things) are very important to persuade the reader (shambling like cattle) how difficult the situation was.

Can you make a paragraph about this please?
Tema [17]
Possibilities.. ever been offered an opportunity of a life time? or a chance to better yourself..? there will always be possibilities. However it’s all about how you approach them. In your life time there has possibly been hundreds of opportunities you blindly ignored everyday. It’s so important to keep an open mind, be brave and take chances or you may just... miss out on that “life time opportunity”. You’ll never know the outcome till you take that opportunity.. you want to run that marathon? but “it’s too cold” you want to go on that date but you’re “to nervous” stop making excuses and start living take that opportunity and do it for yourself. That feeling of accomplishment will always be worth it and you’ll never experience it till you stop making excuses, you owe yourself that much.
