1. Why do Odysseus's men refrain at first from
amid [387]

Answer:

At first, Odysseus and his men refrain from eating the cattle because they all swore an oath not to eat any cattle. The situation changed when they were on the island because they were starving and trapped there for a month. Don't forget that it was Eurylochus who convinced the men to eat the Cattle of the Sun: "it's better to die at sea from the wrath of the gods, he said than to die of hunger."

I hope that helps! If you need more contextual evidence, it should be in the book.

Lynna [10]

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator claims to have killed the old man because he hated the appearance of the man's eye. However, his murderous actions are actually a reflection of his madness.

It has been said Sojourner Truth was a trailblazer for feminism and women civil rights. How is this reflected in Ain't I a Woman
nikklg [1K]

Answer and Explanation:

In his speech, Sojourner Truth pointed to the exclusion of the cause of black women in emerging feminist movements. She says that feminist movements did not give space to black women, did not let them speak and did not address their problems. In that case she asked "Ain't I a Woman?"

Truth said she was prevented from speaking, by feminists, lest the feminist cause be confused with the black cause. According to her, this episode was very wrong, since white women claimed that feminist movements should seek to break the concept of women's fragility in relation to men, who forbade them to work and have freedoms. However, Truth affirmed that black women were never seen with fragility and never had freedom in the same way, being necessary that they also be included and heard.
