Answer:

Odysseus made it sound as if "nobody" stabbed Polyphemus in the eye, so the other cyclops let him go.  The curse that is revealed a the end of his encounter with the Cyclops foreshadows Odysseus's difficult journey.  

Explanation:

The clever word play:

Odysseus tries to outsmart and taunt the Cyclops at every turn, first by getting him drunk on wine and then by telling the Cyclops that his name is Outis, which means nobody. This is so that when the Cyclops is telling the other giants who injured him, it sounds like Polyphemus is shouting "Nobody" stabbed him in the eye. This confuses the other Cyclops who may have otherwise tried to help Polyphemus catch Odysseus.

The Curse:

Odysseus and his men sail away from the island by tricking the now blinded Cyclops that they were part of the herd of sheep that Polyphemus was tending. The curse comes when Odysseus decides to try to taunt the monster further and shouts out his real name.  What this does is reveal his identity and allows the Cyclops to curse Odysseus in revenge. Polyphemus prays to his father, the great Poseidon, asking that Odysseus's journey back home to Ithaca be fraught with the loss of his friends and his ship.

Does Hansberry succeed in creating real people rather than racial stereotypes?what does she teach us about the American dream fo
AnnyKZ [126]

Hansberry manages to create real characters that did not match the racial stereotypes of the time. With that, she showed that to achieve the American dream, black people had to face many tensions both with the white community and with the black community.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Lorraine Hansberry was a black American writer who was able to observe how the black community, its afflictions, and its struggles were represented in literature, film, and theater.
  • This representation was full of stereotypes, incorrect and prejudiced information.
  • She changed all that when she wrote "A Raisin in the Sun."

That's because in "A Raisin in the Sun" she put black characters as protagonists, and presented real characteristics that portray black people in society in a realistic and non-stereotyped way.

She showed how the American dream was difficult for black people, due to conflicts with white society and conflicts even within the black community.

galina1969 [7]

The excerpts from "The Storyteller" which indicate that the aunt is unaware of her flaws begin with "It's a very difficult thing..." and "A most improper..."

<h3>What happens in "The Storyteller"?</h3>

In "The Storyteller," by Saki:

  • An aunt and her nieces and nephew travel by train.
  • A bachelor is in the same carriage as they are.
  • The aunt tries to keep the children quiet.
  • She tells them a story with a moral lesson at the end.
  • The bachelor tells them another story, which contradicts the moral lesson.
  • The aunt is furious at the bachelor.

The aunt in "The Storyteller" is unaware of her flaws. She does not understand that, to keep the children quiet, she must find ways to entertain them. That is precisely what the bachelor does.

The aunt complains that it is difficult to tell children stories. However, she also criticizes the bachelor's story, saying it is improper. She does not admit that the bachelor told a better story than she did.
