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.

Ever have your phone taken away for looking up something that involves your class lesson? If so then you will be happy to find out that it is good to use your phones or other technological devices. 
One reason classrooms should allow technology in the classes is that it can help kids answer questions without having to raise a hand or speak. As it says in,¨ Washington.edu¨, Smartphones are a quick and easy way to survey the kids,which can be good for instant polling, which can quickly assess students’ understanding and keep pace with the kids.
A second reason classrooms should allow tech in the classes is it can help the teachers grade faster and keep track of everything at the same time. As it say in ,¨Washington.edu¨, Course management tools such as Canvas allow instructors to organize all the resources students need for a class and  provide valuable grading tools to create space for more discussion.
One last reason why classrooms should allow tech in the classes is that it can connect to your class or teacher wherever you go. As it says in ¨Washington.edu¨ Online collaboration tools, such as those in Google Apps, allows students and instructors to share documents online, edit them in real time and project them on a screen to show the whole class what you did.
In conclusion, classes should allow tech becasue it can help the students learn better than paper.
