Answer:

B. To enable the reader to visualize the ferocity of Santiago's foe.

Explanation:

In Ernest Hemingway's "The Old Man And The Sea", the endurance and experience of the old fisherman was in direct contrast with his victim, the marlin that he had caught. The experienced old man battled with the fish in his attempt to keep it under control but later lost almost all except the bones to the sharks.

Hemingway provided detailed description of the shark attacking Santiago's marlin. The shark was a <em>"fish built to feed on all the fishes in the sea, that were so  fast and strong and well armed that they had no other enemy"</em>. Santiago also admitted the shark "<em>had no fear at  all and would do exactly what he wished"</em>. The detailed description of the shark enables the reader to visualize the shark's ferocity against the old man's experience yet old age.

what cultural values are shown in the speech odysseus gave after he had blinded and then escape the cyclops?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The belief that Zeus and the other gods are supreme over all things and that helping strangers, extending hospitality to the guests was a popular belief in Greek custom which Odysseus is referring to in his speech.

Explanation:

Homer's epic "The Odyssey" is the story of the protagonist Odysseus and his journey back home to Ithaca after the Battle of Troy. The book contains the numerous obstacles and encounters he had during his journey back.

The given excerpt is from Book IX of the epic where Odysseus and his men had stolen food and sheep from the Cyclops Polyphemus. The Greeks believe in the custom of extending hospitality to their guests, even strangers. So, in this speech by Odysseus, he alluded to the <u>issue of hospitality where instead of extending help and service to the strangers</u> who had come to his home, he (Polyphemus) ate them and hurt them. This is the cultural value that is shown in the given excerpt.
