The correct answer is A. Racial injustice in the post-Civil War era
Explanation:
W.E.D. Du Bois was an American civil rights activist and writer, indeed during his life, Du Bois supported equal rights for blacks and opposed discrimination and laws that were against them. Besides this, he was mainly known for his essays "The Souls of Black Folk" and "Black Reconstruction in America" to show racial injustice after the Civil War as well as the role of black people in the reconstruction.
On the other hand, Booker T. Washington was an educator and author that supported rights for blacks but different to Du Bois he considered equality could be achieved through entrepreneurship rather than directly attacking laws against discrimination. Additionally, like Du Bois, he wrote about racial injustice in the time especially in his book Up from Slavery. Thus, both authors wrote about their experiences to expose racial injustice in the post-Civil War era.
In regards to the Ancient Greek Poem by Homer called "The Odyssey", the cyclops curse made it so that Odysseus would never make it home, but in the unlikely case that he did, it would take him so long that he would lose all those close to him. This would make life incredibly hard when he got home. The poet included this to most likely illustrate the stakes that were involved for Odysseus which would influence his actions.
