Answer:

a. Odysseus wanted to see her reaction.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" revolves around the journey that Odysseus and his men undertook to get back home to Ithaca. The journey lasted more then two decades after which Odysseus got safely back to his family and home.

In Book XIX we find Odysseus arriving back to Ithaca but disguised as a beggar. His son Telemachus knows him but then the rest of the people doesn't even recognize him, not even his own wife. Later on, he and Penelope talked of his journey and Penelope asked him lots of questions, testing him if he really had been with Odysseus. In return, Odysseus told her that he had been with him, describing him in ways that will make her believe his story. Then, he also told her that her husband is still alive and that he will eventually return. This is his way of testing her whether she had been faithful to him all these years or not, and also to see her reaction to the possibility of his return.

Pls help me. I will give brainliest.

Answer:

"tinkled," "shrieked" and "flitting."

Explanation:

"The Raven" has several instances of onomatopoeia, including the words "tinkled," "shrieked" and "flitting." While some believe that the raven's call of "Nevermore!" in the poem was supposed to be an onomatopoeia, it does not actually resemble a real raven's call.

How does forgiving yourself before you die then forgiving others connect to the world around you? (any responses are appreciated
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

Forgiving myself before I die and then forgiving others is actually something I am going through right now. My daughter and I had gotten into an argument and had not spoken to each other for several months. She suddenly became ill, was diagnosed with cancer and passed away in September 2020. This all happened within a matter of weeks. When I walked into her hospice room she was so happy to see me and all of our anger had disappeared; however, I will never get the time back when we both were so stubborn and did not talk for  several months.

My broken heart has taught me to forgive others for all of the negative stuff they have done to me or have said about me. I feel it is so very important that we all live without hate or negativity in our hearts and lives as life is so very precious and way too short to focus on the bad.

I have forgiven myself for all the wrong and negative things I have done in the past and try to focus only on positivity.

Explanation:

I hope this is what you were looking for and it helps you with your assignment.

A works cited list is enough documentation to avoid plagiarism. True False
dolphi86 [110]
False. even though you give credits to the writer for their work ( in the work cited) you  still cannot copy and paste the writers idea word for word. if one does that, even with a work cited, it is still considered as plagiarism <span />
