Odysseus is known for being crafty, clever and ingenious. Nevertheless, at some points, his deceitful and clever manners brought him more trouble than good fortune. A good example is the moment that he and his crew are captured by the Cyclops, Polyphemus. Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is “nobody” so that, when the former blinds the latter, the Cyclops cries that “nobody” had blinded him. The other Cyclopes think him mad. Odysseus and his crew manage to escape, but Odysseus can´t restraint himself and reveals his real name. Polyphemus prays to his father, Poseidon, the god of the sea, to take revenge on Odysseus, setting forth a series of unfortunate events on Odysseus´ way back home.

The two men in this story are involved in a life-and-death struggle. However, the conflict between the barber and Captain Torres
sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

The conflict is whether to kill the captain while he was getting himself shaved.

The tension arose when the barber, who is an informer for the rebels, got the captain as his customer. The captain was responsible for the deaths of many of the rebels.

Explanation:

In the story <em>Just Lather, That's All</em> by Hernando Tellez, a Captain went to a barbershop to get a shave. And though the characters of the captain and the barber did not have any personal enmity between them, there seemed to be a tension in between the two. This is evident when we read further in the story.

Captain Torres was a rough and evil man who was proud of his acts such as killing the rebels. When asked further about his work, he proudly admitted to how he killed the captured rebels, and was also admittedly proud of his achievement. The barber, on the other hand, was an informer for the rebels and thus, the internal struggle while shaving the man's beard. This conflict arose when the barber knew his customer was responsible for the death of his fellow rebels, thus giving him ideas on ways to kill the man who seemingly doesn't know much about. He knows he can easily slit his throat and kill him, but he also did not want blood in his hands. So, he decided against inflicting any harm on the captain.

The tension was created by their opposing sides, one being a supporter of the rebels trying to topple the captain of his job while the captain was working to get rid of the rebels.

Check all of the items that are characteristic of a short story.
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

  • <em>Can be read in one sitting</em>
  • <em>Has one plot</em>
  • <em>Deals with a single problem. </em>

Explanation:

A<u> short story</u> is a narrative piece that presents ideas and themes in a lesser length. Since it has a <u>shorter scope</u> it must present <u>one plot</u>, deal with a <u>single problem</u>, avoid overcomplicating things, and should explore a precise theme through specific narrative devices. A <u>short story</u> rarely develops both main and minor characters, merely because of its length.

Novels, on the other hand, can develop both main and minor characters, and focus on multiple issues throughout the story.

BRAINLIEST PLS HELP
Stells [14]

Answer:

The Lego Ninjago Movie is perfectly adequate on the level of cartoon-driven entertainment. That’s all it sets out to be. And so by that measure, it’s a rousing success. But by the measure of the movie franchise it serves as the third installment for, it’s missing some critical pieces.
