Odysseus must have thought about killing Polyphemus but rejected the idea for at least one reason. The main reason would have been that it was nearly impossible to murder the giant because they had no adequate means of doing it. If they had tried to stab Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, they might have only wounded him.

Hey there!

Odysseus does not stab Polyphemus, the Cyclops, because if he does, he will be trapped in the cave along with some of his men. A boulder is blocking the cave exit, and the Cyclops is the only thing strong enough to move it.

I hope this helps!

Witch stammer provides the best analysis of the passages symbolism
schepotkina [342]

The correct answer is B.The light represents Granny Weatherall's life.

Explanation:

"The Jiggling of Granny Weatherall" is a short story that focuses on Granny Weatherall as she is gravely ill and remembers important moments in her life including the time she was Jilted by a man called George.

Indeed, in the excerpt presented, Granny imagines once again she is waiting for George at the church, and neither George nor the priest is there "Again no bridegroom and the priest in the house." Also, at the end of this memory, Granny blows out the light, which is likely a symbol or representation of her own life ending with this last memory considering she is dying and due to this, she is remembering past experiences. Thus, there is symbolism in the passage because "The light represents Granny Weatherall's life."

in 75 words, discuss how the popularity of such works as benjamin franklins poor richards almanach and the way to wealth represe
Travka [436]

Benjamin Franklin's "The Way To Wealth" signifies the change from the "puritan plain" writing style to the "protestant work ethic" style. In fact, it wasn't just the writing style that changed, it was American values, traditions, nationalism, and culture that changed during this time as well. The popularity of The Way To Wealth showed that more and more Americans were concerned with higher levels of intellectual knowledge, than they did for futile religious dogma and rhetoric. Furthermore, Americans weren't so in love with being a colony of the British Empire, so this area in time also represented a gradual change in the American value of British nationalism, to American nationalism. Therefore, besides the fact that Americans were switching from the puritan faith to the protestant doctrine, they were also beginning to change their values in regards to education and British nationalism. The reason being, they no longer wanted education for the rich, but they wanted it for everyone and they weren't fond of being taxed like crazy by Great Britain.

HELPPP What does this speech reveal about the reason for Hamlet's attitude toward Claudius and his mother? does he resolve to do
MrMuchimi

Answer:

Hamlet Act 1 Scene 2

This speech reveals that Hamlet abhorred his uncle and mother's marriage immediately after the death of his father.  They could not even pay some respects to the dead by waiting some time before marrying.  In his heart, he questioned the reason for the hurry.

Though he could not clearly form the reason for the hurried marriage, he suspected that Claudius and his mother married so quickly to close the done deal of active participation in the murder of his father.

Explanation:

The Tragedy of Hamlet is a play authored by William Shakespeare (1599 and 1601). As Shakespeare's longest play, it was written to highlight the painfulness and misery of human life in the face of doubt and uncertainty.  Hamlet teaches us that acting shamefully only leads to more shame and regret.
