1 answer:

6 0

Odysseus is one of the few husbands who is told to have been loving and respectful to his wife. At the time he was wooing her, Helen was also on the market, yet he liked Penelope better because she was strong and smart, like him: when the suitors came to her after Odysseus had been gone so long, she came up the plan of telling them she would choose a suitor once her shroud was finished, but every night, after working all day on it, she would undo her work, putting of her choice. He has the chance for immortality and love (sex) with Circe, but turns it down in order to get home. Perhaps the best example is when Odysseus first takes her to be his wife and is driving home, when her father, Laertes, stops them and tells Penelope he wishes her to stay with him, and not go far away. Since Odysseus is the man, it is actually his choice, but, completely uncharacteristic of men in mythology, he allows Penelope to choose whether they stay with her father, or go to live in Odysseus' home.

THE AUTHORS DRAW A CLEAR CONNECTION BETWEEN HINDU VEGETARIANISM AND THE CONCEPT OF HOT AND COLD FOODS. DESCRIBE HOW THIS COMPARI

bulgar [2K]

While it might have seemed like a good idea for Sultan Singh to start an egg business, the population of India is largely vegetarian due to religious reasons and does not eat eggs so the business failed.

Explanation:

Hot and Cold foods are described locally and known intuitively by many people who follow the Hindu religion. Eating habits are based on the demarcation.

Cold foods are not eaten after sunset as they induce cold and fever it is believed. These include curd, fruits and even rice which is served hot.

Any other type of staple food is believed to be hot and can be eaten throughout the day.

The Singh business did not run because of the strict eating habits of Hindu of which the above is a great example. These habits include not eating non vegetarian food on certain days for even the people who do. Thus a non vegetarian business finds it hard to function in a Hindu majority region.

Reread Sonnet 30 by William Shakespeare. How does the speaker behave and feel in the poem before he thinks of his “dear friend”?

aev [14]

Answer: 1. He feels and behaves depressed and regretful about his past actions and thoughts. 2. The thought of his "dear friend" compensates his losses and his sorrow ends. 3. Because by changing his tone he makes emphasis the fact that his "dear friend" was indeed the light of his life.

Explanation: Shakespeare conveys a very sad and depressing message in the sonnet, regretting how he failed to achieve his goals, wasted the best years of his life, and crying over the loss of his friends. We can see this in the following lines: "I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought, then can I drown an eye, and with old woes new wail my dear time's waste.

Nevertheless, in the lines "But if the while I think on thee, dear friend, All losses are restor'd and sorrows end", he acknowledges his "dear friend", and the sonnet makes a twist. He emphasizes that thinking of this person relieves all his guilt and pain, making then, a tribute to them.
