<span>Demodocus </span>is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.
Demodocus first appears at a feast in the hall of Alcinous, after he approved that Odysseus should be provided with a ship for a safe passage home. During the feast Demodocus sings about the disagreement between Odysseus and Achilles at Troy. Everyone enjoys the singing except for Odysseus who bursts into tears because of the pain and suffering of which the song reminds him.
I think informal? Family members commonly use slang :)
Answer:
Some literary devices here are similes and metaphors. I'm sorry for only providing 2, if I can spot a third I will let you know. An example of a simile in the poem is "When harsh words cut like a knife". Comparison using terms such as "like" is a clear demonstration of a simile. An example of a metaphor in the text is "Hiding in the Internet's shadows". Notice how hiding in the shadows of the internet is not possible in a literal sense, but lacks the usage of terminology like "like" or "such as" "as a" that a simile would provide. Good luck!
Explanation:
I believe the correct lines are:
2. "…it creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation
that leads to mudslides…"
4. "…a pollutant that contributes directly to climate
change."
In this excerpt from “A Cooking Revolution: How Clean Energy
and Cookstoves Are Saving Lives” written by Chef Jose Andres, the lines from
the passage best support the author's concern with environmental activism are: "…it
creates an unsustainable pace of deforestation that leads to mudslides…"
and "…a pollutant that contributes directly to climate change."
These lines best support authors concern for environmental activism
as they describe the outcome of the cooking using firewood, coal and or dung –
deforestation and climate change, which later affect other realms of our lives (such as our health).
