Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever? I had the happy thought to set up weaving The country wives would hold me in dishonor So every day I wove on the great loom and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

What is the effect of McKay's use of the pronouns she and her to refer to America?
juin [17]

McKay personifies America as a woman who feeds him "bread and bitterness" and who sinks her "tiger's tooth" into his throat. By using the pronouns she and her to refer to America, McKay turns the concept of a country into a person who can cause the narrator harm even while he loves her. The effect of this personification turns the relationship between the narrator and his country into a more personal relationship, full of the conflicting emotions that come along with loving a person.

The first paragraph

Caesar was beloved by many after the war he was looked upon as a god by his supports and soon decided to do things his own way and well Brutus wanted to be in charge because he is jealous of Caesar. So Brutus convinced the council that Caesar will betray Athens or wherever he lives and bring it to the ground and he’ll run off with the money so the council and Brutus came up with a plan to kill Caesar. Caesars supports loved him and think of him as a god and causes the conspirators to come up with the plane and get rid of him for good.

Second paragraph

The conflict was later resolved by all of the council coming together and murder Caesar at the council, each member came and stab Caesar and the final blow came from Brutus in which Caesar looked and say “e tu bruta” or something like that which translate to you too Brutus and he died. After they killed him Brutus and the other conspirators ran away from authorities but was later captured and killed
