Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. In a smithy one sees a white-hot axehead or an adze plunged and wrung in a cold tub, screechi

ng steam– the way they make soft iron hale and hard—: just so that eyeball hissed around the spike.
The use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps the reader understand
-that the Cyclops only has one eye.
-how brutal Odysseus and his men are.
-the size of the wooden spear.
-how hot the spear actually is.

The answer is: how hot the spear is.  

An epic simile, or Homeric simile, is a comparison between something familiar or ordinary and something strange. It is usually many lines long and it helps the reader make the scene described, usually at moments of turmoil or battle, more vivid. In the epic simile above, Homer makes the reader understand how hot the spear that blinds the cyclops is by comparing the eye of the cyclops to a cold tub as the spear that blinded him penetrates it, just like a piece of metal would enter a tub in order to be molded.

mariarad [96]

Answer:

I would choose Hawaii which is in the Pacific Ocean because pictures from the islands look like it is enjoyable and has a lot of things to do. It looks beautiful and the ocean is clear and warm. It is not disgusting like other beaches in the world.

In Hawaii u can see and do a lot. One of the many things is seeing views like the mountains. You can hike on them and look at the beautiful landscape at the top. You also can do any water games like water skiing and if you fall off, it wouldn’t be cold because the ocean is so warm.

Some of the accommodations are the enjoyable beach houses that are on the beach so all you have to do is walk out the backyard to get to the beach. They have restaurants that have tropical drinks that make it even better. They have resorts that have rides and water games.

Out of all the islands of Hawaii I would choose Hawaii to visit because it has the most tourist attraction and best activities. Hawaii also is the biggest and has the best views of volcanoes and mountains to see. Hawaii also has better restaurants and resorts that you can go to and see.
