Answer:

Homer addresses the muse in the opening lines of the epic, asking for inspiration in telling the story.

Explanation:

Homer is probably the author of "The Odyssey." He starts the story with a reference to the muse, where he addresses her in the very first lines of the work. He asks the muse to inspire him and tell him about Odysseus and the adventures he experienced on his travels.

Homer was Greek and when he refers to the muse, he is referring to the Greek goddesses responsible for art, literature and science, that is, he asks for protection from the goddesses for the work that will be presented.

Does poetry have power? If it does, define what kind of power? If it doesn't, explain why it doesn't have power?'
dalvyx [7]

While a definition of 'power' may be needed, one could argue that poetry has a specific type of power, related to the transmission of experience. Humanity's first approaches to culture communication were done on verse, in the form of poetry (as one can see on the different<em> chansons de geste </em>around Europe, Homeric poems and Greek theatre, and the folklore of orient, for example). Poetic language can transmit human experiences; it can, through the use of verse, of repetition and other poetic devices, cultivate the memory of a particular experience, moment or emotion in a way that prose, due to its to novelty and information, can´t.

To kill a mockingbird how does the setting impact the story
jarptica [38.1K]
The setting of the story, the deep south during the Great Depression, is very important to the story. Race relations hadn't changed a great deal from the 1930's to the late 1950's when Harper Lee wrote the novel, so she could write about a past time from a view into her current time. Blacks in the south were segregated as many southerners, like many people, did things the way their parents and grandparents did them and thought the way their parents and grandparents thought. In the 1930's, the Civil War was 70 years old, but the grandparents of adults during 1930's would have probably had a clear memory of it. People didn't travel much in the 1930's due to lack of money and lack of opportunity. People were much more provincial then than they are now because, in part, we have mass media and easy access to travel. That provincialism helped maintain the views of southerners from the Civil War through the 1930's and beyond. All of that information makes it easier to understand why some of the characters in the story acted the way they did, particularly the uneducated ones. The jury in the Tom Robinson trial was made up mostly of farmers who would have had a very limited education, so their prejudices ran deep. That doesn't excuse what they did, but it does help explain it. If the story had been set in a more modern time after the Civil Rights movement, there would have been less chance of a guilty verdict, no matter where the story was set. Also important to the story's setting is the fact that the story does take place in the rural south. These people were greatly and negatively affected by the Great Depression. Many of the small farmers, like the Cunninghams, couldn't make ends meet with what was grown on their farms. They were angry and bitter and sometimes that anger came out at any convenient source such as when the group of farmers planned to lynch Tom at the jail. The setting was essential to the story so that the reader could see how ignorance bred prejudice and enlightenment banished it.
