The answer is: Anticleia is explaining why Odysseus cannot embrace her.

In the excerpt from "The Oddysey," Odysseus travels to the underworld, where he finds his mother's spirit. She tells him she has died of sadness, while waiting for him to go back from war. However, when Odysseus wishes to embrace his mother, he finds out her body is not composed of matter - it has no material existance and his arms pass through her. Anticleia is extremely upset, and explains that ghosts have no physical solidness.

The leap by Louise Erdrich what statement best expresses the theme of the short story
maxonik [38]

Answer:

The clearest theme in “The Leap” is presented by the title itself, that of bridging gaps, making connections between things. Physical, temporal, and emotional connections provide a thread that runs through the story. The most obvious are the two physical leaps made by Anna, as a trapeze artist, to save herself and her children from fire.

He takes the example of the Fall of man to show that every beautiful thing can be turned down.
