Explanation:

Fahrenheit 451 is a dystopian novel by American writer Ray Bradbury, first published in 1953. Often regarded as one of his best works,[4] the novel presents a future American society where books are outlawed and "firemen" burn any that are found.[5] The book's tagline explains the title as "'the temperature at which book paper catches fire, and burns": the autoignition temperature of paper. The lead character, Guy Montag, is a fireman who becomes disillusioned with his role of censoring literature and destroying knowledge, eventually quitting his job and committing himself to the preservation of literary and cultural writings.

navik [9.2K]
The Supreme Court is essential to the balance of power in the United States because it is meant to offer an unbiased assessment of laws based on the Constitution. The Court can state that a law is illegal based on its reading of the Constitution, which of course is open to several different interpretations.

After arriving at the cave what do Odysseus men ask him to let them do plssss help. If you know this one what does Odysseus make
masya89 [10]

Answer:

After arriving at the cave, Odysseus's men ask him to let them steal some cheese and sheep.

Explanation:

<em>"When they saw all this, </em><em>my men begged me to let them first steal some cheeses, and make off with them to the ship; they would then return, drive down the lambs</em><em> and kids, put them on board and sail away with them."</em>

The lines above are spoken by Odysseus himself. The hero and main character of Homer's "The Odyssey" is talking of the time when he and his men arrived at the cave belonging to Polyphemus, a one-eyed giant.

Odysseus is on his way home after the war in Troy. However, having been arrogant and having defied the gods, Odysseus is punished. The journey home takes years and he and his men suffer a great deal. <u>In this particular episode, the Cyclops Polyphemus will even kill some of them for entering his cave. Odysseus later regrets no having listened to his men. All they asked him to let them do upon entering the cave was steel some of giant's cheese and sheep, and then leave. Since Odysseus wouldn't let them, they were trapped by the Cyclops.</u>

Note: In the excerpt, the word "kids" refers to the baby sheep.
