Answer:

The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.

Explanation:

Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -,  dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.

What is the theme of the story, "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field" by Ambrose Bierce?
stich3 [128]

Answer:

I believe the theme of the story revolves around truth and how it can be defined or changed by those who have more power.

Explanation:

Ambrose Bierce's "The Difficulty of Crossing a Field" is a one-page short story. A man named Williamson is crossing a field when he suddenly disappears. However, only two people are listened to and believed when it comes to this strange fact - Mr. Wren and his son. But most importantly, Mr. Wren and his son are white men who own some land. Williamson's own wife and the slaves working on the field are not listened to or believed at all. The wife is even said to have lost her mind. The inferiority of Africans and women is clearly shown - and let's make it clear that Bierce is criticizing such an action. Everyone saw his disappearance, everyone came up with different explanations to it, but the woman and the slaves were not considered worthy of being heard and trusted. The "truth" in the end is something chosen, established by a few.
