Mariulka [41]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

The text describes Polyphemus as a giant, one-eyed, wild, violent and man-eater. Polyphemus is a Cyclops and does not treat guests kindly, but devours them in the most violent way possible. This contrasts it with the way Odysseus and the men who accompany him are treated by King Alcinous. That's because Alcinous is impressed with Odysseus and treats him in the best possible way, offering him dinner, riches and even the hand of his own daughter.

This question is about the book "The Odyssey" which shows Odysseus' attempts to return to Itaca, his birthplace.

"Easter Wings," by George Herbert, was structured in what way?
alukav5142 [94]

Answer: A) Like an Easter egg with wings on the side

Explanation: The poem "Easter Wings" is a good example of a "shape" or "pattern" poem, which is the term used to describe the practice of writing poems whose physical shape mirrors their theme.

If you turn the poem sideways, you can see that the structure in which the poem has been written has the shape of two pairs of angel wings.
