Hi. Your question is incomplete and this makes it difficult for me to answer it. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find another question just like yours. This question asked you to show which two central ideas of "Homer. The Poet for All Ages" support popular belief about Homer. If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
The central ideas that show popular beliefs about Homer, presented in the text, can be seen in the two excerpts below:
- "One legend says that long ago in Greece, a blind poet, Homer, wandered from city to city and earned his living by reciting poems."
- "Some people believe that such a poet really lived, and that he composed the Iliad and the Odyssey himself and recited them in the cities where he stayed."
"Homer. The Poet for All Ages" introduces the poet Homer and his incredible ability to compose stories and poems in a millennium epoch. Homer is highly recognized and admired even today, but his life is a mystery, many people believe he didn't even exist, but many people believe not only that he was real, but that he was the author of "Iliad " and "Odyssey." This belief is strengthened through the legend that there was a Greek poet, who although blind, had a great ability to compose stories and made a living telling these stories and reciting poems.
Summary:
In 124, Beloved is still alive and well, quietly following Sethe around. “Tell me your diamonds,” Beloved says to Sethe one day after Paul D has gone to college (69). Sethe is initially perplexed, then recalls Mrs. Garner giving her a pair of crystal earrings. As a slave, Sethe was not able to have an extravagant wedding when she was about to marry Halle. She did, however, make a wedding gown out of scrap materials. Mrs. Garner surprised Sethe with a pair of crystal earrings as a wedding present when she found out. Sethe waited until she was free to have her ears pierced by Grandma Baby Suggs so she could wear the earrings.
As Denver inquires about the earrings, Sethe responds cryptically that they are "long gone" (71).
The three women run off, drenched from the storm, on another day. Beloved asks Sethe, "'Your woman she never fix up your hair?" as Sethe insists on unbraiding and combing Denver's hair (72). Sethe folds the laundry carelessly as she remembers her mother on the farm where she was enslaved before coming to Sweet Home. Sethe's hair was never repaired by Sethe's mother, as she was needed to work in the fields. Another woman came to nurse Sethe on a regular basis. Her mother took her to a smokehouse one day and showed her a scar under her breast with a circle and cross burned into it. "If anything happens to me and you can't tell me by my face, you can know me by this label," she told Sethe (72).
. Her mother took her to a smokehouse one day and showed her a scar under her breast with a circle and cross burned into it. "If anything happens to me and you can't tell me by my face, you can know me by this label," she told Sethe (72). Sethe did not realize that this symbol was provided by their master as a sign of possession at the time, and she demanded her own mark so that her mother would remember her as well. In retaliation, her mother slapped her across the cheek. Sethe's mother was then hanged and so on.
