I’m not sure the text, but thx for the points mate, good day.
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.

Answer:
From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs
The claim is "I am a cripple."
Explanation:
This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.
Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.
Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.
