Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own "Ithaka" or in this sense, one's life end or goal. "Ithaka" here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

According to the poet, it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.

THIS IS AN ESSAY, HELPPP! What attributes does Beowulf display in the story that reflect the values is the time?

NemiM [27]

There is no doubt that Beowulf was created to be a great Ango-Saxon warrior. This is because it exhibits characteristics that reflect many cultural values from the time it was created.

First of all it is necessary to remember that Beowulf was the archetype of the masculine vision of the time. At that time they had very well-defined gender roles and stated that Saxon men should be like strong Beowulf, warriors, courageous and protective. This would bring honor, glory and respect, which were characteristics stimulated at that time.

Furthermore, Beowulf shows to be violent in battles, this again reflects values of the time, since it was a time of many bloody and violent battles, where the winners were exalted in their communities.
