A simile will always use either the word "like" or "as" to create a comparison. It's important not to mistake the statement for a metaphor, which is a comparison that typically uses words such as "is" to connect the two topics or objects.
Agamemnon was the leader of the Greek troops in the Trojan wars and Orestes was his son. When Agamemno returned from the war, he was murdered by his wife's lover in conjunction with his wife. Orestes could not stop them but he seeked vengeance for his father. After a long time, he found them and avenged his father while killing them. He killed his mother, but Greek mythology claims that his act was just and he was spared the remorse and the guilt. There are a lot of similarities with the Ulysses/Telemachus father son pair. Ulysses was also one of the leaders of the excursion to Troy. He still has not returned home, but in a sense the suitors of Penelope are marring his estate and his reputation. While Penelope is faithful to Ulysses, the suitors by taking hold of the palace and committing their shameful acts are dishonoring Ulysses. In the same context, Telemachus is asked just like Orestes to restitute his father's honor, regardless of whether he is alive or dead. Athena is helping him and encouraging him with this example and he himself feels the need to save his father's honor.
The answer is C. We could not give her those glib
assurances that naive sold make so easily to others concerning their after
state. They could not assure her that there is life after death. Unlike other people would naively tell them
that there is, they could not.
The word that would most likely describe the voice of the book 'The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian would definitely be self-depreciating. Yes, the story is realistic as it is based on a true story but through out the whole book he is critical of him-self and uses humor to hide emotions and depreciate himself. This can be concluded from the text and the illustrations in the book.
Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or would like further explanation just let me know! :)
