Why does Odysseus send out 3 men. What does he know about human behavior?

English

Answer:

When they arrived on the island of the Lotus-Eaters, Odysseus sent 3 men to scout the island for human life. After days of their absence, Odysseus himself scoured the island looking for them. He found the three amongst the natives. These natives were friendly and hospitable. They even shared their "Lotus" food with the 3 scouts. The food, however, was some sort of drug that made them forget all about their mission and their quest to go back to Greece and made them want to drown themselves in ecstasy on the island. Odysseus had to wrestle with all three of them and drag them back to the ship. He had to tie them down to the barrels of the ship and sail away as fast as the crew can.

What does this tell us about Odysseus? He would never forsake his crew members. He easily could have left the three there on the island and have  fewer  people to feed and consume their meager food rations. But Odysseus, being the ideal leader, took all measures just to save his crew members whom he knew depended on him.

What type of sentences are the secret to good writing?
Juli2301 [7.4K]
If you're a technical writer, "a" is the answer, and it's the only acceptable answer.

If you're writing fiction, there are no secrets. A combination of all of these answers make for good fiction. For the purpose of this question, I'll assume that only one answer is allowed, and say that "c" is the answer your teacher is looking for here, but I'm also going to explain why that's actually wrong.

The teacher is probably using the word "intricate" as a deterrent because they assume readers shouldn't have "complicated or detailed" things to read in a fictional writing because readers of fiction are reading for enjoyment. If they think intricate = bad, I'd really like to hear their opinion of T.S. Eliot's "The Wasteland," or any number of Modernist/Post-Modernist writings.

Dickens and others use complex and long sentences from time to time, and no one would say Dickens was a bad writer. Long, complex sentences can be used to create a certain flow to an event, or they can be used to intentionally disrupt the reader so that they have to focus more intently on whatever is happening. 

The exact same thing can be said of short sentences. If a writer wants to give speed to an event, they'll use short sentences. "He ran. Then he ran some more. His feet floated over the tile. He slammed the door behind him. The door knob jiggled. Then a bang. His eyes darted around the room, looking for an escape. Another bang. Nowhere to go. The door frame started to give way..." That's a bad example that I made up off the top of my head, but you get the idea. 

Emotional and playful is the most obvious answer because who doesn't like emotional and playful writing? Of course, if you're dealing with the death of a loved one, or any other serious moment, "playful" isn't a very good choice.

Select the correct texts in the passage.
Goryan [66]

Answer:

C) ranch.

D) limon

Explanation:

In literary terms, the setting of a story refers to the time and place where events in the story occur. Some words in the passage above gives the reader an idea of the place where the events in the story took place. The reference to the ranch which is a place where large animals like horses and cattle are reared helps the reader to know the setting of the story.

The response of the woman when asked the name of the ranch, which she answered as Limon also gives us the knowledge of the particular ranch where the plot was set.
