When Odysseus goes to inspect the cave that he later learns belongs to the Cyclops, Polyphemus, he brings with him a goat skin bottle of dark wine that was given to him by Maron.
Odysseus does not agree with the men stealing food from the cyclops Polyphemus's cave not because he believes it is a moral wrong, but because he believes that if the men meet Polyphemus and request shelter, the cyclops will offer shelter and a valuable gift, as is the social and religious expectation in Odysseus's world.
In the end Odysseus’s men were correct and Odysseus’s plan goes completely awry when Polyphemus appears and attacks and eats some of Odysseus's men. Polyphemus does not observe the social norm of hospitality, as he does not believe himself to be subservient to the gods, such as Zeus, who favor humans who observe hospitality. However Odysseus manages to blind Polyphemus and escapes the island with the remainder of his men. Odysseus let his overconfidence overshadow the cautious suggestion of the men to sneak off with the food from Polyphemus's cave.
what steps has Gatsby taken to ensure this reunion day is perfect?
He's had way too many flowers delivered, had Nick's lawn mowed, and is wearing a white suit with silver shirt and gold tie.
Hopes this helps :)
Answer:
Poetry, because it is useful to people
Explanation:
According to Moore, Poetry is important because it is useful to people.
Marianne Moore which is also known as Marianne Craig Moore was an American modernist poet, translator, critic and editor who was born on November 15, 1887 and died on February 5, 1972.
She received so many notable awards which includes Bollingen Prize, National Book Award, Pulitzer Prize, National Medal for Literature.
Marianne Moore as said earlier is a modernist poet who isn't afraid of acknowledge that modern poetry can sometimes be a little off-putting. The speaker of "Poetry" tells us that she doesn't really fancy poetry, but she also wants to talk it out and solve or find an answer to the question on why one might keep going back to poems.
