Another synonym of the word cunning is trickery. The caption used the word cunningly because Odysseus actually devised a trick to get free from the hostage of the Cyclops, Polyphemus.
- In the story, "The Odyssey," we learn of Odysseus who was a warrior. He entered the cave of the one-eyed giants known as the Cyclops.
- His men advised him to quickly take milk and cheese from the cave and escape but he refused to heed their pleas. Polyphemus captured him there.
- To escape, he passed a wooden rod through fire when Polyphemus was away caring for his sheep. When Polyphemus came back, he got him intoxicated and told him that his name was "Nobody".
- When drunk, he drove the rod through the eyes of Polyphemus so that when the other cyclops came to inquire what was happening, Polyphemus told them that "Nobody" was killing him.
- Clinging to the belly of Polyphemus' sheep, Odysseus made his escape from the cave.
- Conclusively, all of these were acts of trickery that demonstrate how Odysseus escaped from the cave.

Answer:
I could not possibly hope to be a lady if I wore breeches; when I said I could do nothing in a dress, she said I wasn't supposed to be doing things that required pants" (Lee 51). Throughout the novel, Scout continues to act like a "tomboy" and wear overalls despite Alexandra's feelings.
Answer: “Yuck” Kate yelled as Mr. Jacks bulldog licked her once again. “Ive told you before we don’t have any more dog food.... or any food”. They had escaped the force field the day (T) before and were only able to take so much food as the supplies were low. They now were in the middle of a field with few trees for shelter. Mr. Jacks and Darby had found a water source (T) earlier that day but it was only an old pond full of mud that only the dog could drink without throwing up. They needed to get food and water and fast if they were to find others and hopefully if they were lucky Kates family.
They walked across the sun lit field for what seemed like ages although only a couple hours had passed. (T) Finally, when the sun stared on its way back towards the ground, they made it to the other side of the field where there was and abandoned looking city. They tried not to get there hopes up but they were unsuccessful and ended up sadly finding out that there were no people here. They searched through some old buildings and what used to be a beautiful garden but found nothing. “Ouch” Mr. Jacks yelled as he stubbed his toe on a pipe. They all looked down and saw that this pipe was from a well! This well supplied them with loads of water that they drank like wild dogs. Sure, they were happy that they found water but they were still left without any food of any sort. With all of them very hungry they found a place for shelter for the night and slept there with a few moth eaten blankets they had found and no pillows. When Kate woke up, she found that Mr. Jacks had already waken and gotten water from the well for her and Darby. Darby complained that there was no food for them to eat. Kate agreed for this was the (T) second day that she had not eaten. Then Darby slowly turned to the bulldog, “why are we lugging this dog around when our stomachs are empty, I say we eat it”. But Mr. Jacks quickly ruled that choice of food out. They decided to keep up their search of both people, food, and Kate's parents. They walked through the old city, the alley ways marked with shadows and a feeling of emptiness. By evening they made it back to more fields on the other side of the city. As it got dark, they started to look for a place to rest for the night. They sank to the ground by a tree excused from the day. (T) As soon as Kate was about to fall asleep Darby whispered, “What's that glow from over there?”. It looked like the glow of a fire and they heard traces of weird sounds coming from that direction.
After some discussion they decided to go check out the fire. As they got close the saw outlines of what looked like 6 people. Suddenly Kate screamed as she stepped on a snake causing the people around the fire to look their way. These were not people at all. They had green and purple skin and tentacles for legs. Their eyes say on antennae's on their heads. They were... Aliens. “Ahhh some food personally delivered” said one of the aliens. “and what is this small one here on four legs” another one said, “an appetizer by the looks of it”. “Wait” cried Darby, “You would eat us?”. “Yes of course, we have nice little cages for you earthlings and just eat you as we wish. You are helpless compared to us.” Said the tallest alien. Mr. Jacks stepped forward and began to discuss with the aliens why they should not eat us and how we are just like them. The aliens were surprised that the humans cared about their lives so much and were sorry for killing and eating the humans. They came to an agreement that they could eat the bulldog as an appetizer and then the aliens would go back to their planet. Kate, Darby, and Mr. Jacks minus the dog when on their way successfully having rescued all the people and set off to find Kates parents.

According to this passage, Margarita’s thoughts help the reader infer that Mrs. Flowers “thinks of Momma as a friend”. Evidence is shown in the passage that when Momma and Mrs. Flowers are talking, Mrs. Flowers is giggling but not to make fun of Momma’s way of speaking but because of what Momma is telling her. Also, by mentioning in the text that they engaged in an “<em>intimate conversation</em>” shows that Mrs. Flowers is not embarrassed or does not feel superior to Momma. Instead, what this passage shows is that Margarita is embarrassed by Momma’s way of speaking: “<em>I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me</em>”.
