Answer:

'The Puritans came to this country for religious freedom, but they then persecuted others for their religion which made the colony almost as bad as the place they had left.'

Explanation:

The irony is described as the literary device that the author employs to portray the incongruity that exists between the expectations and the reality of what actually happens. This device is employed either to emphasize a particular idea indirectly.

In the given excerpt, the irony that is displayed in this statement would be that 'however, they were urging the church of England to provide them with their own liberty but the Puritans offered a very little freedom to their members' <u>which reflects the incongruity between the expectations and the reality</u>. Their expectation was outplayed when they transformed the place into even worse than they had left previously.

Which of the following would help you use supporting details to draw conclusions?
vlada-n [284]

D. List all the supporting details from a story.

Sometimes, when analyzing text, it helps to immediately see the content being analyzed without having to search the work in order to find key points.  One of the ways in which this can be done is to create a list.  Thus, if one were trying to draw conclusions based upon evidence (or supporting details) from the text, a list with all of the details would be good tool to utilize because you would have the evidence instantly accessible and directly in front of you without the need to search though the text, which is inefficient.

How does Odysseus measure up to the idea of an epic hero?
kozerog [31]

An epic hero is a man whose fortune is brought about by his own characteristics. These characteristics are usually strength, loyalty, courage, and intelligence.

Odysseus is a clear example of an epic hero because he demonstrates courage and intelligence. For example, in the Cyclops' cave, all his men were afraid and panicked, but not him. He kept calm and confronted the Cyclops. Then, when it asked for his name, he said it was "Nobody", so when he stabbed the Cyclops eye, which is another display of immense courage, he could not say who did it.
