We can explain the simile in the excerpt in the following manner:

The simile in the excerpt serves to <u>show readers that the Cyclops is extremely </u><u>strong</u>, and that lifting a heavy rock is no big deal for him.

  • The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem "The Odyssey".
  • The Cyclops is a one-eyed giant and the son of the god Poseidon.
  • A simile is a comparison made with the help of the words "like" or "as".
  • In order to show how strong the Cyclops is, the narrator compares the way he lifts the big and heavy rock to capping a quiver.
  • In other words, the narrator shows with that comparison (simile) that <u>lifting a heavy rock is something easy for the Cyclops to do</u>.
  • That means the Cyclops is extremely strong.

Would you rather be described as innocent or immature? Explain.
kicyunya [14]
Good question. Immature because it helps with my dysphoria as a trans man because boys are typically seen as immature. But, I think you need a more inclusive answer so here’s one: “id rather be considered immature because I don’t want people my age to assume I’m lame. Usually people can get along better with someone who is immature rather than innocent because they feel they know nothing or are boring.”
