Odysseus, the crafty ruler of Ithaca is not a hero because of his lack of many important heroic qualities. One of which is his lack of mercy and because of that he can be considered more of an anti-hero instead of a hero. At the middle of the chapter Odysseus’ Revenge, Homer tells of how Odysseus showed no mercy to the Suitors, even though they begged for it and the citation that shows how merciless he is reads, “Spare/ your own people. As for ourselves, we’ll make/ restitutions of wine and meat consumed,/ and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart./ Meanwhile we cannot blame you for your anger/… Not for the whole treasure of your fathers, / all you enjoy, lands, flocks, or any gold / put up by others, would I hold my hand. / The will be killing until the score is paid. / You forced yourselves upon this house. Fight for your way out, / or run it, if you think you’ll escape death. / I doubt one man of you skins by.”

Answer:

Sports play an important part in a student's life due to numerous reasons.

There are many sports and games that take place in our school. The most popular sport at our school is Basketball. Apart from Basketball, students here play football, tennis, badminton, hockey, cricket and swimming.

Sports are important for students as they keep them physically fit. Health is wealth, and they cannot succeed without being in a good physical condition. Sports also allow students to relax their mind, away from the normal school subjects. Sports are a way of recreation. Sports also help build a better character in a student as they learn important skills such as team work and leadership.

Personally I believe swimming would benefit me the most as it uses all parts of the body. I find swimming very relaxing and fun. It is a good way to maintain my fitness, while relaxing at the same time. Basketball would also be a benefit to me, as it would help me develop team work skills.

It can be concluded that sports are very important for students.

A cousin of yours in ss2 is discovered to be pregnant and her father has threatened to send her out of the house. Write a letter

ryzh [129]

Answer:

Letter to an uncle to pacify him from acting harshly against his daughter who's pregnant while still a school girl.

Explanation:

Parkland Avenue

New Jersey

15 May 2010

My dear uncle,

I know this must be a hard time for you to even listen to anyone but I request you to kindly hear out what I am about to say. I hope you will not stop reading until you reach the last word, and maybe it will help you clear your mind, even if only a bit.

I have heard of my cousin’s pregnancy and I also know it must have been a shock and even an embarrassing situation. But I can say that it is not an embarrassing situation nor is it something to be ashamed about. Of course, getting pregnant that young is something unthinkable and also unaccepted by her but whatever's happened is done. We can't change anything nor can we just regret and wish time goes back. What we need now is to move forward and find the best solution for everyone involved.

I know your first reaction must have been of shock and anger at her but driving her out of the house won't help. It will only drive a deeper gap between the two of you and she will feel abandoned when she needed to support the most. It will obviously be scary enough for her, and added to that, her family's deserting her. The only people supposed to support her are the ones turning her away, which will be heartbreaking. Please, make sure that she doesn’t feel rejected and unloved when she needed love and support from the people she love the most. You are and will always be family to each other and nothing can change that, even if you kick her out of the house or disown her. She has your blood and she’’ always be your family no matter what happens.

But Uncle, let's think reasonably. If you take her, assure her and stand by her side, she will find it even more comforting and loved. She will know the depth of your love for her and she will learn a valuable lesson of how a parent is at times like this. Your actions will be the precedent for her future relationship with her child. Moreover, when people will criticize her, having you by her side will ensure and comfort her in knowing that she has all she needs to be safe and happy. She will rediscover the value of family and you will also gain a grandchild.

Uncle, it is my hope and prayer that you do not reject her but rather, be accepting of her and forgive her. She's just a child who needs her parents to help her guide at this difficult time. So, please, be there for her and her child.

I will be waiting for better news from you and will visit as soon as I can.

Lots of love,

Brenda.
