Answer:

Homer's purpose in having Zeus recall the story of Agamemnon, Clytemnestra, Aegisthus, and Orestes in such detail might be to demonstrate the failures of men and their inability to listen or trust in the words of the gods.

Explanation:

In the hall of Zeus on Mount Olympos, all the gods but Poseidon gather and listen as Zeus reflects upon the moral failings of mortal men. He brings up the example of Aigisthos, who killed Agamemnon and stole his wife, though the gods warned him that Agamemnon's son, Orestes, would someday retaliate - which he justly did. Athena speaks on behalf of Odysseus, pleading with Zeus to free him from Calypso's grasp. He agrees, and the god Hermes will be sent to Calypso to ask her to free Odysseus.

I hope this helps you in any shape or form.

"Early" and "reluctantly" are adverbs. "Early" helps the verb "retired" by telling when. "Reluctantly" describes how the baby boomers feel about "looking" for another job. Hope this helped. :D

why does pip mean when he says “I should never like Joe’s trade.I had liked it once,but once was not now”?
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

After Pip met Estella and had become infatuated with her he becomes disgusted with his present situation as an assistant to Joe in his forge. In Ch 13 he is formally apprenticed to Joe and the chapter ends with Pip telling us that he was

"truly wretched and had a strong conviction on me that I should never like Joe's trade. I had liked it once, but once was not now."

He analyses his feelings very carefully and records them in minute detail in the next chapter:

"I had believed in the forge as the glowing road to manhood and independence. Within a single year, all this was changed. Now, it was all coarse and common, and I would not have had Miss Havisham and Estella see it on any account."

Till he was sent to Satis House where he first met and became infatuated with Estella he always looked forward to becoming an apprentice to Joe but after he met Estella he became disgusted with his profession and ashamed of his low social status and in Ch.14 he tells us what he dreaded most:

"What I dreaded was, that in some unlucky hour I being at my grimiest and commonest, should lift up my eyes and see Estella looking in at one of the wooden windows of the forge."

Think about the people in your life and how they've changed over time. Write an essay explaining whether or not people change. P
PSYCHO15rus [73]

People do change.  Life experiences and maturity change people.  If anyone thinks back to what he was like at eighteen and what he is like at thirty, it would be miracle if changes had not been made in his personality and behaviour.  

There are so many events in a person's life that will alter his behaviour and even his/her way of looking at things: marriage, children, jobs, parents' deaths, money problems, divorce, health problems. All of these occurrences will alter the way a person acts and thinks.  

Every stage of a person's life will bring different attitudes and changes in what a person does.  Sometimes, the changes are for the better. There are instances when a person becomes bitter as he ages. As a person ages, his priorities change. Health issues move to the forefront. Health insurance and doctors become a part of life.

The point is that everyone changes as life events occur. No one stays the same.
