The answer is C. Dr. Seuss
For Odysseus and his men, the loss of Helios, the sun, symbolizes a loss of C. Hope.
In poetry, light ( such as the sun, the moon, candles, stars) often symbolizes good, hope, and freedom.
In the lines <em>"Never the flaming eye of Helios lights on those men at morning, when he climbs the sky of stars, nor in descending earthward out of heaven" </em>the reflected idea is that they do not see the sunrise or sunset anymore, thus they are eventually condemned to a total loss of light, that is to say, hope.
The author's attitude is the tone. This sets up mood, which is the reader's feelings toward the text. I often teach these together because they can be so confusing. Syntax is just the arrangement of words, which is often seen in poetry as this is where it is most effective. Diction is simply the choice of words, which is part of tone but not the full definition of tone. C is the correct answer.
