Here we go again, I thought. Another time-wasting experience. But Sukeforth looked like a sincere person, and I thought I might

as well listen. I agreed to meet him that night. When we met, Sukeforth got right to the point. Mr. Rickey wanted to talk to me about the possibility of becoming a Brown Dodger. If I could get a few days off and go to Brooklyn, my fare and expenses would be paid. At first I said that I couldn't leave my team and go to Brooklyn just like that. Sukeforth wouldn't take no for an answer. He pointed out that I couldn't play for a few days anyhow because of my bum arm. Why should my team object?
I continued to hold out and demanded to know what would happen if the Monarchs fired me. The Dodger scout replied quietly that he didn't believe that would happen.

I shrugged and said I'd make the trip. I figured I had nothing to lose.

The statement that best summarizes this excerpt is: Although Robinson is injured, Sukeforth convinces him he should play for the Dodgers.

At the outset of the text, we find that the narrator was skeptical about having the meeting with Sukeforth. In the meeting, Sukeforth tried to convince Robinson to play for the Dodgers.

Robinson is not sure about this move but Sukeforth exerts efforts in convincing him and in the end, he agreed to it.

In "By the Waters of Babylon," what is the son doing that is forbidden?
Murljashka [212]
I think the correct answer is D. Even though the law forbids him from doing it, he still "travels to the Place of the Gods". He passes many Dead Places, and thinks about whether he should actually go to the Place of the Gods because it is forbidden, but he does in the end.

Identify What universal themes does Homer explore in the Odyssey? Choose two events from either Part One or Part Two, and explai
xeze [42]

Answer and Explanation:

As you may already know, "Odyssey" is an epic story written, probably, by Homer. The story takes place in Greece, during the Trojan War and we learn about the achievements and adventures of the hero Odysseus and his attempts to return home.

In part I of this story, we are introduced to topics such as cunning and fidelity. Cunning is presented through Odisseuy's deeds, which is the main characteristic of this hero. Cunning is presented at all times in the work, pointing Odysseus as someone who is courageous, daring and intelligent. Fidelity, on the other hand, is presented through Odysseus' remorse for not being faithful to his wife during many moments in his adventures.

Part II of this work presents other themes such as character flaws and hospitality. The character flaw is also a great feature of Odysseus and shows how imperfect the hero is, in addition to humanizing him and allowing readers to identify with him. The hospitality is due to Odisseu's wife, who needs to receive in her home many suitors who bother her and destroy her family's patrimony.
