After reading the excerpt from "The Odyssey," we can say the author suggests the following about the beliefs of the ancient Greeks:

D. They believed that the gods often punished people for acting badly.

<h3>How do gods act in "The Odyssey"?</h3>
  • Gods from the ancient Greek mythology are often interfering in the lives of humans in the epic poem "The Odyssey." They can offer help, but they also frequently punish humans for their bad actions.

<h3>How about the excerpt?</h3>
  • In the excerpt we are analyzing here, the god Zeus is punishing Odysseus and his men with a terrible storm. The men soon begin to fear for their life, until Zeus's fury finally fades.
  • As a matter of fact, Odysseus and his men are often being punished by the gods, especially Poseidon, the god of the seas. Whenever they disobey or challenge the gods, they meet with hardship and even death.

With that in mind, we can choose letter D as the best option concerning the ancient Greek's beliefs.

This is the excerpt the question is about:

<em>Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north </em>

<em>a storm against the ships, and driving veils </em>

<em>of squall moved down like night on land and sea. </em>

<em>The bows went plunging at the gust; sails </em>

<em>cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. </em>

<em>We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, </em>

<em>unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: </em>

<em>then two long days and nights we lay offshore </em>

<em>worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, </em>

<em>until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.</em>

How do the reactions of the mother and father change throughout the story? The Monkey's Paw
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

I would also say that when the family first hears the story of the monkey's paw, their curiosity is really about hearing a tale of magic and intrigue, almost like one who sits around a campfire and awaits a scary story, just for the thrill of it. After all, Mr. White complains early in the story about living so far out in the country that no one really stops by, especially on a night such as Jacobs describes, with its wind and rain. Truly, Jacobs sets the scene to be a scary story with the dismal opening.

When the Whites first see the monkey's paw, Mrs. White "drew back with a grimace, but her son, taking it, examined it curiously." Mr. White also takes the paw and examines it, though no descriptors are given about his reaction.

Once the family is in possession of the "talisman," they still treat the monkey's paw as if it is a joke, but when Mr. White makes his first wish, "a fine crash from the piano greeted his words, interrupted by a shuddering cry" from Mr. White, which frightens Mrs. White and Herbert. Mr. White claims that the paw moved when he wished, which causes the family to doubt their initial mirth at the story the soldier told. In the morning, however, they return to their disbelief.

By the end, when the wish of 200 pounds is granted in lieu of Herbert's death, and then the second wish seems to bring Herbert back to life, Mr. and Mrs. White both believe in the power of the paw, so much so that Mr. White uses his last wish to wish that Herbert returns to the dead.
