1. The poet begins with a prayer to the Muses - the Greek Goddess - the nine daughters of Zeus who gave inspiration for various works of art such as music, poetry, and other forms of cerebral creativity. He makes the prayer because he thirsts for greatness again and longs to go home from the prison of the island of Ogygia where he was kept, prisoner.

He and his men after an unsuccessful siege against Troy that lasted ten years used a Trojan Horse filled with soldiers as a gift to the king of Troy to penetrate their defenses.

<h3>Who is "that man" mentioned in line 2 of the poem</h3>

2. "The man" referred to in line two is the narrator or the writer himself - Odysseus - King of Ithaca, son of Laertes and Anticleia.

3. The poet of course values determination, bravery, and loyalty. (Option A).

See the following lines where he describes his achievements:

Determination (Line 6 and 7) ...and weathered many bitter nights and days in his deep heart at sea

Bravery and loyalty (Line 8) while he fought ... to bring his shipmates home.

<h3>4. What the poet does not value</h3>

The plot does not value recklessness. See line 11.

There he states that he would have saved his men but for their recklessness in killing and feasting on the cattle of Lord Helios.

5. The literary device used here is Imagery.

The emboldened section is lines 11-15:

<em>...their own recklessness destroyed them all –</em>

<em>children and fools, they killed and feasted on</em>

<em>the cattle of Lord Helios, the Sun,</em>

<em>and he who moves all day through heaven</em>

<em>took from their eyes the dawn of their return.</em>

<h3>What is imagery?</h3>

Imagery refers to the use of figurative language to enhance description and create a notable impression in the mind of the reader.

By saying that Lord Helios - the sun took from their eyes the dawn of their return, he simply says they died in the hands of Lord Helios thus losing all hopes of getting back to their homeland.

6. The poets' tone can best be described as Moody.

Having been detained for seven years on the island, he was homesick and now prayed to the gods to release him. Hence his moody tone.

7. It is easy to predict that the gods will release Odysseus to go back home.

In line 17, Odysseus prays to be allowed to be released and allowed to work brave deeds again. It is easily predictable that he would be released to go home to Ithaca.

Line 28 (“Spring . . . wonder”) most clearly marks a shift in the speaker’s focus from the practical task at hand to

Bad White [126]

Answer:

In line 28 we can see a shift in the speaker's focus to speculation about the limits that nature has.

Explanation:

In line 28, the speaker's approach changes and he begins to address nature in a more influential and profound way, showing the limits of it. This is to show that even something great like nature, has fineness, that is, it has limitations. This can be applied to the physical sense of nature, or even to the subjective and more conceptual sense of the effect of nature.
