Which character traits does Penelope reveal in the second part of The Odyssey?

English

Prudence and loyalty, because in the story, Odysseus is disguised as a very old man, (so he can visit his old home without anyone knowing it's him- many drunk men were at his house to ask for the hand of his wife, since they thought Odysseus would never return, and if they would've found out that his wife's husband has returned, the drunk men would've killed Odysseus), and when he enters his old house, his wife tells their maid, (Penelope), to take care and wash up the old man, which she does, but she finds out that the old man is actually Odysseus! He can't have ANYONE knowing, (as explained before), though Penelope senses that his presence is supposed to keep secret, so she doesn't say a word about it. Penelope's actions gives us an insight of her character traits, known as prudence and loyalty. =)
I hope I helped! =D

Answer:

"Remember when I'm gone away" The figurative language here suggests we're dealing with a metaphor. "Gone away" is just another way of saying dead.

Hope this helps :)

Why does a poet use imagery in his or her poems?
Anuta_ua [19.1K]
<span>The purpose of imagery in poetry is to help get the poet's message across in language that is strong, vivid and very visual. The poet will use words to create images in our heads that help us to interpret the poem in the way he sees it. Every person has a different view on life and poets are inspired to record theirs for others to read and identify with. Sometimes, such as in "Vampire" by Ted Hughes, the images will be gruesome - as in a party host with  a slack mouth like a gaping sack. Sometimes, such as in Shakespeare (Sonnet 18) the images are delicate and beautiful as in "shall I compare thee to a summer's day." Sometimes poets use similes in comparison, sometimes they use personification and sometimes metaphor. All create visuals for us, whether to shock or delight. HOPE THIS HELPS :)</span>

Which is NOT one of the steps you should take when summarizing information from a source?
g100num [7]
The answer is the last choice, or D.

When you summarize, you're supposed to gather the most important points and rewrite them in a shorter and more simplified fashion. The first three choices include mostly everything you should do when writing a summary. Usually when you summarize, it's for a concluding paragraph, so writing an introductory paragraph wouldn't be it.
