To answer this question we need to understand that Odysseus has a desire that he shares with all Homeric heroes, it is the desire to gain glory through his exploits and deeds. At various points in the text, we see the way in which Odysseus rather arrogantly ignores the advice of different characters or does what he thinks is best without thinking of the consequences of his actions and what might happen to both himself, and his men, as a result. The best example is when, at the start of his wanderings, Odysseus was so focused on gaining glory that he deliberately revealed who he was to the Cyclops, Polyphemus. As a result this brought down calamity on both himself and his men because the cyclops, Polyphemus was the son of Poseidon, God of the sea and earthquakes.
However, by the end of the story, when he reaches Ithaca, he deliberately bides his time and disguises himself as a beggar instead of rushing home and declaring who he is to the group of extremely hostile suitors, shows how he has developed and changed. He is not the same glory-hungry individual who often committed rash and rather vacuous actions in order to gain kudos. Instead, he tempers this aspect of his character with the need for patience, and remains incognito until he has established his position and what men are loyal to him and he is ready to strike. The text therefore indicates that Odysseus as a character learns from his mistakes and develops during the course of his journey.
Answer:
The machine is the place where every human being lives in an era that seems to be the future.
Explanation:
A typical day at the machine seems to be somewhat monotonous. The interactions with people are through technological devices and apparently the people here repeat their day to day.
Let's see the following lines:
<em>"She made the room dark and slept; she awoke and made the room light; she ate and exchanged ideas with her friends, and listened to music and attended lectures; she make the room dark and slept. Above her, beneath her, and around her, the Machine hummed eternally; she did not notice the noise, for she had been born with it in her ears. The earth, carrying her, hummed as it sped through silence, turning her now to the invisible sun, now to the invisible stars. She awoke and made the room light."
</em>
The only thing Vashti does is wake up, turn on the lights, interact with some of the thousands of buttons on the machine, talk virtually with friends and go back to sleep.
Here there is no direct interaction with nature or outside.
I believe the answer would be A and if it isn't I'm sorry but I hope this helped
The lines from Bob Kaufman's
"Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot Less for Its Accidentalness"
conveys that Kaufman sees mental hospitals and institutionalization as
inhumane, ineffective, and uncaring. The surgeons only thinks about how well equipped
they are with their machines and they are excited to use this to people with
mental illness without caring the fact that it might be harmful to them.
