Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. Six benches were left empty in every ship that evening when we pulled away from death. And th

Answer:

The men were greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.

Many of Odysseus's men did not escape with their lives.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is the act of rewriting or re-expressing the meaning of a given passage but with the use of different words other than those used by the writer in the original text. This technique allows the readers to understand the passage or text more, and with the use of new and added words, the paraphrase will summarize the whole passage for a better understanding.

The given passage from Homer's "The Odyssey" talks of how the men in their ships go on with their sailing. The main points of the passage are how the deaths are dealt with, and how many men were killed by the Cicones. So, in the paraphrase, the key details should be that many of Odysseus' men were killed. This led to the remaining men to be greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.

In passage 2, How does the authors introduction of sir kay in the underlined sentences on page 4 relate to what comes earlier in
Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer:

<u><em>It contradicts the characterization of knights as mindless but continues to uphold traditional notions of knighthood. </em></u>

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

It is of interest to note the expression <em>"he got up and played his hands like a major- and took every trick", </em>this was not the earlier characterization of knights. They were often portrayed as been mindless who like to bully others, etc, but here Sir Kay was seen as a premier warrior, a major indeed.

Analyze Explain Mario Cuomo’s conundrum.
Annette [7]

This question is about "A Quilt of a Country"

Answer and Explanation:

Mario Cuomo's enigma was exposed to show how the USA imposes the concept of individualism on its growing population and encourages the adoption of this concept in all possible activities, however, in addition to being a defining concept of the American population, it is also a concept that is in constant conflict, thus creating a "social paradox", so to speak, because the nation that grew in an individualistic way, sees itself in various situations where it needs to work in the collectivity and in solidarity.

Within the text, Quindlen uses this concept of conflict between the collective and individualism as support for the argument that the USA is a multicultural nation, full of the most different ethnicities, but all this difference does not prevent the country made up of a single people that is subject to a single government.

How is suspense handled differently in different mediums?
vampirchik [111]
There are many ways to convey suspense. In movies, you can do it with choosing specific tunes in the background and making sets that look eerie or by zooming in on people's faces (which was an old method). In music you can slow the tempo down and add some random high pitched notes from time to time such as those found in old horror films or classical tunes. In books, it is usually done through descriptions of the unknown or mysterious.
