sight of other islands—Dulichium, Same, wooded Zacynthus—Ithaca being most lofty in that coastal sea, and northwest, while the rest lie east and south. A rocky isle, but good for a boy's training; I shall not see on earth a place more dear, Read a student's paraphrase of the excerpt.

Answer:

Odysseus holds his home very close to his heart.

Explanation:

<u>Paraphrasing is the act of restating any given statement or passage in one's own words and not using the words used in the original text.</u> This is used/ done to achieve more clarity and also to enable a different explanation of the same text.

In Homer's "The Odyssey", the story revolves around the journey of Odysseus and his men on their way back home to Ithaca. The paraphrase of the given passage by a student provides good detail about how Odysseus describes his home. But at the same time, <u>if the student added the detail about how Odysseus holds his home close to his heart (</u><em><u>"I shall not see on earth a place more dear"</u></em><u>), this will strengthen the paraphrase.</u>

Thus, the <u>key detail that should be added to strengthen the student's paraphrasing is the second option.</u>

Subjective: based on or influenced by personal experiences, beliefs, thoughts

I just copied and pasted this to see if anyone else had an answer, one person said B and that got 5 stars and a few thanks, so I'd go with B. Also, B seems objective because it is influenced by the person's feeling of the character.

Read the passage from both the feminist and historical perspectives. In one paragraph, explain what each perspective reveals abo
ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

Using a historical perspective helps the reader understand that Nnaemeka’s decision to marry Nene goes against long-standing traditions. He marries for love instead of taking part in an arranged marriage. He also marries outside of his tribe. As a result of his choice, his father shuns him. A feminist perspective reveals the marriage also goes against patriarchal values in this society. Women are expected to be homemakers. However, Nene is a teacher and does not fit the expectation. Both perspectives help the reader understand opposition to the marriage. However, one approach focuses on tradition, while the other focuses on the treatment of women in their culture.
