Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. My home is on the peaked sea-mark of Ithaca under Mount Neion's wind-blown robe of leaves, in

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. Odysseus's home is Ithaca, a rocky island surrounded by other islands. Odysseus considers Ithaca a great place in which to grow up.

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>

unimpeded: not obstructed or hindered

compellingly: with a lot of force

enunclating: pronouncing words or sentences very clearly

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Society and Class is one of the themes of Don Quixote.

Explanation:

There are many themes in the "Don Quixote" by "Miguel de Cervantes" like Social and class, madness, loyalty, race, madness, morality.

Cervantes's novel shows the difference between the class of a person and his worth. In Don Quixote, Cervantes argues the traditional thinking that if a person is an aristocrat, he is respectable and noble. But Duke and Duches are frivolous and unkind though they are aristocrats in the story. On the other hand, though Sancho has low social status and is a farmer, he is wise and thoughtful.  

In Don Quixote, two people who love each other are asked to live apart  apart because of their social class and Cervantes also suggests that quality of a person is more important than his social class.
