Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. At this he gave a mighty sob and rumbled: 'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old. A wiza

rd, grand and wondrous, lived here—Telemus, a son of Euryinus; great length of days he had in wizardry among the Cyclopes, and these things he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. Always I had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here. But this, but you—small, pitiful and twiggy— you put me down with wine, you blinded me. Come back, Odysseus, and I'll treat you well, praying the god of earthquake to befriend you— his son I am, for he by his avowal fathered me, and if he will, he may heal me of this black wound—he and no other of all the happy gods or mortal men.’
Why does the Cyclops invite Odysseus back to the island?

He wants to obey the Greek custom of providing food and shelter to guests.

According to the Cyclops' words, he wants to obey the Greek custom of providing food and shelter to guests. He tells Odysseus to come back and says, "I'll treat you well, praying the god of earthquake to befriend you". He realizes that he has made a mistake by treating Odysseus without any hospitality. He knew that a man named Odysseus would take out his eye one day, but he expected the person named Odysseus to be a giant. It seems as though he feels guilty for not obeying the Greek customs, and his blind eye is the consequence. It seems as though he hopes a second chance at providing food and shelter to guests might endear him to his father and get his father to heal him.

Answer:

He realizes that Odysseus was destined to take his eye.

Explanation:

In "The Odyssey," the Cyclops is savage and brutal like a wild animal. According to the excerpt, the Cyclops always thought that a giant would confront it; however, a tiny creature like Odysseus has blinded him. As a result, he wishes Odysseus to go back so that his wound can be healed.

Based on the story of Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story", reread lines 120-131. With a small group, discuss why the wolves kill
miv72 [106K]

In Ursula Le Guin's "The Wife's Story" readers witness how a pack of wolves kill "the human thing".

From the perspective of a mother, one may understand that it was a necessary thing to do rather than the right one. As we can see in the text itself, the "human thing" was behaving in a very aggressive manner, trying to attack and kill his own children with a branch from a tree. Being left with no other choice, wolves, being predators by nature, protected the cubs and killed the attacker thus depriving him of any chances to repeat his violent actions in future.

As humans, we detest murder as a way of punishment or revenge, but in the given story we deal with wolves, and such behaviour is understandable from their perspective, moreover, one can clearly see that this was done only for protection.

Answer:

A laugh stops pointless argument.

Explanation:

The story of Satish is all about a community who is not wise and quarrels with each other on little disagreements. Satish saw two people fighting over their preferences of Idli or Dosa. Every person has his own food choices according to his taste but here people seems to disagree with the facts and starts arguing on pointless topics. There comes another man who thinks he is wise but makes a statement Dosa with chocolate, and here the argument continues. The only thing that helped stop the pointless arguments among the people of community was Satish's unintended laugh. The title that best suits the story is "A laugh stops pointless argument".
