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.
"wheels of change" tells the story of the impact of the bicycle on women´s lives from 1870´s to the early years of the 20th century. It tells the stories of women who rode bicycles for fun, for profit, and to make a statement about women´s rights or women roles in the world. Illustrated liberally with photographs, maps, advertisements and cartoons, as well as contemporary songs, poems and newspaper clippings, the book helps readers travel to a time gone by to see firsthand how women used the bicycle as a vehicle to improve their lives.
Answer:
Read the excerpt from "Daughter of Invention".
Meanwhile, Yoyo was on her knees, weeping wildly, collecting all the little pieces of her speech, hoping that she could put it back together before the assembly tomorrow morning. But not even a sibyl could have made sense of those tiny scraps of paper. All hope was lost. "He broke it, he broke it," Yoyo moaned as she picked up a handful of pieces.
What conflict does Yoyo face in this excerpt?
Explanation:
If he continued northwest across the Arabian Sea from Kalhat, Marco Polo would most likely describe Hormuz.
The city of Hormuz is located in current-day Iran, and it is located northwest from Kalhat - also known as Qalhat - which is located north of Sur, in Oman. This is the route that Polo took in his returning trip from China.
On the other hand, both Dhofar and Socotra are southwest from Kalhat, also in Oman. Also, while Venetia is northeast from Kalhat, it would be the last city he would have described after visiting Kalhat.
The only thing between him and outer space ...
