Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils o

f squall moved down like night on land and sea. The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief, until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Which key details should be included in a paraphrase of this passage? Check all that apply. The storm was a direct result of Zeus’s fury at the men. For two days and nights, Zeus created a storm at sea. Odysseus and his men feared greatly for their lives. The sails on the ship cracked in the heavy winds. The men felt grief as they lay offshore and waited.

Nezavi [6.7K]

The Sirian's book was supposed to be written by Micromegas, an inhabitant of a distant planet who was visiting the Earth with a creature he had met in Saturn. He promised the humans of Earth that he would hand them a miniature volume for their convenience, that would contain the nature of everything, so that nobody would have to debate about the ideas of different philosophers anymore.  

However, when the book was opened in the Academy of Science in Paris, the secretary noticed the pages were blank.

This can be interpreted in different ways, as Micromegas was able to make different comparisons in his journey. First, with his Saturnian companion, and then with the small humans of Earth. He had a lot of knowledge, but was also open to learn new things. In the end, he understood that there was more to proportion than size and distance.

After circumnavigating the planet in 36 hours, and listening to the people in the ship, he learned about humanity's ignorance, wars and injustice. He noticed they liked to quote different philosophers, without necessarily understanding what they meant. Most likely, he decided to leave Earthlings to evolve at their own pace, with their own singularities rather than showing them a wisdom of ages that was not theirs.

The blank pages may mean that he wanted humanity to write their own philosophy instead of exposing them to the knowledge of a different planet which was completely different in size, age and wisdom. Having seen human nature with his magnifying glass, the gift of knowledge could be used for evil purposes rather than to their benefit. Last of all, life is complex and no book could be written about humans, except than by humans themselves.

1) <span> The specific differences that I noticed in the two performances mentioned above are that t</span>he first one was very touching and totally emotional, I bet that the author wanted to make us go through this perfomance in the shouse of the characters but because of this decision it was kind of hard to concentrate on the words. In the seconfd performance these two points (emotional and textual) are balanced so it was more holistic.

2) The way how Michael Pennington reaches out to you as the audience in his performance of Hamlet's soliloquy is his personal attitude he expressed to those who came to watch it by looking right at the camera while delivering his soliloquy. 

3) There is no photo or excerpt of the page that you have to analyze, and I can depend only on the Speech: “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears” from Julius Caesar, spoken by Marc Antony. I think that any of line should be rid, or changed in tone, because this is the major point that shapes and reveals the Antony's character who is considered as a <span>superficial man.

Hope that helps!</span>
