At this he gave a mighty sob and rumbled: 'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old. A wizard, 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.’

Aleks [24]

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

  • Important event in ancient greek history.

<em><u>Explanation:</u></em>

All through the story, Odysseus endeavors to win the support of the divine beings and goddess to enable himself to return home, notwithstanding, he meets obstruction and issues, for example, his group murdering the sun god's dairy cattle, which brings about the opposite they wished from the divine beings, prompting the pulverization of Odysseus' teams and ships.  

Epic poems are generally exceptionally long and they contain a few components of genuine history. That is the case of the ballad Elpenor from the Odyssey.

Imagine that these two aliens, who look like giant ants, came to your school one day. Write a story in about 150-200 words about
Veronika [31]

Answer:

not the prompt but here you go

Explanation:

It all started with a magnifying glass. Daryl's uncle had given it to him for his birthday. It didn't seem like much of a gift at the time, but then all sorts of things happened. Read this story to find out what kind of an adventure Daryl had!

A Summer's Day

It was a nice summer day and Daryl decided to go for a walk. 'Why don't you take that magnifying glass with you,' said his uncle, 'see what kind of an adventure you can find.' Daryl didn't think there was much adventure in a magnifying glass, but he stuck it in his pocket anyway along with some peanut butter crackers.

He walked to his favorite tree and sat down in the warm sand to eat his crackers. As he ate, some crumbs fell to the ground. He took out the magnifying glass when he noticed an ant had already found his cracker crumbs. 'Hey,' he thought, 'I'll check this out.'

The Adventure Begins

Under the magnifying glass, the ant looked pretty formidable. That means it looked large and scary! As he followed the ant, he saw it fall into a small pit. The ant tried and tried to crawl out of the pit, but the sand kept giving way and he'd fall back down. Daryl was just about to give up on the ant when, all of a sudden, out of the bottom of the pit jumped an antlion and grabbed the ant! Wow, was that something to watch up-close! The antlion was even more formidable than the ant!

Antlion

As he continued to gaze through the glass, he noticed a little trail of tracks. They almost looked like tractor tracks, but he knew that wasn't possible. He decided to follow them and see where they went. The tracks led him right to a tree where he found a caterpillar happily munching on a leaf. Wow, did the caterpillar look cool under the magnifying glass! It had colors and spots and hairs and lots of funny little feet. It was rather peculiar, meaning strange and different.

A Little Danger

He continued to watch the caterpillar when he was interrupted by a buzzing sound. There hovering over the caterpillar was a wasp. Though is startled him, he was rather intrigued, or very interested, with this tiny adventure he was on. The wasp was the most formidable of all!

Carefully watching the wasp, he saw it was laying small white eggs right on top of the caterpillar, who didn't seem to notice anything going on at all! What a crazy world down here in small land! The wasp suddenly flew up and away. As he watched, he saw it get tangled in a spider web. 'This is awesome,' he thought, 'I have to climb up and take a better look at that spider.'

Identify the part of speech of the italicized word in each sentence. Sheila’s mother can drive us to the mall. That song is stuc
Yuki888 [10]

Sheila’s(adj) mother(n) can(v) drive(v) us(pn) to(prep) the(adj) mall(n).

That(adj) song(n) is(v) stuck(adj) in(prep) my(adj) head(n).

The(adj) teacher(n) handed(v) the(adj) math(adj) test(n) back(adv) today(adv).

There are no words italicized in the question, so I labeled them all according to the following information.

A noun (n) is a person, place, thing or idea. Nouns are often the subject of the sentence or an object in the sentence.

A pronoun(pn) takes the place of a noun. They refer back to a noun and can show gender.

An adjective(adj) describes a noun. It is often found directly in front of a noun. The, a, an are all considered adjectives, and have their own subcategory of adjectives, so they can also be called articles.

A verb (v) is an action or state of being word. Action verbs are easy to identify as they are things that you can do. State of being verbs connect the subject to its description.

An adverb (adv) describes verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They can answer the question: when? where? how? how often?

A preposition (prep) is a word that tells where one noun is in relation to another noun. A preposition is always followed by a noun.
