In at least 150 words, discuss the significance iron plays in Jack Agueros’s story “'Agua Viva,' A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez.
mart [117]

Jacks Agueros's “'Agua Viva,' A Sculpture by Alfred Gonzalez" tells the story of Filthy Fredo, a hermit that collects scrap iron to build creations in his workshop. Filthy Fredo, is mentally unstable, hasn't shave or take a bath in five years, and the only human interaction that he had during the story is with some neighborhood boys which resulted to be violent at first glance. The author uses iron as a metaphor to Fredo's obsessive world, which is impenetrable as the iron creations that he builds for defense against the real world. One excerpt of the story that implies this conclusion is "His house had become the lair of the iron woodchuck, the hive of the iron bee, the storeroom of the iron squirrel, the complex of chambers of the iron ant". The iron served as the metaphoric armor of Fredo, and the only thing he enjoyed to do as a hermit. However, he eventually had to deal with the consequences of the life he decided to live and his inevitable return to society.

Identify the steps to Eurylochus plan for the cattle
Firdavs [7]

Answer with Explanation:

After the Trojan War, Odysseus planned to go back home. Together with him was his second-in-command, Eurylochus (a cowardly man) Upon their return, they stopped over a mythological island called "Aeaea." This was the home of an enchantress named "Circe." So, instead of greeting Circe, Eurylochos stayed away and knew her treachery. He told Odysseus that the crew were turned into pigs, so Odysseus went to rescue his men. This started a fight between Eurylochos and Odysseus after he successfully saved his men from Circe. This ended in reconciliation and Circe telling Odysseus to seek advice from Tiresias<em> (a blind prophet of Apollo). </em>

The prophet told Odysseus that they shouldn't touch the "Cattle of Helios" or the "Oxen of the Sun." However, the crew were already hungry. Thus, Eurylochus convinced them to eat the cattle while Odysseus was asleep. He told the crew how better it would be to be killed by the gods rather than by hunger and thus, they believed him. They killed the cattle and ate them. Because of this, Zeus became very angry and destroyed their ship.

Everyone was killed except Odysseus <u>(the only survivor</u>).
