Explanation:
The Odyssey tells the story of a heroic but far from perfect protagonist who battles many antagonists, including his own inability to heed the gods’ warnings, on his arduous journey home from war. Along the way the poem explores ideas about fate, retribution, and the forces of civilization versus savagery. While The Odyssey is not told chronologically or from a single perspective, the poem is organized around a single goal: Odysseus’s return to his homeland of Ithaca, where he will defeat the rude suitors camped in his palace and reunite with his loyal wife, Penelope. Odysseus is motivated chiefly by his nostos, or desire for homecoming, a notion in heroic culture that encouraged bravery in war by reminding warriors of the people and institutions they were fighting for back home. Odysseus’s return represents the transition from life as a warrior on the battlefield back to life as a husband, father, and head of a household. Therefore, Odysseus is ultimately motivated by a desire to reclaim these elements of his identity and once again become the person he was before he left for the Trojan War so many years earlier.
The chief conflict in the poem is between Odysseus’s desire to reach home and the forces that keep him from his goal, a conflict that the narrator of the Odyssey spells out in the opening lines. This introductory section, called a proem, appeals to the Muse to inspire the story to follow. Here, the narrator names the subject of the poem—Odysseus—and his objective throughout the poem: “to save his life and bring his comrades home.” The narrator identifies the causes of Odysseus’s struggle to return home, naming both the sun god, Helios, and Odysseus’s fellow sailors themselves as responsible: “The recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the sun and the sun god blotted out the day of their return.” The narrator next identifies Poseidon as one of Odysseus’s main antagonists, as all the gods took pity on Odysseus except Poseidon, who “raged on, seething against the great Odysseus until he reached his native land.” Finally, the proem tells us that the Odyssey will be the story of Odysseus’s successful journey home: “the exile must return!”

"Father let me bring you a shield and spear,
a pair of spears, a helmet.
I can arm on the run myself; I'll give
outfits to Eumaeus and this cowherd.
Better to have equipment."

I hope you like it
this is a true story btw
Answer:
When coping with a "mean kid", it is important to remember that they are humans with feelings too. I would try to figure out why they are being mean. they might be mean to other students because of problems at home. if this is the case, then I would make time to get to know them and try to become their friend. if they see that people care about them and are willing to give their time to get to know them, then the "mean kid" may be less likely to be rude to other students.

How did Westerns commonly stereotype Native Americans?
How did Westerns commonly stereotype whites?
Answer:
Common Stereotypes of Native Americans: Indians all have black hair, tan skin and brown eyes. Indians are all full bloods. All Indians have an “Indian name.” Indians get a free ride from the government. Indians were conquered because they were inferior. Indians were warlike and treacherous. Indians did not value or empower women.
Stereotypes of white people in general either reflect those of upper class WASPs or "backward," "barely-educated" redneck sub-population. Stereotypes of rednecks include inbreeding, enjoying country music, watching NASCAR

Woody thought there was plenty to worry about. The Great Depression, which had begun in 1929, was grinding on. For years, desperate, hungry people had been tramping the roads and riding the rails, looking for work or handouts.
Which song did Woody Guthrie most likely write based on these observations?
“California Stars”
“Gotta Work”
“Mail Myself to You”
“No Fear”
Answer:
B.) "Gotta Work"
Explanation:
I took the quiz.
The song “Gotta Work” is the one that Woody Guthrie most likely write based on these observations. The correct option is B.
Who was Woody Guthrie?One of the most important figures in American folk music was the singer-songwriter Woodrow Wilson Guthrie from the United States. His writing mostly dealt with anti-fascist and American socialism themes.
The most well-known and significant singer and composer of folk music in American history is Woody Guthrie. Since the 1960s, "This Land is Your Land," his most well-known song, has served as the nation's unofficial national anthem and is sung in every classroom.
He is well known for his impromptu compositions, folk ballads, traditional songs, and children's songs, many of which contain political commentary. Based on these findings, Woody Guthrie most certainly wrote the song "Gotta Work."
Thus, the correct option is B.

Have you ever been hurt by someone's words? Are you still holding on
to that hurt? Well, I learned the hard way that forgiving others is
something we do for ourselves, not for them. Years ago, my cousin
said some insulting things to me. I stayed angry for a long time. I didn't
return his calls or send him pictures of my kids growing up. I thought |
was hurting him, but I was only hurting myself. I was becoming an
angry, selfish person. Finally, I ran into my cousin at a family picnic. 1
decided to let go of my anger. As we hugged, I realized that I was doing
myself a favor by forgiving. Maybe that's a favor you can do for
yourself, as well.
Which statement best describes the author's purpose?
A. To persuade readers to agree with her side of the argument
O B. To inspire readers to let go of hurts from the past
C. To inform readers about the effects of being unforgiving
D. To explain to readers how she and her cousin made up
Answer:
C.- To inspire readers to let go of hurts from the past
Explanation:
Because you can't just hold on to it forever its going to keep on bothering you in the long run so people are going to have to forgive that person sooner or later.
Which point of view is being used in the sentence below? Martin wants to go to the baseball game on Friday night, but none of his friends want to go. They would all rather go to the school dance instead.
- second person point of view
- fourth person point of view
- third person point of view
- first person point of view.
Answer:
- third person point of view
Explanation:
- second person point of view - this is not true. If it was told from the second person's point of view it would say "You want to go..." or "You would all rather".
- fourth person point of view - this is not the correct answer. Forth person point of view would be "We want to go..." or "We would all rather..."
- third person point of view - this is the correct answer. The author is the one telling the story and he refers to both Martin and his friends in the third person, not telling the story from their personal point of view. The author is the third person is giving us an objective take on all people in the sentences.
- first person point of view. - this is not the right answer. If the sentence was from a first person point of view, it would say "I want to go..." or "I would rather go to..."
Lines 45–52: Which details in the text suggest that the narrator of this story is not reliable? What is it about this narrator that makes him seem unreliable?
This question is about "the tale tail heart"
Answer and Explanation:
The narrator is not a reliable narrator because he narrates the facts in first person, that way we only know what happens from his point of view, we have no other point of view to compare and have a panoramic view of all the facts, that is, our conclusions are manipulated by the narrator, he can lie and we will never know.
Furthermore, the narrator seems to be an unreliable person, since he has negative thoughts about the old man, who does not distrust him. This means that he behaves positively in the presence of the old man, but reveals a maleficent nature when he is alone with his thoughts.
