Different cultures take different approaches to the way they transmit knowledge. These varieties are often classified in two categories: oral and literary traditions.
An oral society is one in which knowledge is transmitted from person to person through speech. We can compare this to the children's game "Telephone," in which children pass along a message by whispering in each other's ear. There are several advantages to this approach. For example, through this method, people only need to memorize the main parts of a story, while being able to alter the details slightly. This requires a memorization that is less precise and more analytical. However, it can also lead to many inaccuracies and unintentional changes.
On the other hand, a literary culture tends to write information down. This allows people to seek out the source and read it without having to meet someone who can recite it to them. This ensures that the text remains the same throughout time. It also allows for more information to be stored. However, memorizing such a text is a more difficult task, as every word and detail needs to remain identical upon recitation. This would be the process a bard would have to follow when reciting The Odyssey.
Although each method would have a different impact on the information that is shared and the effects it has in society, there is no one single perfect method. They each come with advantages and disadvantages for the societies that practice them.

Answer:
The cyclops is compared to a mast because of his size.
Explanation:
"...but Cyclops went on filling up his belly with manflesh...then lay down like a mast among his sheep."
A mast is a giant shaft, usually on a ship that carries the sail. It is large to withstand the stress of the wind against the sail. The cyclops is also large and he fills up on the flesh of men making him larger. Laying amongst the sheep implies that he is quite full, and going for rest.

*TWELFTH NIGHT BY WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE*
Could someone please give me a quote from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and then explain how it could be hard for some people to understand. (plus the meaning). I need an example for my essay, THANKS
"If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.
That strain again, it had a dying fall.
O, it came o’er my ear like the sweet sound
That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour. Enough, no more,
’Tis not so sweet now as it was before.
[Music ceases]
O spirit of love, how quick and fresh art thou
That, notwithstanding thy capacity
Receiveth as the sea, naught enters there,
Of what validity and pitch so e’er,
But falls into abatement and low price
Even in a minute! So full of shapes is fancy
That it alone is high fantastical."
(I.i.1–15)
This is kind of long, but you can take bits of it. This line said by Orsino asks the musicians to give him so much musical love-food that he will overdose (“surfeit”) and cease to desire love any longer. Through these words, Shakespeare introduces the image of love as something unwanted, something that comes upon people unexpectedly and that is not easily avoided. But this image is complicated by Orsino’s comment about the relationship between romance and imagination: “So full of shapes is fancy / That it alone is high fantastical,” he says, relating the idea of overpowering love (“fancy”) to that of imagination (that which is “fantastical”). Through this connection, the play raises the question of whether romantic love has more to do with the reality of the person who is loved or with the lover’s own imagination. For Orsino and Olivia, both of whom are willing to switch lovers at a moment’s notice, imagination often seems more powerful than reality.

Explanation:
In his poem "Cuttings (later)," Theodore Roethke writes, "I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing, / In my veins, in my bones I feel it,--" (lines 5-6). In a pair of poems--"Cuttings" and "Cuttings (later),"--that largely describe the behavior of plants, this moment stands out as one in which we see a comparison made between plants and the speaker of the poem. What do you think the speaker means here, saying he "feels" "that sucking and sobbing"? Explain, in light of the rest of the two poems.
Answer: The speaker means that he relates to a spiritual level with the plants, feeling identified with how chopped the plants are, and how he had to "suck and sob" to grow from the struggle.
Explanation: Roethke wrote these two poems with a sense of unity towards the life of the plants. In both of them, he implies that relating to how destroyed and wounded the plants feel for being chopped, takes him to a spiritual level where he finds some growth. In the lines; "I can hear, underground, that sucking and sobbing, / In my veins, in my bones, I feel it,--" from "Cuttings (later)", the author says that he "feels" that "sucking and sobbing", meaning that he had to suffer like plants, to grow from the pain.

In "Two Kinds," how do June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story? How do the interactions between June and her mother illustrate this change?
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In "Two Kinds," June's feelings about her mother change from the beginning to the end of the story in the following way. June is the protagonist of the story and serves as the narrator too. We can read in the firsts pages of the story that June´s mother is so possessive and tries to control the life of her daughter, June. It seems that her mother has so high expectations for her life and her demands upset June. For instance, the mother tries to make June a great piano performer but June is not interested in becoming a musician neither has the talent to do so.
However, when her mother dies, June understands that the interaction they had was because June´s mother had a difficult life in China, and the purpose of her mother's demands was that June could have much better opportunities in the United States to make her successful.
"Two Kinds" is a story written by Amy Tan, that is included in her book of 1989 called "The Joy Luck Club."
If the following statement occurred in the body of a speech, it would be an example of what kind of connective?As I shall explain next, solving the problem of groundwater contamination involves two steps: limiting new development and requiring builders to use more efficient septic systems.
Answer:
Internal preview.
Explanation:
Internal previews are defined as the type of connectives that occur immediately after the transition and are primarily employed to direct or foreshadow the readers/audience about the upcoming main point that is going to be covered next. The speaker usually lists the sub-points which together make up the main point.
The given statement would be characterized as the 'internal preview' kind of connective if it occurred in a speech as it is a brief statement that forecasts the upcoming point of the speech('the two types of solving the problem of groundwater contamination'). It helps in preparing the audience for the next idea and also in maintaining order in the speech that comprehends better understanding.

I'm always happy to help :)The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator gives up his plan to murder the old man. comes back another night to murder the old man. continues with his plan to murder the old man. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Read the first passage from "The Tell-Tale Heart” that Karishma read.
I had my head in, and was about to open the lantern, when my thumb slipped upon the tin fastening, and the old man sprang up in bed, crying out—"Who's there?"
After reading the passage, Karishma predicted that the narrator would get caught by the old man.
Now read the second passage that Karishma read.
I kept quite still and said nothing. For a whole hour I did not move a muscle, and in the meantime I did not hear him lie down. He was still sitting up in the bed listening;—just as I have done, night after night, hearkening to the death watches in the wall.
The most logical revision for Karishma to make to her prediction is that the narrator
A. gives up his plan to murder the old man.
B. comes back another night to murder the old man.
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
D. eventually admits his presence to the old man.
Answer:
C. continues with his plan to murder the old man.
Explanation:
According to the first excerpt, it was logical that based on the clues and events available, Kashima would assume that the narrator was going to be caught by the old man because the old man sighted him entering his room.
However, from the second excerpt which shows that although the old man woke up, the narrator did not make any noise to betray his presence, he did not leave the scene, neither did he change his mind and Kashima can conclude that the narrator will continue with his plan to murder the old man.

Answer:
Coid-19 was a terrible pandemic but before I can tell you why, what even is the Coronavirus? The Coronavirus (otherwise known as Coid-19 or Coid) is an illness caused by a virus that is spread from person to person. Being infected with Coid-19 can either result in no symptoms or severe symptoms. You can be infected by someone who has Coid-19 if you are within 6 feet or an arms length away from them. SARS-CoV-2 (Coronavirus) was first identified in China and is believed to have switched species from Bats to Humans. Some scientists and part of the public believe that Coid started in the United States, however there's not significant evidence for this claim. Since Coid can infect people so easily, it is a very dangerous virus especially in the heavily connected world we live in today. This allowed the virus to spread quickly. The United States has had an especially hard time recovering from the pandemic while the rest of the world has already returned to a relative normal. The Coid pandemic has forced many businesses to close due to the lack of people going outside to buy things from the businesses. During the pandemic the health branch has faces many challenges to attempt to weaken the affect of the virus by helping patients and staying safe themselves. The N95 and KN95 masks are very important for Nurses and Doctors to wear as they filter every breath of air you take and every breath of air you exhale, keeping you and your patient safe. However, the supply of the N95 branch of masks was very limited at the beginning of the pandemic leaving many Hospital workers feeling unsafe during work. This is why the Coid pandemic was a terrible pandemic (as if there is any good pandemic).

Read the formal email, and then answer the question. Subject: Traffic Concern Dear Principal Miller, As you know, the main entrance to the high school is on Main Street. This road becomes jammed at the beginning of the school day. The traffic is lined up all the way to the light at Main Street and Blake Lane, and it is a very short light. The green light for traffic turning from Blake Lane to Main Street is especially short. It takes at least 20 minutes just to get through this light. As a result, students are often late getting to their first class in the morning. In addition, drivers are tempted to go through yellow or red lights since so few cars get through. I did some research and found that there have been three accidents in the last month alone. Although these have all been minor collisions, they create major delays and a safety hazard for students trying to get to school. I hope that you will look into these issues before there is a more serious accident. Sincerely, Joanna Mason Senior at Blake High School What is the purpose of this email? to request information about a specific problem to discuss reasons to start school at a later time to introduce a problem with the timing of traffic lights to provide an excuse for why students are often late
The purpose of the email is to present a problem with the time of the traffic lights, as shown in the penultimate answer option.
What is an objective in an email?It is the effect that email is intended to cause.It is the purpose for which the email was written.The email shows how the traffic lights work in front of the school during busy periods. This underscores the purpose of the email to show a problem with the opening hours of the traffic lights and how it harms the students and staff of the school.

Match each literary device with the reason authors use it. imagery symbolism alliteration oxymoron makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words arrowRight represents an abstract idea with a concrete object arrowRight calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words arrow Right creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind arrow Right
Answer:
Imagery- creates a clear picture in the reader’s mind.
Symbolism- represents an abstract idea with a concrete object.
Alliteration- calls attention to certain words and creates a rhythm with words.
Oxymoron- makes readers pause and think about the contradiction created with two opposing words.
Explanation:
There are numerous literary devices that writers use in their works. Such literary devices or techniques allows them to perfectly present their ideas and proposed effects to the readers.
Imagery is the use of descriptive words to help readers paint a picture in their heads about what is talked about. This also allows the presentation of ideas in such a way that the readers can identify and even imagine the scenes of the story, giving it a perfect way of expression to the writer's words.
eg, He wore a white crisp shirt and bright red trousers.
Symbolism is the use of certain symbols to signify or represent ideas, themes, and purposes. It uses certain objects or even words to represent or stand for an abstract idea that the writer wants to convey rather than directly state it. It makes reading more interesting and fun.
eg, A dove is a symbol of peace.
Alliteration is the use of the same letters of a given word in quick succession or close quarters. This creates a form of rhythm to the words used, making certain words or phrases stand out and also provide a bit of musicality to the words/ work.
eg, The baby blue basket and bib make for a great combination of colors for the whole dreary scene.
An oxymoron is when two contrasting words are placed together in a given sentence. This rhetorical device is self-contradictory but provides a great impact or effect in the sentence.
eg, When we went to meet him, we never expect him to be seriously funny.
