As the stela was made approximately eight hundred years earlier – 300 BCE compared to the Plate’s 500 CE estimate – its design is much more simplistic when it comes to the body. Horus’s form is very rigid, as he is standing and facing directly forward; Dionysus, on the other hand, is shown lounging and enjoying the scene unfolding before him, and the only thing missing is the ambient music. The material used also seems to show a difference in the purpose of the works. The stone stela of Horus would have been easier to duplicate so that many could be used in a procession, while the silver plate of Dionysus is most likely the only copy available and kept under watchful eyes. While the tablet may have been in various tombs and households, the plate would most likely be kept in one and only one place such as a

This is proved many times throughout the epic, but especially when Odysseus and his men land onto Cyclopes’ island. Polyphemus, a giant, eats six of Odysseus’ men as he is angry with them. Odysseus’ quick thinking helps him and his men escape the island of Cyclops.
Steinbeck uses the technique of putting an ellipsis. “It was thirty-five feet long...” (Steinbeck 24). This sentence is after mentioning he is a boat builder, the ellipsis after stating how big the boat is was to show that thirty-five feet was impressively long that the speaker didn’t even have to finish the sentence off to make the reader realize how amazing that was. And even then, that is where the passage finishes, making the readers last thought of Henri be that he was extremely skilled. The author does this to give Henri a new level of respect from the reader after him being ambushed for painting horribly.
