Odysseus immediately thinks of a genius plan. He gets the giant extremely drunk and when asked what his name is, he tells Polyphemus that it is “Nobody.” At first this is confusing and the reader may question Odysseus’s motive, however, it turns out he was preparing for when the Cyclopes called for help. He called to his neighbors saying, “Nobody’s killing me now by fraud and not by force!” (9. 456) His neighbors did not come to help him, since they didn’t think he was in any danger. Despite his impressive actions, Odysseus also shows ignorance and a cowardly side.
I drew away, and his hand touched the string of beads which held the crucifix. It made an instant change in him, for the fury passed so quickly that I could hardly believe that it was ever there.” (Ch. 2, pg. 27) 2. “You are a clever man, friend John; you reason well, and your wit is bold; but you are to prejudiced.
I really like the one were the rioter was buying bread, wine, and other supplies. He also buys some poison to kill his
His voice is like butter. I’m afraid he’ll talk me back the other way I was. Only a week ago, pumping a kerosene hose, I thought: God, what fun!’”(Bradbury 85) With Faber's help, Montag returns to his job to confront Captain Beatty. Beatty recites many lines of several different works of literature, in attempt to change Montag back into a follower of society. Again, Beatty tries to bring Montag down one last time, his dying words are quoted from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: “There is no terror, Cassius, in your/ threats, for I am arm’d so strong in honesty that/ they pass me in an idle wind, which I respect not!” (Bradbury 119).
The Cask of Amontillado I like this story because how Montresor planned his revenge before taking actions and how he used Fortunate weaknesses to make the plan successful. I also like how Montresor’s motto connected to this story and to his actions. It explains everything. The thing that I didn’t like about the story is how Montresor got his revenge. He went too far.
“you all did love him once, not without cause: what cause withholds you then to mourn for him now”(citation). Here Antony depicts how the crowd once did love him but because a man has put false ideas into their heads, they turn on him. A citizen of Rome should stand for their beliefs, not the ones that are put into their heads even if it is by a powerful and honorable man. Not only does Antony show much emotion towards the subject, but so does Brutus when he speaks during his own eulogy. Here Brutus illustrates his love Rome, “not that I loved Caesar less, but I loved Rome more” (citation).
Odysseus’ quick thinking helps him and his men escape the island of Cyclops. Odysseus cleverly gives Cyclops a lot of wine, and blinds him when he goes to sleep, “So with our brand we bored that great eye socket while blood ran out around the red-hot bar” (337-338). Thus Odysseus is able to escape from the island of Cyclops because of his wit and strength. Not only is Odysseus clever, he is also proves to be a good leader. Odysseus displays leadership when faced with Charybdis, a monster that swallows the
“I drove them all three wailing”(966) Odysseus appoints the word “wailing” to illustrate the three men sobbing after eating the lotus. In the quote “when the young dawn with fingerprints of touched the world, I roused the men, gave orders to men, cast off morning lines”(978) he is describing the young dawn of fingerprints of rose. He is also showing his leadership. Finally as a result, Odysseus is a great commander in getting home safely. Furthermore, when he does reach home has to show his muscular strength again.
She didn’t decide to throw them and decided to do a quail in rose petal sauce. “To spare the quail the pain she felt, Tita moved sharply and decisively, finishing him off as an act of mercy”. What this magical realism shows is how Tita is trying to make peace and just forget about the past. Later the family tried out the dinner that Tita did. “On her the food seemed to act as an aphrodisiac, she began to feel an intense heat pulsing through her limbs”(Esquivel 51).
So people get that out of your heads about Black dads. This stereotype isn’t just for Blacks but for all. Contrary to popular belief, within all races people love to dine on the fine cuisine of fried chicken and Kool-Aid. Hispanics are my favorite to hang with; however, I’m guilty of assigning the common stereotypes to Hispanics. I thought Hispanics were good swimmers because of the immigrants’ stories.
