Help!!! Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
My heart beat high now at the chance of action,
and drawing the sharp sword from my hip I went
along his flank to stab him where the midriff
holds the liver. I had touched the spot
when sudden fear stayed me: if I killed him
we perished there as well, for we could never
move his ponderous doorway slab aside.
So we were left to groan and wait for morning.

2.He wants to make the Cyclops his ally and friend.
3.He knows that they cannot move the boulder blocking the doorway.
4.He feels sorry for the Cyclops who lives all by himself.
Answer:
3. He knows that they cannot move the boulder blocking the doorway.
Explanation:
When the Cyclops attacks Odysseus and his men, Odysseus' first impulse is to attack and kill him to ensure the group's survival. However, they were inside the Cyclops' cave that closed the exit with a very heavy stone, impossible to be removed by humans. Only the Cyclops would be able to open that "door" and if Odysseus killed him, he and his crew would be trapped forever.

Answer and Explanation:
One morning Peter and Tony got up early to go on an adventure. They cycled to a small beach where they left their bicycles. "We want to go fishing," they told an old fisherman. "Will you lend us your rowing-boat so that we can try it?" "Yes, but you must not row to the east," the fisherman said. "The sea is very rough over there." The two boys climbed into the boat and set off. They rowed quickly towards the small island which, it just so happens, was located in the east.
With some difficulty, they landed and secured the boat. They had decided to spend a day as castaways to see if they would be able to survive like they saw people doing on TV. What the boys did not notice was that a raging storm had been getting closer and closer. All of a sudden, heavy rain and lightnings began to fall from the sky. Peter and Tony couldn’t even try to get back home, for now the sea was rougher than ever. After a few minutes, to make matters worse, their boat was dragged by the strong winds and the current. Scared to their bones, the boys could do nothing but wait to be rescued. Once the storm was gone, the same fisherman that had warned them earlier showed up in boat and took the boys back to the beach. Peter and Tony went back home humbled by the experience.

Answer:
Common nouns: train, sun, superhero, planet, kitchen, animal, car, boy, pig, secretary, pen, airline
Proper nouns: California, Park Avenue, Sun, John, Jupiter, Toyota, Europe, Batman, Egypt, Disneyland, November, Atlantic Ocean, K-mart
Explanation:
Common nouns are used to name any person, place, thing, or idea. In this case, the named entity is generic. For example, the word planet is a common noun. These nouns are not capitalized unless they are the first word of the sentence.
Proper nouns name of specific people, places, things, or ideas. For example, Jupiter, which is a specific planet, is a proper noun. Unlike common nouns, proper nouns are always be capitalized.
However, some nouns can be both common and proper depending on the context. An example of such a noun is sun. Just like the words moon and earth, sun isn't capitalized unless it's used in the astronomical context.

write a story about dont be faster than your shadow
Answer:
sorry if this isn't what you're looking for you said a story but anyway
The reason you're not faster than your shadow is simply because it is light. It is a microscopic difference that is reacting to you, so there are 2 reasons you can't be faster than you're shadow. it's at the speed of light. 2.Its reacting to your movements
Answer:
I can't think of a story but here are some stuff you can use
Explanation:
You wouldn't want to be faster than your shadow. If a shadow is supposed to represent darkness than you should keep it behind you. A Shadow is formed when light travels in straight lines. You are the light. You must walk foward. You are the light (good) that stands above the shadow (bad). A shadow is formed from light, so I guess no matter what you do, there will always be darkness in this world. That is life. Every action has a result.

Answer:
Before arriving to the United States, Gurung's life was always in danger: "Many of us were tortured and imprisoned. We had no choice but to flee to Nepal to save our lives".
He was from Bhutan but he had to go to Nepali's refugee camps. After twenty years, he decided to move to the United States. In the US, he kept struggling, he couldn't find a job and he didn't speak the language: "But here in the United States, my community continues to struggle.

Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn (...)".
However, Gurung explains that he now helps other refugees to have a successful transition between the place where they come from and the United States and he's very happy about it and about his family.

Explain why the figure of the bard, Demodocus, is important. What or who does he represent? ANSWERED ASAP PLS
Answer:
Demodocus is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.
Explanation:
Demodocus, whose name means "beloved of the people," has several important functions in book 8, not the least of which is that Demodocus gives us a clear picture of the importance of the bard in Bronze Age oral culture. In addition, his songs about Odysseus—and, more important, Odysseus's reaction to those songs—prompt the key question from Odysseus's Phaeacian host, King Alcinous: "Who are you?"

Sentence number four presents a variation of pattern, in relation to the sentences shown previously. This is because all the previous sentences express a conclusion of thought without the concealment of actions, that is, without the strategic shortening of the sentence.
