Where does this paragraph belong in an essay

But anguish lies ahead; the god who thunders on the land prepares it, not to be shaken from your track, implacable, in rancor for the son whose eye you blinded. one narrow strait may take you through his blows: denial of yourself, restraint of shipmates. when you make landfall on thrinakia first and quit the violet sea, dark on the land you'll find the grazing herds of helios by whom all things are seen, all speech is known. avoid those kine, hold fast to your intent, and hard seafaring brings you all to ithaka. but if you raid the beeves, i see destruction for ship and crew. which theme is reflected in the passage? it is important to take responsibility for your actions. long-term goals are more important than short-term gains. the true measure of wisdom is overcoming your pride. the advantage of travel is that it teaches you to value home.

apparatus and a book or two from the table, to make
room for the tray which Leah now brought, and then
herself handed me the refreshments. I felt rather
confused at being the object of more attention than I
had ever before received, and, that too, shown by my

to consider she was doing anything out of her place, I
thought it better to take her civilities quietly.

What is that main focus of “What’s Your Story”?

PLEASE HELP!!

I will tell you a story that is only half true. I first went out of the country when I was about 20 years old. Some friends and I went to Hawaii on a vacation. During our trip, we spent most of the time lying around the beach.
One night, we went on a moonlight cruise. The boat we went on had a glass bottom, so we could see all the beautiful sea life floating underneath us. The moonlight would hit the glass just so, causing shadows to appear and the sea creatures to seem almost mythological. I think it’s one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. So enraptured with nature were we that we didn’t see the boat approaching ours.
Imagine my surprise when our boat tour was boarded by pirates. We were literally scared speechless. Luckily, they didn’t speak a language we could understand anyway. Everyone had to surrender all of their valuable items. I lost my camera with all of my pictures from our trip, the diamond studs I had received as a high school graduation present, and my favorite watch. But thank goodness that was all I lost. And the story I lived to tell was more than worth it.

but on the spot I told them: 'Back, and quickly!
Out to sea again!' My men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. Sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle,
feasting,—while fugitives went inland, running
to call to arms the main force of Cicones.

Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen
Keller and then answer the question that follows.

The morning after my teacher came she led me into her room and gave me a doll. The little blind children at the Perkins Institution had sent it and Laura Bridgman had dressed it; but I did not know this until afterward. When I had played with it a little while, Miss Sullivan slowly spelled into my hand the word "d-o-l-l." I was at once interested in this finger play and tried to imitate it. When I finally succeeded in making the letters correctly I was flushed with childish pleasure and pride. Running downstairs to my mother I held up my hand and made the letters for doll. I did not know that I was spelling a word or even that words existed; I was simply making my fingers go in monkey-like imitation. In the days that followed I learned to spell in this uncomprehending way a great many words, among them pin, hat, cup and a few verbs like sit, stand and walk. But my teacher had been with me several weeks before I understood that everything has a name. I left the well-house eager to learn. Everything had a name, and each name gave birth to a new thought. As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to me.

Which of the following best summarizes the excerpt?
Helen's teacher taught her to finger spell doll so she knew how to tell her teacher what toy she wanted to play with.
Helen was excited to learn that everything had a name so that she could talk with her teacher.
Helen liked to touch all the objects in the house so she knew which ones she wanted to play with.
Helen's teacher taught her all objects have a name opening the world of language.

his height. How plumes for his Napoleonic hats
were purchased in Paris and shipped in vacuum-
packed boxes to the Island. How his uniforms
were trimmed with tassels and gold epaulettes
and red sashes, pinned with his medals,
crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself
in dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white
gloves-all of this in a tropical country where
men wore guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets,
short-sleeved shirts worn untucked so the body
