Which stanza from Homer's Odyssey shows that Telemachus is not yet ready to take the place of his father, Ulysses?STANZA #1
"I too may try, and if this arm can wing
The feather’d arrow through the destined ring,
Then if no happier night the conquest boast,
I shall not sorrow for a mother lost;
But, bless’d in her, possess those arms alone,
Heir of my father’s strength, as well as throne."

STANZA #2
He spoke; then rising, his broad sword unbound,
And cast his purple garment on the ground.
A trench he open'd: in a line he placed.
The level axes, and the points made fast
(His perfect skill the wondering gazers eyed,
The game as yet unseen, as yet untried).

STANZA #3

And grasp'd the bow, and twang'd it in his hand.

A modest boldness on his cheek appear'd:
And thrice he hoped, and thrice again he fear'd.

metaphor
alliteration
hyperbole
euphemism
oxymoron

Answers

The answer is hyperbole. It is very unlikely that there was absolutely no money, absolutely nothing to buy, and absolutely nowhere to go. A hyperbole is a gross exaggeration, meaning that what is being said has been expanded to prove a point. In this case, the point is being that the Great Depression was difficult for everyone.

If the author tells the story but does not take part, it is told in ____ person. first second third

Answers

If the author tells the story, but does not take part, it is told in the third person point of view. The third person point of view is used when the author does not refer neither to himself nor to the reader. Usually, authors using this point of view use the pronouns he, she and it to refer to the characters. This is the most common type of point of view used in different kinds of writing.

Answer: third person
