Which statements describe how Antinous is portrayed in this excerpt from Book 21 of the Odyssey?Antinous saw, and said:
"Hence to your fields, ye rustics! hence away,
Nor stain with grief the pleasures of the day;
Nor to the royal heart recall in vain
The sad remembrance of a perish'd man.
Enough her precious tears already flow—
Or share the feast with due respect; or go
To weep abroad, and leave to us the bow,
No vulgar task! Ill suits this courtly crew
That stubborn horn which brave Ulysses drew.
I well remember (for I gazed him o'er
While yet a child), what majesty he bore!
And still (all infant as I was) retain
The port, the strength, the grandeur of the man."

He said, but in his soul fond joys arise,
And his proud hopes already win the prize.
To speed the flying shaft through every ring,
Wretch! is not thine: the arrows of the king
Shall end those hopes, and fate is on the wing!

-make source cards

Writing a research paper is not just writing a simple descriptive report in a plain manner. But it involves, straightforward and comprehensible writing skill which elucidates the needed literatures, sources and key variables for the readers to understand. 

Answer:

Pick a limited topic

Brainstorm

Prepare a working outline

Obtain potential sources

Make source cards

Explanation:

After you have decided upon a limited topic, suitable perhaps for an 8- to 12-page paper, begin brainstorming. You may need additional information in order to gain a general overview of the topic. An encyclopedia, such as the Encyclopedia Britannica or the Encyclopedia Americana; textbooks; or references, such as histories, biographical references, and specific dictionaries, will serve this purpose. While you are doing this early reading, you may also begin a "working" outline, or first version, of your proposed outline.

The next step is to begin accumulating potential sources of information, called a "working bibliography." One place to check for sources is the subject section of the computerized catalog (formerly card catalog). You may also look in the Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, an index to hundreds of popular magazines. Textbooks, the vertical file (pamphlets), specialized indexes (such as New York Times Index and the Book Review Index ), and bibliographies also provide sources. Many researchers find 3 x 5 index cards useful for maintaining the "working bibliography."
