Answer:
Reluctantly, Odysseus tells the Phaeacians the sorry tale of his wanderings. From Troy, the winds sweep him and his men to Ismarus, city of the Cicones. The men plunder the land and, carried away by greed, stay until the reinforced ranks of the Cicones turn on them and attack. Odysseus and his crew finally escape, having lost six men per ship. A storm sent by Zeus sweeps them along for nine days before bringing them to the land of the Lotus-eaters, where the natives give some of Odysseus’s men the intoxicating fruit of the lotus. As soon as they eat this fruit, they lose all thoughts of home and long for nothing more than to stay there eating more fruit. Only by dragging his men back to the ship and locking them up can Odysseus get them off the island.
Odysseus and his men then sail through the murky night to the land of the Cyclopes, a rough and uncivilized race of one-eyed giants. After making a meal of wild goats captured on an island offshore, they cross to the mainland. There they immediately come upon a cave full of sheep and crates of milk and cheese. The men advise Odysseus to snatch some of the food and hurry off, but, to his and his crew’s detriment, he decides to linger. The cave’s inhabitant soon returns—it is the Cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Polyphemus makes a show of hospitality at first, but he soon turns hostile. He devours two of Odysseus’s men on the spot and imprisons Odysseus and the rest in his cave for future meals.

Odysseus wants to take his sword to Polyphemus right then, but he knows that only Polyphemus is strong enough to move the rock that he has placed across the door of his cave. Odysseus thus devises and executes a plan. The next day, while Polyphemus is outside pasturing his sheep, Odysseus finds a wooden staff in the cave and hardens it in the fire. When Polyphemus returns, Odysseus gets him drunk on wine that he brought along from the ship. Feeling jovial, Polyphemus asks Odysseus his name. Odysseus replies that his name is “Nobody” (9.410). As soon as Polyphemus collapses with intoxication, Odysseus and a select group of his men drive the red-hot staff into his eye. Polyphemus wakes with a shriek, and his neighbors come to see what is wrong, but they leave as soon as he calls out, “Nobody’s killing me” (9.455). When morning comes, Odysseus and his men escape from the cave, unseen by the blind Polyphemus, by clinging to the bellies of the monster’s sheep as they go out to graze. Safe on board their ships and with Polyphemus’s flock on board as well, Odysseus calls to land and reveals his true identity. With his former prisoners now out of reach, the blind giant lifts up a prayer to his father, Poseidon, calling for vengeance on Odysseus.

How was your understanding of utopia and dystopia developed through the reading in this unit (The Giver) ?
Answer:
Throughout Lois Lowry’s The Giver, the main character Jonas realizes there are more elements to life than he has been led to believe. The Community, a seemingly utopian society with strict rules about everything from behavior to birthday presents, does not include important aspects like color and emotion. Jonas also realizes that the Community does not allow books, other than government approved text books. As he begins to gain knowledge and memories from the Receiver, Jonas realizes that the utopian society he has been part of might not be so perfect. This lesson explores how The Giver addresses issues of personal identity, memory, and the value of reading and education. It also explores how this newer read relates to other famous classics in this genre and books that students have read on their own.

Read the excerpt from Seaplanes by Roberto Barerra
Flying boats have a fuselage, or body, that looks and acts like a ship’s hull. This hull enables them to float on the water very easily. Two small floats underneath its wings keep the flying boat stable in rough water. These seaplanes are usually larger and more stable on water than floatplanes are. A floatplane is a seaplane that has two long floats, called pontoons, under the fuselage. This is the only part of the plane that touches the water. Unlike flying boats, floatplanes often come in a wide variety of sizes. An amphibious vehicle can be either a flying boat or a floatplane with wheels. This allows the aircraft to land on both land and water.
Which BEST describes the purpose of the paragraph?
A.
to explain how seaplanes are used
B.
to encourage people to use seaplanes
C.
to list all of the types of seaplanes
D.
to describe the different parts of seaplanes

Answer:Spiderman, The Matrix and The Lion King all follow Joseph Campbell's monomyth. Campbell wrote about the hero's journey in 1949, and people today still read and enjoy the hero’s journey. All hero’s journey stories have trials and adventure. The Book of three by Lloyd Alexander is a hero’s Journey.
The ordinary world is really boring to the hero in a hero’s Journey. Taran lives in Caer Dallben in the land of Prydain. Taran is bored because he wants to go on an adventure but he is stuck in a farm making horse shoes for a horse they don't have. All hero’s journeys start in a boring world and the hero’s are eager for adventure. Later Taran faces trials.
Trails are the tests of strength and bravery towards a hero. Taran had a trial when he had to fight the horned king. It was really difficult at first but he succeeded and he had another trial when he was running from the cauldron-born he thought he was going to get caught but he didn’t because of his bravery. All heroes have hardships to overcome. Once the problem is solved , The hero returns to the ordinary world.
The last stage of the hero's Journey is the return. The hero goes back to the ordinary world but they have changed. The whole gang goes back to Caer Dallben, and the stage is set for the next story.
The Book of three is a hero's Journey by Lloyd alexander. Joseph Campbell’s monomyth is important because the monomyth isn’t just structure, it's also how we relate ourselves to the movie we're watching or the book we're reading. Taran started his trials and he fought the horned king bravely and he returned to Caer Dallben safe and sound without any injuries. The hero’s Journey is just like our real life we want to go places not be stuck at home in quarantine some of us been through alot like they lost someone in life or get there hearts broken those are your trials but you should never give up and always keep your head up and you would be successful .

Discuss which issues you believe a realist author would write about, if he were writing today.
Answer: If a realist author would write today I think he would've written about the pandemic.
Explanation:
Answer:
See explanation!
Explanation:
Realist authors tend to write about true and actual things, regardless of whether the things are "good" or "bad" in nature. For example, a realist author would write about current problems with the world instead of fictional tales involving magic.
Realist authors of today would mostly likely write about the Coronavirus pandemic, the recent impeachment of the 45th US President, and even the snow and power outages in Texas. Most, if not all, current events on the news are also acceptable issues for realist authors!
