Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth?

A) Joyce emphasizes the suffering of his Penelope-inspired character to make his story more tragic than the original myth.

B) Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city rather than about a mythical Greek warrior.

C) Unlike Homer's Odysseus, Joyce shows that one can never truly return home from a war, either because one has personally changed or one's home changed.

D) Joyce expresses his opinion that the journey of Odysseus is minor compared to the ordinary pursuits of a modern person.

Answer:

B) Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city rather than about a mythical Greek warrior.

Explanation:

The statement that best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth is option B because Joyce makes a narration of a more relatable situation for modern readers.

Joyce uses the narration of a home invasion because it would be more relatable to modern readers than talking about fighting in wars or a mythical Greek warrior.

20 POINTS! Read the passage below and complete the task that follows.
"Scientists have learned a great deal from manned space flights. One unexpected discovery has been that humans are not well adapted to life in space. Life without gravity causes the fluid in a human body to float upward, which not only creates uncomfortable pressure in the head and chest, but also weakens the leg muscles. Long space missions can also cause astronauts to develop brittle bones, vision problems, and difficulties eating and sleeping enough.

NASA hopes to send astronauts to Mars in the 2030s. Scientists calculate a trip to Mars would take around 2.5 years. To date, the longest a human has lived in space is 438 days, a feat achieved by Russian cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov on the Mir space station in 1994–95."

Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining. Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersmen and the breeze take over.

I might have made it safely home, that time,
but as I came round Malea the current
took me out to sea, and from the north
a fresh gale drove me on, past Cythera.
Nine days I drifted on the teeming sea
before dangerous high winds.

He assisted the farmers occasionally in the lighter labors of their farms, helped to make hay, mended the fences, took the horses to water, drove the cows from pasture, and cut wood for the winter fire. He laid aside, too, all the dominant dignity and absolute sway with which he lorded it in his little empire, the school, and became wonderfully gentle and ingratiating. He found favor in the eyes of the mothers by petting the children, particularly the youngest; and like the lion bold, which whilom so magnanimously the lamb did hold, he would sit with a child on one knee, and rock a cradle with his foot for whole hours together.

HELP PlZ BAD AT ENGLISH CAN YOU TELL ME HOW I DID ON MY ESSAY




Summer Of 2019
Swish, Swish is the sound I wake up to the morning of August 6 of 2019.
I also hear the sound of my cousin Malichi’s voice,” Wake up Dyllen the fish should be jumping in Gelmark cove.”( A cove that my family named after my uncle won his first fishing Championship in). Anyway, I get up ready for a good three or four hours of fishing. On our way down to the boat dock, we all get all of our bait tied on will my uncle pulls the boat. And the second we hit the water I hop into the driver seat of my uncle's bass boat to go pick him up after he parked the truck. On the way to the cove, all we feel is the wind in my face and I am starting to wish I brought a hoodie. Once we get there we all grab our poles and start to fish, and even though we have been there 20 minutes we all have caught at least a 5-pound fish. Eventually, after another 20 minutes, we head to another spot. After the first 40 minutes of fishing and the last other spots, we head back to camp to get breakfast. When we arrive everyone is awake even some of my uncles' friends are up to having a good time eating good food. Also when we pull up into the camp all you can smell is the smell of bacon, fried eggs, rice, sausage, and other Asian breakfast foods that are too hard to pronounce, but masarap which means delicious in my family’s language according to my uncle. After a good meal we all get ready for a great time on the lake tubing, swimming, kayaking, fishing, and even sitting on the boat waiting for your family members get thrown off the tube, Once all of the fun is done in the middle of the lake we all go to the cove next to our campsite that is made for swimming. And once we are there we all get ready to swim make it safe for the little ones, so that means cleaning up our fishing stuff from this morning and putting it inside our boxes and safe away, as that is going on I am one with cleaning my fishing equipment and hop into the water to help my uncle move the kayak’s on the other side of the boat so we do not hit his friend's boat.”Ugh ooo ugh” is the noise I make getting into the kayak to help move it, but about 30 seconds later those noises are cut short by the pain that just shot up against my left elbow of a hook. So apparently my cousin Caden dropped a crankbait that has 6 hooks 3 on each end and 2 hooks got jabbed into me. Anyway, He dropped them and tried to get it as I was trying to get into the kayak but he fell into the water moving the bait closer to me and when he got the bait he started to doggy paddle back and as he was doing that he got my elbow, A little bit after that everyone was confused why I screamed until they saw the hook into my arm. When back on the boat getting ready to get the stupid hook out of me, scared to death that they are going to rip it out, and hearing them say I am a drama Queen. After finding it out, we got ready to go back to the campsite with me and my uncle to clean my wound. After that, we go back to the boat to go back to the rest of my family. And to my luck I see Caden crying for what he did to me on accident it felt worse on him than me.

4. Explain the significance of the following passage. Be sure to explain fully.
“He understood fully that he might actually be going to die; his arms, maintaining
his balance on the ledge, were trembling steadily now. And it occurred to him
then with all the force of a revelation that, if he fell, all he was ever going to have
out of life he would then, abruptly, have had. Nothing, then, could ever be
changed; and nothing more-no least experience or pleasure-could ever be added
to his life. He wished, then, that he had not allowed his wife to go off by herself
tonight-and on similar nights. He thought of all the evenings he had spent away
from her, working, and he regretted them. He thought wonderingly of his fierce
ambition and of the direction his life had taken; he thought of the hours he'd spent
by himself, filling the yellow sheet that had brought him out here. Contents of the
dead man's pockets, he thought with sudden fierce anger, a wasted life"(6-7).
