Panic can cause people to act before thinking.
Answer:
Odysseus made it sound as if "nobody" stabbed Polyphemus in the eye, so the other cyclops let him go. The curse that is revealed a the end of his encounter with the Cyclops foreshadows Odysseus's difficult journey.
Explanation:
The clever word play:
Odysseus tries to outsmart and taunt the Cyclops at every turn, first by getting him drunk on wine and then by telling the Cyclops that his name is Outis, which means nobody. This is so that when the Cyclops is telling the other giants who injured him, it sounds like Polyphemus is shouting "Nobody" stabbed him in the eye. This confuses the other Cyclops who may have otherwise tried to help Polyphemus catch Odysseus.
The Curse:
Odysseus and his men sail away from the island by tricking the now blinded Cyclops that they were part of the herd of sheep that Polyphemus was tending. The curse comes when Odysseus decides to try to taunt the monster further and shouts out his real name. What this does is reveal his identity and allows the Cyclops to curse Odysseus in revenge. Polyphemus prays to his father, the great Poseidon, asking that Odysseus's journey back home to Ithaca be fraught with the loss of his friends and his ship.

The definition of a sustainable environment is an <span>environment that can simultaneously meet the needs of the ones living in the environment without damaging it.

D also does not make sense because there is nothing concerning the equilibrium between those who exist in the environment and the environment. Therefore A should be your best answer by choice.</span>
Answer:
At the story's conclusion, Dillard reveals that being chased made her happy in some ways. To quote Annie at the end of the book, "If in that snowy backyard, the driver of the black Buick had cut off our heads, Mikey’s and mine, I would have died happy." Dillard isn't telling her readers to be foolish for fun. The author says it's okay if you get in trouble occasionally because being happy says the author. Annie knew it was wrong to throw snowballs at passing cars, but she did it anyway. The author exaggerates the thrilling parts of the story. Dillard describes the three runners' many twists and turns to help readers understand Annie's exhilaration. Dillard ends the essay without explaining what the man does after calling the kids "foolish." The author shifts focus to how she felt rather than what the enraged businessman did. Annie Dillard writes for readers to relate to and learn from.
