Homer, who was a very gifted writer, used a great deal of symbolism in The Odyssey. The sea, the bow, and others are a few of them. They are crucial for readers because they show the poem's hidden context.
You can discover the important symbols, their significance, and their worth in the epic.
Penelope’s Shroud
Penelope's veil is one of the epic's main symbols. It symbolizes the deception the Queen of Ithaca uses to thwart her suitors.
The shroud's weaver, Penelope, is introduced to the readers. Grasp The Odyssey's main premise requires an understanding of this minor detail. Penelope discovers another means to fend off her pesky suitors because she lacks the physical stamina to do so. She demonstrates her dedication to her cherished husband through her wit and cunning.
Sea
Grasp the overall picture of the entire epic requires an understanding of the setting of the Odyssey. The entire poem is an account of the main character's voyage by ship from Troy to Ithaca. As a result, the sea serves as both one of The Odyssey's primary emblems and its principal setting.
The sea has two connotations in the epic:
Life in general, with its hardships, flaws, dangers, and human fragility. susceptibility before gods.Bow of Odysseus
Homer presents Odysseus as an immensely strong, crafty, and intelligent warrior. His bow is a representation of all these personality qualities. The return of the King of Ithaca to his ancestral house is a major event in Book 21.
Odysseus returns home as a beggar because he is unwilling to expose his true self. Sending the obnoxious Penelope's suitors out from the house presents him with a formidable challenge here. The bow is important in this situation.
Wedding bed
One of the major symbols in The Odyssey is the bed that Penelope and Odysseus shared. It stands for the couple's marriage and their unwavering love for one another.
Before Odysseus left for the Trojan War, the bed was constructed from an olive tree's wood. The bed is immovable, which is a secret only the spouses are aware of in the novel. Penelope asks her servant to take it out of the bedroom in front of Odysseus. To his wife's order, the King responds with shock and provides identification. Odysseus is put to the test in this manner while feigning to be a beggar by Penelope.

1. what is nationalism?
2. what is sectionalism?
Answer:
nationalism is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation (as in a group of people), especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty (self-governance) over its homeland. sectionalism is the restriction of interest to a narrow sphere; undue concern with local interests or petty distinctions at the expense of general well-being.
Answer:
Nationalism is an idea and movement that promotes the interests of a particular nation, especially with the aim of gaining and maintaining the nation's sovereignty over its homeland. Nationalism holds that each nation should govern itself, free from outside interference, that a nation is a natural and ideal basis for a polity and that the nation is the only rightful source of political power. It further aims to build and maintain a single national identity, based on shared social characteristics of culture, ethnicity, geographic location, language, politics, religion, traditions and belief in a shared singular history, and to promote national unity or solidarity. Nationalism seeks to preserve and foster a nation's traditional cultures and cultural revivals have been associated with nationalist movements. It also encourages pride in national achievements and is closely linked to patriotism. Nationalism is often combined with other ideologies such as conservatism or socialism.
Sectionalism is loyalty to one's own region or section of the country, rather than to the country as a whole. Sectionalism occurs in many countries, such as in the United Kingdom, most notably in the constituent country of Scotland, where various sectionalist/separatist political organizations and parties have existed since the early 1920s, beginning with the Scots National League. Today, Scottish sectionalism is most strongly associated and advocated by the Scottish National Party (SNP), which can be described as both sectionalism and separatist. The SNP advocates for both Scottish independence and more autonomy for Scotland while remaining a part of the United Kingdom.

A the Era of Good Feelings
B the Presidency of George Washington
Cthe War of 1812
D the Presidency of James Madison
Answer: (A) The Era of Good Feelings
Explanation: Although the “era” generally is considered coextensive with President James Monroe’s two terms (1817–25), it really began in 1815, when for the first time, thanks to the ending of the Napoleonic Wars, American citizens could afford to pay less attention to European political and military affairs.
Answer: B
Explanation: The years between the election to the presidency of James Monroe in 1816 and of John Quincy Adams in 1824 have long been known in American history as the Era of Good Feelings. The phrase was conceived by a Boston editor during Monroe’s visit to New England early in his first term. That a representative of the heartland of Federalism could speak in such positive terms of the visit by a Southern president whose decisive election had marked not only a sweeping Republican victory but also the demise of the national Federalist Party was dramatic testimony that former foes were inclined to put aside the sectional and political differences of the past.

Candice is building a rectangular piece of a fence according to the plans her boss gave her. One of the angles is not labeled. Write an equation, and use it to determine the measure of the unknown angle
Answer:
41
Explanation:
Since the sum of angles of a triangle is 180, we add the given angles then subtract from 180. We see its a square cut in half diagonally so they are both congruent(same).
The little square is a right angle which simply is 90 degrees, and 49.
49+90=139
180-139=41

Explanation:
All of the following nations invaded and attacked Israel upon its creation EXCEPT:
A. Ottoman Empire
B. iraq
C. Egypt
D. Saudi Arabia
Answer:
A. Ottoman Empire
Explanation:
First of all, with basic history. Israel didn't even exist during the time of the Ottoman Empire as the region was called Filistin (Palestine) at the time. After the conquest of the Ottoman Empire by the Entente in WWI was when the creation of a Jewish state was mentioned. In the Sevres Agreement, Britain would retain control of Palestine until it was ready to be independent (which was total lies). Britain started allowing Israelis to return to Palestine and over time, the population of Palestine went up in the thousands. Palestine was no longer Arab or Palestinian but Israeli (Side note: After the fall of the Ottoman empire, Mustafa Kemal Ataturk led a war against the Entente and Armenia and managed to create a Turkish Republic). Upon the creation of Israel, almost all Middle Eastern and Arab nations declared war and attempted to invade Israel including Iraq, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia.
