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.
–The Odyssey,
Homer

Write three full paragraphs on Effectiveness of Advertising and how it affects teens.
Answer:
Find the explanation below.
Explanation:
Advertising is a means of communication employed by the sellers of a product or service to influence potential consumers and to inform them of the features and benefits of the product/service. Advertising is very effective as it creates awareness of the product, and helps the buyer see how the product can help him.
This medium of communication is especially effective for teens as they are easily influenced and enticed by the things they see. Colorful advertisements that are tailored to the needs of teens can increase their desire for a product and eventually make them buy it.
Teens love activities that involve a great deal of energy. When energy drink producers incorporate sporting activities into their advertisements, teens are easily drawn to them and can then be converted to consumers of such drinks.

How could I love you more? I try to think of one lovely gift No lover yet in all the world has found; I think: If the cold somber1 gods Were hot with love as I am Could they not endow2 you with a star And fix bright youth forever in your limbs? Could they not give you all things that I lack? You should have loved a god; I am but dust. Yet no god loves as loves this poor frail dust What is this poem about?
Answer:
The poem is about the speaker's declaration of undying love for a girl/ woman he loves.
Explanation:
Richard Adlington's poem "Prelude" is a short poem of two stanzas that talk about the speaker's declaration of undying love for someone or 'something'. As the poem progresses, we learn that the love declaration was for a girl he loves.
The poem begins with the speaker declaring his love for the girl, admitting "I try to think of one lovely gift No lover yet in all the world has found". His love for the girl is almost akin to one's faithful and loyal love for one's religion, almost more so too. He bestows the girl with a love more divine than any god can do, "no god loves as loves this poor frail dust." The poet/ speaker declares his desire to bestow such love, a love more divine and strong, to the girl.

article about whether it is important to have music lessons at school
Answer:
Well in my honest opinion i am 50/50. Music lessons arent very impotant in life unless you want to become a musician and want to be in a band or be a singer. However, Music doesnt help you in any job unless it is actually a musically job. It doesnt help you to be a nurse, or police officer, or paramedic or anything apart from singing and bands etc. So if you wanted to grow up to be a musician then you can have music lessons. But most people dont want to. So that is why music lessons should be opiyional because most people dont like it but someone people do.
