One theme found throughout the odyssey is that often comes when least expected.
which lines from the text best support this theme?
some god guided us
that night, for we could barely see our bows
in the dense fog around us
all hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the lotus, or you lose your hope of home.
my men were mutinous,
fools, on stores of wine. sheep after sheep they
butchered by the surf, and shambling cattle
the servants armed themselves, and all three took their stand beside the master of battle

Some god guided us

that night, for we could barely see our bows

in the dense fog around us

Explanation:

It is clear that the speaker did not know how it would be possible to traverse the dense fog without external help. He is sure that a god helped since he could not see the way as stated in: "we could barely see our bows ". The other lines are quite the opposite of help, since the men were mutinous.

happy new year to yo!

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
