Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

here are the means i thought would serve my turn:

a club, or staff, lay there along the fold—
an olive tree, felled green and left to season
for cyclops' hand. and it was like a mast
a lugger of twenty oars, broad in the beam—
a deep-sea-going craft—might carry:
so long, so big around, it seemed.

based on the epic simile, how should the reader picture the beam of wood odysseus found in the cave?

a: like a deep-sea-going ship or vessel
b : like an olive tree, just felled and still green
c: like the cyclops, large and wide
d: like the mast of an enormously large ship

1. find at least 9 adjectives from this opening passage used to describe the setting of the story- "to build a fire" setting: day had broken cold and gray, exceedingly cold and gray, when the man turned aside from the main yukon trail and climbed the high earth-bank, where a dim and little-travelled trail led eastward through the fat spruce timberland. it was a steep bank, and he paused for breath at the top, excusing the act to himself by looking at his watch. it was nine o'clock. there was no sun nor hint of sun, through there was not a cloud in the sky. it was a clear day, and yet there seemed an intangible pall over the face of things, subtle gloom that made the day dark, and that was due to the absence of sun. this fact did not worry the man. he was used to the lack of sun. it had been days since he had seen the sun, and he knew that a few more days must pass before that cheerful orb, due south, would just peep above the sky-line and dip immediately from view.
