What is athena trying to accomplish by saying the following?

"father zeus—you other happy gods who never die—
never let any sceptered king be kind and gentle now,
not with all his heart, or set his mind on justice—
no, let him be cruel and always practice outrage." (5, 8-11) *
a) she wants to punish mankind forever with tyrant kings.
b) she is manipulating zeus with irony. if a "just" king, like odysseus, is punished by the gods, why would any king be just?
c) she is implicating zeus's unjust behavior. as king of the gods, he is setting a bad example for mortal kings by ruling poorly.
d) she is defending odysseus's questionable reign as king of ithaca by pointing out that lots of kings are tyrants.

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.

Read the excerpt from "children of the drug wars.” by sending these children away, "you are handing them a death sentence,” says josé arnulfo ochoa ochoa, an expert in honduras with world vision international, a christian humanitarian aid group. this abrogates international conventions we have signed and undermines our credibility as a humane country. it would be a disgrace if this wealthy nation turned its back on the 52,000 children who have arrived since october, many of them legitimate refugees. the underlined words and phrases have strong negative connotations. how do they support the author’s purpose? they draw attention to the opinion that the united states is not doing enough to these children. they show that there is a desperate need for all countries to be willing to refugees. they show that the united states has participated in international conventions on how to handle the refugee crisis. they make it clear that the united states will lose the respect of other nations if it does not these children.
