STEP 5: WRITE YOUR HOOK
The beginning of your essay is called the hook because it "hooks your readers attention. The hook should relate to the topic of your essay, but it can take many forms. It can be:
1. An anecdote (a very short story): Describe a time when you've been asked to share a password, or a time when you've asked someone to share a password with you. What happened afterward?
2. A surprising fact: Find a fact that will raise your readers' eyebrows. Several surprising facts are included in the article. You can also do some research to find one that is not included in the article.
3. A rhetorical question (a question to which you don't expect an answer): Ask your readers a question that reflects your point of view. Here's one way you could structure your question: "Is sharing a password for a streaming service really
4. A quote: Find a thought-provoking quote that relates to the topic of your essay.
Choose one of the ideas above, or use your own idea, and write a hook in the box provided.​

4.He feels sorry for the Cyclops who lives all by himself.

Answers

Answer:

3. He knows that they cannot move the boulder blocking the doorway.

Explanation:

When the Cyclops attacks Odysseus and his men, Odysseus' first impulse is to attack and kill him to ensure the group's survival. However, they were inside the Cyclops' cave that closed the exit with a very heavy stone, impossible to be removed by humans. Only the Cyclops would be able to open that "door" and if Odysseus killed him, he and his crew would be trapped forever.

Demodocus is a poet who often visits the court of Alcinous, king of the Phaeacians on the island of Scherie. During Odysseus' stay on Scherie, Demodocus performs three narrative songs.

Explanation:

Demodocus, whose name means "beloved of the people," has several important functions in book 8, not the least of which is that Demodocus gives us a clear picture of the importance of the bard in Bronze Age oral culture. In addition, his songs about Odysseus—and, more important, Odysseus's reaction to those songs—prompt the key question from Odysseus's Phaeacian host, King Alcinous: "Who are you?"

Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero summons Caliban.
PROSPERO . . . Come on;
We'll visit Caliban my sIave, who never
YieIds us kind answer.

MIRANDA
'Tis a viIIain, sir,
I do not love to look on.

PROSPERO
But, as 'tis,
We cannot miss him: he does make our fire,
Fetch in our wood and serves in offices
That profit us. What, h0! sIave! CaIiban!
Thou earth, thou! speak.

CALIBAN
[Within] There's wood enough within.

PROSPERO
Come forth, I say! there's other business for thee:
Come, thou tortoise! when?
(. . .)
Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself
Upon thy wicked danm, come forth!
From the passage, identify words and phrases that refer to Caliban. Then, analyze how the choice of words shapes readers' first impression of Caliban and shows Prospero and Miranda's attitude toward him. Be sure to use details from the passage to support your analysis.

Answers

Answer:

Themes of Colonialism present in this passage:

Fatherhood

Caliban sees Prospero as a fatherly figure, if you come to think of it, Fathers colonize children in as much as they have power over them, over what they eat, what they learn, where they live and so forth.

"When thou cames first, thou strokeds me and madest much of me, wouldst give me water with berries in't, and teach me how to name the bigger light (....) and then I love thee"  In this phrase we can see that Caliban was first treated with love by Prospero because he fed him (with water with berries, like a special treat) and taught him how to name the sun (the bigger light).

Territory

When Caliban grows up, he realizes that Prospero was not like a father, he becomes aware of the fact that Prospero is the colonizer that took what belong to Caliban (His island).

"The island's mine, by Sycorax my mother, which thou takest from me"

What Caliban means here is that the Island has always been his by right, because it belong to his mother, and he accuses Prospero of taking it from him. This is what happens with Colonizers, they take a land (and the people that live in it)  although they have no right over it, but from their position of power they dominate the Colonized.

Slavery

Prospero is mad because he believes that Caliban is his slave and that he is not capable of doing good things, because he is less than a human being.  "Abhorred slave, Which any print of goodness wilt not take, Being capable of all ill"

Language

Prosperos is also angry because he claims that it was hard work for him to teach Caliban to speak "Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour one thing or other..."

This is interesting because colonized populations have a language of their own, so there is nothing generous about Colonizers teaching the colonized to speak. In fact, language is a tool that is used by Colonizers to control the Colonized.

Through language people can be controlled and their identity is also distorted when they use a language that is not their own. Caliban recognizes that Prospero knows how to name things (as we stated at the beginning) but notice how he calls Caliban in different parts of this extract you included: "Abhorred slave" , "Savage" , "a thing most brutish" "Thou vile race" In this way, we see that Caliban wants to get rid of the identity Prospero ascribed to him, but at the same time he can't fight against the power of the Colonizer (that is, Prospero)

Caliban's answer to this insults is: "You taught me language; and my profit on't is that I know how to curse. The red plague rid you for learning me language!"  This means (literally) for the only thing that your language is helpful to me is to insult you (the red plague rid you! is an insult) But from the point of view of literary criticism, we see that Caliban is using the language that was originally used to control him, to fight against the control of Prospero. So, the same weapon that the Colonizer used to exert power over the Colonized, the latter uses it to fight against his control.

Read the excerpt from The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.

In the US, he kept struggling, he couldn't find a job and he didn't speak the language: "But here in the United States, my community continues to struggle. We arrived in the U.S. when the economy was at its lowest point, so we struggle to find jobs. Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn (...)".
