Which two parts of this excerpt from homer’s odyssey depict ulysses revealing his true identity to his faithful servants eumaeus and philaetius?
he saw their secret souls, and thus began:
"those vows the gods accord; behold the man!
your own ulysses! twice ten years detain'd
by woes and wanderings from this hapless land:
at length he comes; but comes despised, unknown,
and finding faithful you, and you alone.
all else have cast him from their very thought,
e'en in their wishes and their prayers forgot!
hear then, my friends: if jove this arm succeed,
and give yon impious revellers to bleed,
my care shall be to bless your future lives
with large possessions and with faithful wives;
fast by my palace shall your domes ascend,
and each on young telemachus attend,
and each be call'd his brother and my friend.
to give you firmer faith, now trust your eye;
lo! the broad scar indented on my thigh,
when with autolycus' sons, of yore,
on parnass' top i chased the tusky boar."
his ragged vest then drawn aside disclosed
the sign conspicuous, and the scar exposed:
eager they view'd, with joy they stood amazed
with tearful eyes o'er all their master gazed:
around his neck their longing arms they cast,
his head, his shoulders, and his knees embraced;
tears followed tears; no word was in their power;
in solemn silence fell the kindly shower.
the king too weeps, the king too grasps their hands;
and moveless, as a marble fountain, stands.

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.
