Read the excerpt from the odyssey. 'we are from troy, achaeans, blown off course by shifting gales on the great south sea; homeward bound, but taking routes and ways uncommon; so the will of zeus would have it. we served under agamemnon, son of atreus— the whole world knows what city he laid waste, what armies he destroyed. it was our luck to come here; here we stand, beholden for your , or any gifts you give—as custom is to honor strangers. we would entreat you, great sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy; zeus will avenge the unoffending guest.' he answered this from his brute chest, unmoved: 'you are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! we cyclopes care not a whistle for your thundering zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far. i would not let you go for fear of zeus— you or your friends—unless i had a whim to. what can be inferred about the cyclops? he lives in fear of zeus and all the rest of the greek gods. he sided and fought with the trojans during the war. he is eager to provide food and shelter to his guests. he does not live by the same rules and customs as the greeks. mark this and return

Hurry i am on the semester test which theme is evident in this excerpt from robert frost's "mending wall"? but at spring mending-time we find them there. i let my neighbor know beyond the hill; and on a day we meet to walk the line and set the wall between us once again. we keep the wall between us as we go. to each the boulders that have fallen to each. and some are loaves and some so nearly balls we have to use a spell to make them balance: "stay where you are until our backs are turned! " we wear our fingers rough with handling them. oh, just another kind of out-door game, one on a side. it comes to little more: there where it is we do not need the wall: he is all pine and i am apple orchard. my apple trees will never get across and eat the cones under his pines, i tell him. he only says, “good fences make good neighbors." spring is the mischief in me, and i wonder if i could put a notion in his head: "why do they make good neighbors? isn't it where there are cows? but here there are no cows. before i built a wall i'd ask to know what i was walling in or walling out, and to whom i was like to give offence. . " a. the human desire for material gain b. the influence of financial constraints c. the positive effects of friendship d. the uncertain nature of human relations e. the futility of human yearning
