what cultural values are shown in the speech odysseus gave after he had blinded and then escape the cyclops?
Answer:
The belief that Zeus and the other gods are supreme over all things and that helping strangers, extending hospitality to the guests was a popular belief in Greek custom which Odysseus is referring to in his speech.
Explanation:

why do you think the radley place is so important? (to kill a mockingbird)
Answer: The Radley Place represents the privacy, isolation and unfriendliness of the Radley family. With its austere front and closed shutters and doors – which in Maycomb 'meant illness and cold weather' – we learn that the 'misery of that house' (Chapter 1, p. 15) began many years before the novel even begins.
Explanation:
Q: One other thing -- last week, the administration and you took great pains to talk about this particular figure related to immigration executive actions taken under George Herbert Walker Bush. Glenn Kessler has done a tremendous amount of fact-checking for The Washington Post. Understanding that it’s precedent that George H.W. Bush did take some actions, they were not nearly as significant, statistically, as represented by this administration in some of the news articles at the time. Will you either retract that or stop using that in the future as part of the defense of the President’s actions? MR. EARNEST: I will not, Major. The fact of the matter is, the Bush administration did take an executive action that did have an impact on 1.5 million people who were living in this country, and that is about 40 percent of the population -- of the undocumented population at the time. This is something that, as you point out, has been reported by The Associated Press, New York Times, and even the Congressional Research Service. There actually is -- we did a little digging on this because I anticipated that somebody might ask, so -- Q: It’s a fair question. MR. EARNEST: It is a fair question. February 21st, 1990 -- we had to go far back into the archives -- Mr. Gene McNary, who, at the time, was serving as the INS commissioner, testified before Congress, and he said -- he was asked a specific question by Senator Morrison, I assume, who said, “Under your recent administrative order, these 1.5 million people essentially are here to stay, with work and travel privileges, isn’t that right?” And Mr. McNary said, under oath, “We think you are right as to the 1.5 million being here. There is an estimate of another 1.5 million that could come as a result of this change in definition.” So then Senator Morrison follows up and says, “There is another 1.5 million who you think would become eligible?” Mr. McNary’s answer to that question was, “Yes.” So according to reports from The New York Times, The Associated Press, The Congressional Research Service, and according to the under-oath testimony of the Secretary -- or of the commissioner of the INS, about 1.5 million people were affected by President Bush’s order. Q: Those were estimates at the time. As Glenn pointed out in his piece, subsequent numbers obtained from those who actually applied are far, far lower. So those were estimates of what might happen. There are numbers about what actually did happen that are far smaller than that. Do you find that any reason to revise your -- MR. EARNEST: I do not, because, again, what we’re talking about is the number of people who are eligible. There continues to be this open question about the take-up rate, about how many people will actually come forward and apply for this deferred action protection. But the fact is, there are 1.5 million people, about 40 percent of the undocumented population, that would have been eligible for the executive action that President George H.W. Bush announced, and about 40 percent of the undocumented population will be eligible for the executive action that President Obama announced.

which statement best describes how the pipe player in passage one influenced Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon?
I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST
Answer:
The statement that best describes how the pipe player influenced Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon is:
"Take we the course which the signs of the gods and the false dealing of our foes point out. The die is cast.”
Explanation:
Crossing the Rubicon was historically symbolic. While it violated an ancient Roman tradition and decree that forbade any provincial governor from crossing the small river which separated Italy from France (or more specifically the province of the Gaul), it afforded Caesar the chance he had strategized and waited for to become a Roman maximum ruler and conqueror. So, Julius Caesar seizing the moment provided by the example of the god-like human who suddenly appeared before him playing a flute, crossed the Rubicon on January 10-11, 49 B.C. This marked a point of no-return to normalcy. So, following the footsteps of the god, i.e. the figure who crossed the stream with his war-like songs, Caesar decided ultimately to violate the orders of the Roman Senate because he strongly believed that the gods had given him the go-ahead to cross the Rubicon and make war on Rome. The rest, as they say, is history. And the die is always cast when someone decides to cross the Rubicon.
Answer:
The pipe player had a striking appearance that Caesar admired
Explanation: I had the same question.
What did de vaca and de Cardenas write
Answer:
They wrote exploration narratives.
Explanation:
Cabeza de vaca and Lopez de Cardenas were Spanish explorers who wrote first hand exploration narrative of their expedition in America.
Exploration narratives are those narratives or account that records a travellers firsthand experience of his travellings.
Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca wrote about his exploration in America entitled 'A Journey through Texas.' The narrative of de vaca records his experience as captive on an island in the Gulf of Mexico.
Garcia Lopez de Cadenas wrote about his exploration under the title 'Boulders taller than the Great Tower of Seville.' de Cardenas's exploration narrative records his search for the Seven Cities of Cibola that were believed to be made of gold. de Cadenas was the first white man to view the Colorado river from the Grand Canyon's edge.
So, they both wrote exploration narratives.
And I started to play. It was so beautiful. I was so caught up in how lovely I looked that at first I didn’t worry how I would sound. So it was a surprise to me when I hit the first wrong note and I realized something didn’t sound quite right. And then I hit another and another followed that. A chill started at the top of my head and began to trickle down. Yet I couldn’t stop playing, as though my hands were bewitched. I kept thinking my fingers would adjust themselves back, like a train switching to the right track. I played this strange jumble through two repeats, the sour notes staying with me all the way to the end. What effect do these descriptions have over the course of the paragraph?
Answer: C. It describes the narrator’s thoughts and feelings as she struggles through a poor performance.
Explanation:
Read an excerpt from "Television and the Public Interest" and answer the question. The speech was delivered by Newton N. Minow, chairman of the Federal Communications Commission, to the nation’s television executives in 1961.
[1] … But when television is bad, nothing is worse. I invite each of you to sit down in front of your television set when your station goes on the air and stay there, for a day, without a book, without a magazine, without a newspaper, without a profit and loss sheet or a rating book to distract you. Keep your eyes glued to that set until the station signs off. I can assure you that what you will observe is a vast wasteland.
[2] You will see a procession of game shows, formula comedies about totally unbelievable families, blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder, western bad men, western good men, private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons. And endlessly, commercials—many screaming, cajoling, and offending. And most of all, boredom. True, you'll see a few things you will enjoy. But they will be very, very few. And if you think I exaggerate, I only ask you to try it.
[3] Is there one person in this room who claims that broadcasting can't do better? Well a glance at next season's proposed programming can give us little heart. Of 73 and 1/2 hours of prime evening time, the networks have tentatively scheduled 59 hours of categories of action-adventure, situation comedy, variety, quiz, and movies. Is there one network president in this room who claims he can't do better?
[4] The best estimates indicate that during the hours of 5 to 6 P.M. sixty percent of your audience is composed of children under twelve. And most young children today, believe it or not, spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom. It used to be said that there were three great influences on a child: home, school, and church. Today, there is a fourth great influence, and you ladies and gentlemen in this room control it.
[5] If parents, teachers, and ministers conducted their responsibilities by following the ratings, children would have a steady diet of ice cream, school holidays, and no Sunday school. What about your responsibilities? Is there no room on television to teach, to inform, to uplift, to stretch, to enlarge the capacities of our children? Is there no room for programs deepening their understanding of children in other lands? There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence. Must these be your trademarks? Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …
[6] You must provide a wider range of choices, more diversity, more alternatives. It is not enough to cater to the nation's whims; you must also serve the nation's needs. And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience. Because … the people are wise, wiser than some of the broadcasters—and politicians—think.
Which two sentences provide evidence that what is on television is a "vast wasteland"?
"You will see a procession of game shows … blood and thunder, mayhem, violence, sadism, murder … private eyes, gangsters, more violence, and cartoons." (paragraph 2)
"I repeat—let that sink in, ladies and gentlemen—most young children today spend as much time watching television as they do in the schoolroom." (paragraph 4)
"There are some fine children's shows, but they are drowned out in the massive doses of cartoons, violence, and more violence." (paragraph 5)
"Search your consciences and see if you cannot offer more to your young beneficiaries whose future you guide so many hours each and every day …" (paragraph 5)
"And I would add this: that if some of you persist in a relentless search for the highest rating and the lowest common denominator, you may very well lose your audience."
