Gary Huang CFI Professor Masri 9/26/12 The Odyssey Paragraph Responses Paragraph 1 This passage can be found in the beginning of The Odyssey in Book One‚ Lines 1-12. It’s significant not only because it’s how the epic begins‚ but also because it gives quick insight to Odysseus’ character and what happens on his way home. Odysseus is revealed to be a man “of twists and turns”(1) which gives the double meaning in the literal sense of his journey home and his cunning nature. In this case

The Intuitionist Responses: 1. Whitehead definitely makes a relationship between knowledge and race throughout the novel. It seems that he makes the white people think they are smarter than the blacks‚ yet he gives the blacks more knowledge and instinct. One of the first examples I noticed was when Lila Mae inspects Walker 125 and the super (a white man) slips three twenty dollar bills in her pocket. She says to him “You placed sixty dollars in my pocket. I don’t think I implied by my behavior that
