Homer's epic Greek poem The Odyssey is about a great warrior , Odysseus ( Ulysses , In Latin ) , who tries to return home after the Trojan War . The gods make his journey long and difficult , causing him to travel widely , having many adventures . Meanwhile , his wife Penelope must deal with suitors who , thinking her husband is dead , have invaded her home . In James Joyce's novel Ulysses , two characters , Stephen and Bloom , go about their daily business in the city of Dublin . Stephen's home is occupied by roommates who appear to be taking over his apartment . Bloom's home is periodically invaded by a man who pursues his wife , Molly Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of the original myth ? A. Unlike Homer's Odysseus , Joyce shows that one can never truly return home from a war , either because one has personally changed or one's home has changed .

O B. Joyce emphasizes the suffering of his Penelope - inspired character to make his story more tragic than the original myth .

C. Joyce expresses his opinion that the journey of Odysseus is minor compared to the ordinary pursuits of a modern person .

D. Joyce makes the idea of an invaded home more personal for readers by writing about two ordinary people in a modern city rather than about a mythical Greek warrior .

as we know, the english language is spoken all over the world by native and non-native speakers and has become the most certain tool when it comes to communicating. businesses, schools, even romantic relationships depend on it to keep thriving. in addition, it is the language of the internet not only because most of the content available is in english, but also because people prefer to use it when talking to others, since it's the language everyone supposedly learns.

yet, there have been some current claims that chinese will soon take over as the most important language in the world. china's magnitude has never been more evident and doing business with the chinese is a gold mine for any country. we now see language schools offering chinese courses as commonly as english.

however - even though we cannot deny china's importance and the advantage it is when someone takes the time to learn the language their business contact speaks-, people in general seem to be ignoring the aspects that seem to keep english as the chosen one of languages. one of them has been mentioned above: it is the language of the internet. also, chinese people are still learning english, since it opens doors in communicating with practically everyone else, from every single country.

note: if this is not the sort of transition you need, let me know. : d

easy - boys have problems.

i hope this ! (:
