1. Read the paragraph.
The kids had been out on the pond all morning. There were not enough hockey sticks to go around, so a game of broom hockey had evolved. Discarded ski caps served as goal markers, and the kids skated back and forth on the backyard “rink.” The impromptu game stretched to fill the entire morning of the canceled school day. Marco was the last to leave the ice, gathering neglected gear and a forgotten puck. As he glided toward the bank, he heard a creak and a pop. A crack began to snake its way across the surface, and when Marco was inches from the edge, one skate went through the ice. Luckily, the other skate glided to a stop in the bank’s frozen mud, giving Marco just enough leverage to pull his frosty skate out of the melting mess.
The conflict in the paragraph is character versus

to Zeus beyond the stormcloud, Cronus’ son,
who rules the world. But Zeus disdained my offering;
destruction for my ships he had in store
and death for those who sailed them, my companions.

As long as bread and good red wine remained
to keep the men up, and appease their craving,
they would not touch the cattle. But in the end,

so hunger drove them to scour the wild shore
with angling hooks, for fishes and seafowl,
whatever fell into their hands; and lean days
wore their bellies thin.

Which lines from the text best support this theme?

brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore,

“I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.”
He drew to his fist the cruel head of an arrow for Antinous just as the young man leaned to lift his beautiful drinking cup, embossed, two-handled, golden: the cup was in his fingers:
the wine was even at his lips: and did he dream of death?
“Spare your
own people. As for ourselves, we'll make
restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart.”
