Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. Six benches were left empty in every ship that evening when we pulled away from death. And this new grief we bore with us to sea: our precious lives we had, but not our friends. No ship made sail next day until some shipmate had raised a cry, three times, for each poor ghost unfleshed by the Cicones on that field. Which key details should be included in a paraphrase of this passage

The men were greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.

Many of Odysseus's men did not escape with their lives.

Explanation:

Paraphrasing is the act of rewriting or re-expressing the meaning of a given passage but with the use of different words other than those used by the writer in the original text. This technique allows the readers to understand the passage or text more, and with the use of new and added words, the paraphrase will summarize the whole passage for a better understanding.

The given passage from Homer's "The Odyssey" talks of how the men in their ships go on with their sailing. The main points of the passage are how the deaths are dealt with, and how many men were killed by the Cicones. So, in the paraphrase, the key details should be that many of Odysseus' men were killed. This led to the remaining men to be greatly saddened by the loss of their friends.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
