<span>While I was changing my shirt, I d**n near gave my kid sister Phoebe a buzz, though. I certainly felt like talking to her on the phone. Somebody with sense and all. But I couldn't take a chance on giving her a buzz, because she was only a little kid and she wouldn't have been up, let alone anywhere near the phone. I thought of maybe hanging up if my parents answered, but that wouldn't've worked, either. They'd know it was me. My mother always knows it's me. She's psychic. But I certainly wouldn't have minded shooting the cr*p with old Phoebe for a while.</span>
Answer:
Grendel's mom fights more; pins him and has dagger.
Beowulf fought in both battles.
Explanation:
The difference between the battle between 'Beowulf and Grendel's mother' and 'Grendel and Beowulf' is that 'Grendel's mom is more attacking, she carries a dagger and even pins him.' In return, Beowulf counters her with the sword and breaks her collarbones. The importance of the similarity between the two distinct battles is that 'Beowulf took part in both of them.' Apart from the battle with Grendel's mother, he had an intense battle with Grendel too where the latter attempts to swallow him. However, Beowulf was successful in trashing him down.
I think the answer might be A
In the poem, the following figurative languages are used:
Blue as blood - simile
Protection like acid - simile
I wear him like a cloak - simile
The first one talks about the tattoo on the father's wrist. This idealizes that the tattoos are part of the father's body and distracting like a vein (veins appear bluish from the outside)
The second one is an abutment; protection is compared to acid, which is a substance that destroys, not protects. This implies that the efforts of the father in protecting the child feel like it is eating away (like acid).
The third one describes feelings of the speaker under the father's protection; The speaker sweats under the weight of being wrapped around instead of getting comfortable and relieved.
Hope this answer helps.
Hello!
Your essay looks very well written, however there are some indents and spaces where there doesn’t have to be, but I don’t know if that was your choice. You also have a couple letters capitalized when the shouldn’t be, so just check over your essay again.
