Answer:

Grendel is depicted as "bent on destruction and bulging with rage" which already begins to depict Grendel as a monster. The preconceived notion that only villains and monsters destroy objects leads any reader to automatically assume Grendel is a monster, no matter if they have read the entirety of the story or not. Beowulf, however, is praised throughout the battle scene. The author notes Beowulf's wisdom and bravery constantly. These are traits that are always associated with the hero of the story. An author will hardly ever showcase a hero's flaws in a negative light, and Beowulf is no exception. He is put against a character with "claws of the heathen suited for slashing in horrible slaughter". With these stakes put against him, there's no way he cannot be seen as a hero going against such a creature.

Explanation: Please put this into your own words it's the least you can do.

The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />

In 150 words, describe what Arthur would say to the captain in response to his questions in Twelve Years a Slave.
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Sure.

The ship stops on the way to New Orleans, picking up four more slaves. Among them is a slave named Arthur. Like Solomon and Robert, Arthur is a free man with a family and was kidnapped and sold into slavery. When the ship departs again for New Orleans, the captain appoints Robert as his waiter and Solomon as the overseer of the cooking department. Solomon is also made to distribute food and water twice a day. At night, the slaves are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down.”

Arthur’s story of being kidnapped echoes that of Robert and Solomon, pushing the reader to recognize the widespread distortion of justice that permeates the nation. The slaves are once again compared to livestock, as they are “driven into the hold and securely fastened down” like horses or cattle being kept in the barn for the night.

A violent storm descends upon the ship, and many of the slaves wish that the “compassionate sea” would drown them, saving them from “the clutches of remorseless men.”  Solomon tells his reader not to judge him for any of his actions that follow in the narrative, writing: “Let not those who have never been placed in like circumstances, judge me harshly.”

Which statement best contrasts these two excerpts? The sound of the beating heart emphasizes the madness of the narrator in “The
Bond [772]
I believe that your answer is the first option due to how late the crying is, and unlike in "The Tell-Tale Heart" where the heart is constant and represents the slow descent of madness, the cry of the cat only appears at the end.

The portion of the story where it shows the speaker's madness is actually his looking for and finding similarities in the second cat and wishing to kill it.

Hope this was helpful.
