Hello!

Beowulf is one of the most famous poems in old English. It is about three thousand lines long and the story revolves around three battles.

In the poem, Beowulf, a warrior from Geats comes to the rescue of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes whose land is being attacked by a monster, Grendel. Beowulf succeeds and defeats Grendel. To show his prowess, he even kills Grendel with his bare hands. However, the tension of the story escalates, because Grendel's mother is now on the warpath to get revenge. As the story progresses, Beowulf kills Grendel's mother in her liar with a sword that giants of a past time once used.

After this victory, Beowulf returns home to Geats. Fifty years pass. However, there is one final battle. There is a dragon that plagues his people because of stolen treasure. More importantly, Beowulf now has to defend his people. He fails at first, but then with the help of Wiglaf, a servant, chases the dragon into its lair and kills it. However, in the process, Beowulf receives a fatal wound and dies. Finally, he is buried by the sea.

Hope this Helps! Have A Wonderful Day! :)

What is Douglass argument about escaped slaves recounting their methods of escape, and what reasons does he give to support his

yanalaym [24]

In the final chapter of his narrative, Douglass explains that he does not describe his escape with precision, because he does not want to give any advantage to slave owners. Giving them too many details of how did he escape would help slave owners to prevent the escape of their slaves to the North. Douglass hopes to generate in the slave owners a certain feeling of paranoia, and make it as difficult as possible for them to retain their slaves.

Need Help ASAP Will Mark Brainliest Have To Turn In Today). If someone has read "Harry Potter and the order of the phoenix book"

andrew11 [14]

okay i cant really answer number 2 because i dont know you but i can help with all of the other ones.

question 1: something i found interesting was the black family tree and how sirius really didnt get along with most of his family.

question 2: again sorry cant give you an exact answer because i dont know you but you could say that tonks reminds you of one of your family members with how goofy she is.

question 3: the climax occurs at the ministry with the fight against malfoy sr. and bellatrix and the other death eaters. some members of the DA (dumbledores army) go with harry to the ministry because he saw sirius (his godfather and only piece of family he has left) being tortured by voldemort.

question 4: absolutely. harry potter is amazing and Rowling does a really good job of telling the whole story.

next part question 1: i knew that umbridge was going to be a terrible person from the moment she was brought up.

next part question 2: umbridges description was enough to go on that it just gave you this feeling of just a terrible person and an even worse toad. (because she's described as alike to a toad)

i really hope this helped. :)
