Answer:

kenning

Explanation:

Kenning is a literary device widely used in medieval literature in Nordic countries. This device is used to replace words of direct and denotative meaning for words of figurative meaning.

We can perceive kenning in Beowulf's speech when he says "The shelterer of warriors and your people’s loved friend" instead of using the word king, thus translating a more poetic and connotative language.

How does the text structure help the author convey his central idea that a prince is judged by the quality of his servants?
bearhunter [10]

Answer: The text structure help the author convey his central idea that a prince is judged by the quality of his servantsby giving supporting proof of a ruler accepted to be astute on the grounds that he picked a decent worker. This is the right choice.

The creator tells that one can pass judgment on a ruler's intellingence through the workers he picks. Assuming a ruler can pick a proficient and dependable worker, the sovereign's significant degree of knowledge will be percieved.

Here's one example of a 'free verse stanza of poetry.

"Who am I?" -

Who am I, you ask?

I am a lion who comes off as a lamb.

I am an ocean with waves big enough to drown.

I am a roller coaster of emotions.

I am a hater of ignorant people, liars,  

And people who use others for a gain.

I am a lost soul, a naive child.

I am one who has seen enough  

That would make most people's skin crawl.

I am me, not you.  

I am who I am.

Judging me is only a negative reflection on you.

So who am I, you ask?

I am me...just me.

One identification of how my poem can be considered a free verse because many people go threw many questions and common life problems. People may forget what they are and what their life meaning is. So this can be a 'free verse'.
