Read the following excerpt fromBeowulf. That murderous spirit was named Grendel, huge moor-stalker who held the wasteland, fens,

and marshes; unblessed, unhappy, he dwelt for a time in the lair of the monsters after the Creator had outlawed, condemned them as kinsmen of Cain—for that murder God the Eternal took vengeance, when Cain killed Abel. No joy that kin-slaughter: the Lord drove him out, far from mankind, for that unclean killing. Select two words from this excerpt that have strong connotations. Explain the connotative meanings of each of these words. Then analyze how the words contribute to the reader's understanding of Grendel's character. Be sure to use specific details from the excerpt to support your ideas

<span>Unclean killing has a strong connotation. Unclean meaning impure, vile, corrupt, or tainted. Killing meaning slaughter, execution, or carnage. The words help the reader to understand that he is a monster. These two words are synonymous with the descriptions of the character. Other words in this excerpt that give the same connotation are murder, vengeance, killed, Kin-slaughter. The reader sees this repetition of maleficent words and can piece together by just a few sentences that the character of Grendel is a dark, evil soul.</span>

Explain to me your opinion on the use of "to" and "too"
spayn [35]

Answer: How to Use To

To is a preposition and a versatile little word that can be used to say many things. You can use it to indicate a goal or a direction of movement, as well as a place of arrival. That’s the way you use it when you say you’re going to class tomorrow. To also plays a role when we want to indicate that a verb is an infinitive.

There are other things for which we use the word to, but by now you should know enough of them to make sure you notice the difference between it and too.

How to Use Too

Too is also a useful little word, but it’s not a preposition like to, and it doesn’t have as many meanings. You can use it instead of “besides,” “in addition,” “also,” or “as well.” But you can use it for other things, too, like when you want to indicate excessiveness. If you find grammar tough, you can say that it’s too hard. In casual speech, speakers sometimes use too in the sense of “very”: That gal is too funny!
