he poem begins with the Wanderer asking the Lord for understanding and compassion during his exile at sea. He cannot avoid going to sea, however, because this life is his fate.

The Wanderer goes on to recall the hardships he has faced in his life, like watching his kinsmen be ruined and even slaughtered. He knows that while he is lonely and isolated, he will think about these things constantly. There is no living person with whom the Wanderer can share what is in his heart. He knows that it is dignified for a man to keep his feelings to himself. He then argues that no matter how hard a man tries to contain his emotions, he can never avoid his fate. An ambitious man can conceal his sorrowful heart, but he cannot escape it.

The Wanderer returns to his own example. His kind lord died of old age and as a result, the Wanderer has been exiled from his country. He left home with the coldness of winter in his heart and sailed the rough waves in search of a new lord. He was friendless, yearning for the comforts and pleasures of a new mead-hall, but found none.

The Wanderer relates his tale to his readers, claiming that those who have experienced exile will understand how cruel loneliness can feel. The Wanderer is freezing cold, remembering the grand halls where he rejoiced, the treasure he was given, and the graciousness of his lord. All of these joys have now disappeared. He claims that any man who stops receiving the wisdom of his lord will be filled with a similar sadness. Even when he sleeps, this lord-less man dreams of happier days when he could lay his hands and head upon his lord's knees. When he awakens, the lonely man will be forced to face his friendless reality, surrounded by the dark waves, frost, and snow. The rich happiness of a man's dreams make his solitude even more miserable. He will imagine the faces of his kinsmen and greet them joyfully with song, but alas, the memories are transient. A seaman's spirit goes through these bouts of agony every time he finds himself alone, which makes his overall sorrow more acute.

The Wanderer then goes on to contemplate how lords are frequently forced out of their halls and away from their kingdoms. He questions why he feels so unhappy when comparatively, the tribulations lords face are usually much more severe. He then realizes that the world is constantly fluctuating and a man's life experiences, good and bad, are ultimately what make him wise. The Wanderer lists the lessons that he has learned; that a wise man must not be hasty in speech, rash or fickle in battle, and he must not be nervous, greedy, or boastful. A wise man must not boast until he is free of doubt. A wise man must accept that riches fade, buildings fall, lords die, and their followers die or disperse. The Wanderer offers a few examples of the latter, citing men who died in battle, men who drowned, one man who who was carried off by a bird, and another who was killed by a wolf.

Answer:

hey darcf!

Explanation:

First of all you have to know the difference between travel or exile.

As for a trip, it is something we do for fun, vacations or work. But exile is something very different, since it is a situation in which someone has to shed everything they have, money, work, even the family, because of war situations, or because they are persecuting him, or by himself. starting a new life leaving its place of origin behind.

 

The Wanderer conveys the meditations of a solitary exile on his past happiness as a member of his lord's band of retainers, his present hardships and the values of forbearance and faith in the heavenly Lord.

The Seafarer claims that land-dwellers cannot comprehend the pain of spending winter in exile at sea, estranged from one's kinsmen and miserable in the cold. All alone, the Seafarer recounts that all he could hear was the roaring of the sea waves. Sometimes he would pretend that the calls of birds were actually the sounds of fellow sailors, drinking mead and singing songs. Alas, the Seafarer has no companion or earthly protector at sea.

The following edition und translation of the Old English Rhymed Poem, the first resolute metrical experiment in English literature, is prompted by the belief that a sufficiently conserva tive text has not yet been established, and by the fact that no English translation has appeared since Guest's unsatisfactory rendering in his History of English Rhythm in 1838.It is an elegy placed in the mouth of a man who from former happy prosperity has fallen into helpless misery. The change is due to old age, disease, and the fear of death

In The Rhyming Poem, the speaker, apparently a former king who has lost his power, yearns for his past glory as he laments his fallen condition and the changeableness of earthly fortune. The first part of the poem describes the speaker’s happy past, while the second half speaks of his gloomy present condition.

slava [35]

Answer:  *THE PRODIGAL SON*

Everybody was shocked!!! Nobody could apprehend what was happening...here in front of them was the man they had long gone buried a year ago.Mutume,the unexpectedly alive man had been gone for a year without any explaination leaving the villagers to believe that he had either run away or been kidnapped.It was like he had vanished into thin air and yet here he was claiming to be back.His mother Kamene could not hold back the streams of tears running down her cheeks,leaving us in awe of whether they were tears of shock or happiness.Many ran away to the safety of their humble abode while the fearless few ran to him to confirm everyone's suspicion...was he a ghost?

His face was filled with shock when he was told that he was ''buried'' years ago.He sat down on a three-legged stool to narrate his side of the story to satisfy the unsatisfied..

''It was a new dawn when I decided to go to the city to look for a job to fend for our family,I could not bear the sight of their protruding bones and frail bodies anymore.I quietly tiptoed outside without saying my goodbye fully knowing that that would be an obstacle to whatever plan I had.I ran to the bus stop to catch the first bus to Kisumu town where I had decided to work.I looked at the job application in my hand and barely smiled oblivious of whatever the city had in store for me.Had I knew that that would be my near demise,I wouldn't have boarded the bus.

When I arrived in Kisumu city,I boarded another bus with the little that I had left and looked forward to my supposedly 'new home'.I kept thinking of what I would do once I got the job I so looked forward to,rent an apartment somewhere and immediately inform you of my whereabouts.I was harshly jolted back to reality by the conductor,''Young man pay the fare!''

I calmly slipped my hand into my pockets to fish out the money I had but I was in for a rude shock when I realised that my pockets were empty!What the hell was going on??I frantically searched my bag and my confirmed my suspicions...my money had been stolen!!The shabbily dressed conductor kept hurling insults at me worsening the situation,by now everyone on the bus was staring at me.

I tried reasoning with him but it only made the situation worse...judging by how I was dressed,he quickly concluded that I was in for a free ride.My heart sinked when he said,''Driver,stop the car..young man get off and don't argue with me,we have seen worse people than you claiming to have lost money to get mercy from people like us!''

What did he mean by ''people like us''?This were the kind of questions that circulated my mind at that instance.For all I can remember,I was left in the middle of nowhere with no money,no phone,nothing..just nothing!What was I to do now?Instant regrets flooded my mind as tears of despondency trickled down my face.I kept walking on to the land of nowhere for hours until I blacked out.

I remember waking up in a white room and hearing someone shout,''Doctor he's finally awake..!''

A man in a white lab coat came running in with nurses and they all started running all kinds of tests on me.As I came to learn later,I had practically been in a coma for a year!!The paramedics said that my case was a rare and difficult one since I had not been responding to all kinds of treatments.I was grateful to be alive and after a few hours of testing..they finally told me that I had been brought to the hospital by a good samaritan and that he had been paying all my bills even though the doctors had told him that I was no-more case.

Since I wanted to personally thank him..I looked for him the first thing when I got discharged from the hospital.He was a bright middle-aged man who offered me a well-paying job and the one who reminded me to inform you of my whereabouts...He offered to bring me here but I kindly declined his offer since he had already done so much for me.That's why I am here after a year,it was not intentional for me to make you worry and I apologise for anything I might have cost you.I am very happy to be back home with you all.''

Everyone paused for a while as if to process the miraculous story of this wonder man from their village then they broke into clapping and ululating for this prodigal son.There was a celebration to welcome him back home where he belonged...

                    THE END.~

Lol I ended up writing more than what I expected...Good luck

Prompt: You have to nominate someone for an award. Who would you nominate for what award
Mnenie [13.5K]

I believe the answer to this is letter A. In the paragraph, we can consider the words <span>the Giving Spirit as the figure of speech. By definition, figure of speech refers to a phrase which has a meaning other than the literal meaning. In this case, the Giving Spirit award does not literally mean giving away her spirit rather it means to sacrifice for others.</span>
