BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

There are a lot of differences between Sir Gawain and Beowulf.
1. Sir Gawain is a mere knight, and Beowulf is a prince.
2. Sir Gawain is from a Medieval tale, while Beowulf is from an Anglo-Saxon tale. 
3. <span>Sir Gawain humbles himself down and says he's feeble minded and of the least strength between all the knights, and he strongly desires to take the Green knight's challenge to avoid risking Arthur's life and put his less valuable one at stake. Beowulf is often praised for trying to pursue his own personal goals, and his strength and greatness are admirable as well.

Can i please get help for both these questions 1. Compare and contrast the conflicts faced by Orwell in “Shooting an Elephant” t
Vesna [10]
I can only answer the 1st question.
Both men in these stories faced peer pressure. They were pressured to go against their own beliefs in order to satisfy society's demands.

<span>“No Witchcraft for Sale.” - In this story, Gideon did not bow down to peer pressure. He kept silent and gave the impression of succumbing to the pressure given to him but doing what he wanted to really do. He gave the wrong root to satisfy the demands of the public. He also signified his displeasure by being more formal to his employers and for keeping his silence.

"</span><span>“Shooting an Elephant” - In this story, the police man gave in to the pressure of shooting the elephant not because it is a legal thing to do but because of self-preservation. He doesn't want to appear as a fool to the public that detests him. He preferred to be hailed as the one who shot the elephant than be further jeered as the one who did not shoot the elephant. 

Both men did what they did to serve their own purpose. Gideon's way was sticking to his values while the police man sacrificed his own values to ensure an acceptable place in the community he lives in.  </span>

Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

C). “about two-thirds of agricultural land in Australia  is suffering from degradation, which includes loss  of nutrients" ( Paragraph 17)

Explanation:

The quotation that most aptly highlights the current health of the soil would be “about two-thirds of agricultural land in Australia  is suffering from degradation, which includes loss  of nutrients" from Paragraph 17 as it talks about the present condition of the soil('degradation causing lack of nutrients') in Australia. The first and second quotation talks about the way to create soil and the quality of the soil while the last option talks about the past event 'The American Dust Bowl.' Therefore, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
