Answer:

2) To present an interpretation.

The author of the passage is providing an interpretation of the book in this sentence. He is arguing that the novel is affirmative and hopeful, and that it stresses the power of humans to reach for greatness and inspire others. This is never explicitly stated in the novel. Therefore, the argument is based on his subjective views and analysis.

4) He also suffers a painful loss.

This revision is the best one for sentence 4. It gives the reader the same idea as the other options. However, it is written more clearly and in an active voice.

Identify the element of magic realism.<br><br><br><br>​
sdas [7]

Answer:

Magical realism portrays fantastical events in an otherwise realistic tone. It brings fables, folk tales, and myths into contemporary social relevance.

What characteristics from Emersons heroism are most necessary for defeating a monster like Grendel
Snezhnost [94]
<span>a few of the characteristics from emerson's heroism that were necessary for defeating the monster Grendel were bravery, courage, and fearlessness. without Beowulf being courageous he would have never wanted to fight Grendel in the first place. Beowulf says "i shall manage the matter" meaning he will slay the monster no matter what it takes of him, which also shows his bravery. Beowulf talks as if he's talking to the monster and tells the monster basically to decide its own fate. This shows he's not afraid of Grendel.</span>

I made my friend mad at me what do I doooooo
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

depends, what did u do for them to get mad at you?

Explanation:

ok i have a similar situation. my friend told me she took stuff and i was upset, but i speak for anyone who has a friend and loves and cares about them when i say this: they won't stay mad at you. they are mad that there is a chance they can lose you and they hate that, believe me ik lol. I was mad at my friend and just yesterday she told me that, I havent gotten to speak to her since and all I want to do is ask her how she is doing right now if im being honest.

so, what I am trying to say is that they just need to calm down and think. if within a few hours at least, or tomorrow, they haven't reached out, then don't push for them. Listen to me when I say this too, you do NOT have to apologize. you never EVER have to apologize for how you feel and no one is allowed to get mad at you for it either. if they get mad at you for how you are feeling, they are a piece of sh1t. just remember that babes. your feelings are valid and I accept and love you

for now, just give a little bit of space and see how that goes. keep me updated and don't give up, you got this <333

(this goes for everyone) dont give up.  you matter. youre loved. i believe in you and so do so many other people. keep your head up babes.
