Select the correct text in the passage. A subject is the topic of a literary work, while a theme is the author’s statement or pe

rspective about the topic. Which of these lines from Stephen Crane’s “The Open Boat” best reflects the subject of the excerpt? In disjointed sentences the cook and the correspondent argued as to the difference between a life-saving station and a house of refuge. The cook had said: "There's a house of refuge just north of the Mosquito Inlet Light, and as soon as they see us, they'll come off in their boat and pick us up." "As soon as who see us?" said the correspondent. "The crew," said the cook. "Houses of refuge don't have crews," said the correspondent. "As I understand them, they are only places where clothes and grub are stored for the benefit of shipwrecked people. They don't carry crews." "Oh, yes, they do," said the cook. "No, they don't," said the correspondent. "Well, we're not there yet, anyhow," said the oiler, in the stern. "Well," said the cook, "perhaps it's not a house of refuge that I'm thinking of as being near Mosquito Inlet Light. Perhaps it's a life-saving station." "We're not there yet," said the oiler, in the stern. As the boat bounced from the top of each wave, the wind tore through the hair of the hatless men, and as the craft plopped her stern down again the spray slashed past them. The crest of each of these waves was a hill, from the top of which the men surveyed, for a moment, a broad tumultuous expanse; shining and wind-riven. It was probably splendid. It was probably glorious, this play of the free sea, wild with lights of emerald and white and amber.

Whats the difference about this battle and the one fought between Beowulf and Grendel?
earnstyle [38]

Solution:

Grendel is a monster that seems to embody evil. He is given no definite shape and very little personality. He seeks to destroy. He kills without mercy. He cannot be reasoned with. In a scene in which he kills thirty sleeping men, Grendel is described as 'insensible to pain and human sorrow.' He is a 'God-cursed brute'. Why would Grendel do all of this? There are a few possible reasons. Hrothgar, the king of Heorot Hall, which is the place Grendel keeps attacking, believes that Grendel is just evil by nature. Grendel is called a 'fiend out of hell' and a 'banished monster.' This is how most of the characters in the story understand Grendel. Monsters are destructive - it's just what they do. But there is a more sympathetic way to understand him.

Grendel has lived in the same place for a very, very long time. Hrothgar is new to the neighborhood. When Hrothgar built his mead hall, which is like a castle, he brought a lot of very noisy people to the area. They used the natural resources and disturbed Grendel, and so Grendel got mad (lines 86-90). Not only were the neighbors too noisy, but they sang songs that reminded Grendel about his status as an outcast. He is a 'banished monster' who is 'cursed,' which means that God has rejected him. And all day and night, Hrothgar's people sing about God (lines 90 - 114). One way to understand Grendel is as an outcast who feels harassed by Hrothgar and his people. No matter how Grendel's motives are explained, he poses a threat to Hrothgar and everyone else at Heorot Hall.

Beowulf is the hero of the story who comes to Heorot Hall to save Hrothgar and his people from the monster, Grendel, who has killed many men.

5. Where would you like to stay - in a town or in the country? Why?​
ankoles [38]

Answer:

In a town

Explanation:

Because there are places of worship and of course, towns have schools too. There are fewer people and therefore more miniature houses which is safer.
