About history that wasn’t written down and pass it down through poem. They sing to the men and women in the mead halls, passing down valuable information, as well as legends and providing entertainment. This probably occurs during the night hours, and possibly during some of the day hours. The main purpose of the performances is to entertain the guests at the king’s mead hall, but also to inform the guests of interesting stories. Beowulf, being there, too, was incorporated into the stories and legends. This provided more entertainment for the guests because they could physically see the man about whom he was speaking.

chubhunter [2.5K]

This question asks for an essay, which is a personal task that only you can complete. However, we are still able to provide some guidance that can help you complete your work.

In her "Letter to Napoleon III," Elizabeth Barrett Browning employs several rhetorical strategies to urge Napoleon III to forgive the author Victor Hugo and free him from his imprisonment.

Browning uses ethos when she presents herself as a fair person. Ethos refers to an appeal to credibility, and Browning employs it when she agrees with Napoleon about the wrong nature of Victor Hugo's actions. She also employs a paradox to force Napoleon to pay close attention to her argument. The paradox is that, even though Victor Hugo acted against the emperor, he deserves to be free. Browning employs anaphora when she repeats the phrase "what touches you" in order to convince Napoleon of the importance of his reputation. Finally, she uses pathos (an appeal to emotion) when she highlights how grateful and admiring Napoleon's subjects will be if he pardons Victor Hugo.

tigry1 [53]

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. Since the passage is the same, I will omit it:

How does Chaucer characterize the young man speaking in this passage?

A. as uncomfortable

B. as loyal

C. as deceitful

D. as innocent

Answer:

Chaucer characterizes the young man:

C. as deceitful

Explanation:

When we call someone deceitful, we mean that person is false, untruthful, untrustworthy. Notice that Chaucer shows the young man is deceitful through the character's own words. He knows he is supposed to split the gold between the three of them. However, once the youngest is gone to town, he proposes to the other man that they split it only between the two of them. He clearly cannot be trusted. Therefore, letter C is the best option for this question.
