Read this excerpt from We’ve Got a Job. No one would have blamed Mr. and Mrs. Hendricks if they had decided to keep quiet about

civil rights following the bombing of their friend's home. But Audrey's parents weren't intimidated. The very next day, her father and about fifteen other blacks sat down in the front section of a bus, where only whites were permitted. When the driver demanded they move to the back, Audrey's father politely refused, saying "We [are] comfortable where we are sitting." As a result, Mr. Hendricks was arrested and spent six nights in jail. When he was released, he volunteered to guard the Shuttlesworths’ home.
Why do Mr. Hendricks and others sit in a section of the bus where they are not permitted?

A) to figure out who is responsible for the previous night’s violence

B) to show they will keep fighting even though their friend’s home was destroyed

C) to rally other people in the area to join their fight against segregation laws

D) to experience the comfort and convenience of the front of the bus

Answer:

B) to show they will keep fighting even though their friend’s home was destroyed.

Explanation:

This is the main reason why Mr. Hendricks and others sit in a section of the bus where they are not permitted. During this time period, buses were segregated, and black people were only allowed to sit in the back section. However, in this story, we see how Mr. Hendricks and the other men disagree with the policy and decide to sit in the front section. This shows how the men will keep fighting for rights, regardless of what happened to their friend.

What description BEST fits Beowulf himself? A. arrogant, superhuman hero B. intellectual, modest warrior C. bold, strong nemesis
netineya [11]

1) Beowulf as a loyal, deserving assistant possesses great Germanic heroic attributes as pride, loyalty and courtesy. He explores his heroism through three difficult phases with Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the dragon. His reputation for bravery is enhanced when he defeats Grendel and Grendel’s bother with courage and establishes himself as a hero.

2) The recurring use of alliteration in Beowulf enhances the imagery and rhythm in the poem.

Alliteration is a literary device, repetition of the consonants in row, sound stressing syllable of a phrase. In Beowulf narrator engages the listener by the use of alliteration.

Example: “ Marshes, and made his home in hell,” in “The Wrath of Grendel”, describes and creates the image of Grendel’s home as frightening, horrible and a hellish place. Such description creates a sense of fear among listeners.

3) The magnitude of the Beowulf hero's battle with the dragon is increased because Beowulf is not as young as he once was. Beowulf’s transition between his two phases of life- youth and age, separated by fifty years, gradually is dictated by the Germanic heroic code.
