<span>Beowulf dies during battle with a dragon. In the second part of the poem, Beowulf has ruled over the Geats for fifty years, and he is a good leader. When the dragon attacks, it is worthy of note that he does not do so unprovoked. The dragon has been tasked with guarding a treasure hoard, and although the original owner of the treasure has long since died, the dragon continues to stand guard. When a cup is stolen from the treasure by a man who wants to win favor with his master, the dragon seeks revenge on Beowulf's people. Beowulf takes a large retinue of warriors to fight the dragon, but at the sight of the creature, all of Beowulf's vassals flee with the exception of Wiglaf, the youngest. Beowulf and Wiglaf fight the dragon together, and although they kill the dragon, Beowulf is fatally wounded. As he lays dying, Beowulf gives Wiglaf instructions for his burial and the disposal of the treasure.Wiglaf's remaining by Beowulf's side reinforces the theme of loyalty in the poem. Beowulf is ultimately faithful to his lord, Hygelac, even while he is fighting in the service of Hrothgar, a rival lord. This loyalty is repaid when Wiglaf remains by his side, even while his other vassals flee.</span>

Explanation:

Beowulf is the oldest English text which still exists.

These are some points which show how Beowulf die:

  • Beowulf was the king of Geats.
  • He is killed as he and wiglaf fight the dragon.
  • The dragon kills him because Beowulf goes out without any arm to fight with the monster.
  • Beowulf died because of the poisonous wound caused by the dragon.
  • Beowulf's last wish was to wiglaf to go to barrow and bring back some treasure and let him look before he dies.

Tresset [83]
Right now I am stuck with not being able to make significant money because I haven't heard from my client for about 2  1/2 weeks ie no communication so consequently have not been paid and have no new work. A new way to think about it is, "no hay mal que bien no venga" which means there is not a bad thing that something good does not come of it. In my case, it has given me the time to work on my historical book which is at the publisher's and which needs my attention.I can seek help by talking to the internet agency that my client uses and have them try to call him. If he no longer has work, then I can bid on new contracts that come up as ones are always coming up.

3.What details, or wording, in the final paragraph foreshadow the fact that Ishmael's quest will be for the white whale
mash [69]
Once again, Melville devotes a chapter to the minutiae of the whaling industry, but in this case he extends his description of the whale line to its more metaphorical implications. Ishmael compares the whale line to a noose, and in turn compares this noose to the mortality of all humans. Once again, this metaphor takes on sinister implications, a reminder of impending death and destruction that may come at any moment.
