Answer:

out of pride.

Explanation:

In Lines 1492-1650, Beowulf fights with Grendel's mother, ultimately severing her head from the body. After beheading her, light shines in the cave uncovering the corpse of Grendel. Furious, Beowulf cuts off the head of Grendel.

On seeing the blood well springing out Danes thinks that Beowulf had lost and went back to Heorot. But the geats, kinsmen of Beowulf waits for him.

When Beowulf returns to the land, his kinsmen seeing him alive and with the head of Grendel rejoiced. The Geats went back to the hall of Heorot with the head of Grendel. The head of Grendel was so heavy that it took four men to carry his head. <u>Geats carried the heavy head of Grendel back to Heorot hall out pride, as a trophy. </u>

Jlenok [28]

Relating these to Australian slang words, if "banger" relates to a sausage, then "cocky" would be short for a cockatoo. A cockatoo is a bird that is a native to Australia. Though "cocky" may also mean someone who is overconfident in a bossy way, seeing as how banger is used as a slang word, cocky as a cockatoo is more fitting.

Nitella [24]

Answer and Explanation:

"Invictus" is a poem that portrays Ernest Henley's emotional control and resistance.

Henley wrote it when he was suffering from bone tuberculosis, a very serious and painful illness that could cause him to die in the blink of an eye, or torture him over time. When reading the poem, we can see how Henley was suffering, but he is very courageous and ready to face the disease with the greatest dignity possible, as he believed that the disease was not greater than him. We can see this through the line "My head is bloody, but unbowed."
