What statements best describe how "Mutability” reflects the idea in this excerpt?

1 answer:

3 0

So based on "A Defence of Poetry" by Shelly, in which Shelly suggests that emotions experienced in life are constantly changing, the lines from "Mutability" that can also be seen as a reflection of this idea would be these:"like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings / Give various response to each varying blast, / To whose frail frame no second motion brings / One mood or modulation like the last.”

In which organizational pattern do you compare and contrast subjects as a whole?

Murrr4er [49]

There are two ways to organize a comparison/contrast essay:

A) Block Approach. This organizational pattern is most effective when used on short essays, such as in-class essays. The body of such an essay is organized by discussing one subject, point by point, in complete detail before moving on to the next subject. The writer should select points by which both subjects can be examined. The number of body paragraphs will be determined by the number of points discussed in the essay.

B) Point-by-Point Approach. This organizational pattern is most effective when used on longer essays, such as a comparison of two articles, short stories, or novels. The body of such an essay is organized by discussing one point at a time and how it applies to each subject before moving on to the next point. For long works, at least three points should be examined if not more.

In beowulf what does Grendel do to the Thanes in Denmark

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

Grendel terrorizes the Thanes every night as the soldiers of Hrothgar are asleep. He kills them and thus prevents them from staging a fight back. The Thanes are so terrorized at the hands of Grendel for many years until a Geatish warrior named Beowulf comes to their rescue.

Explanation:

b) Beowulf was an epic poem, which chronicled the events that took place in Denmark in the early part of the 6th century CE. Controversially, it is believed to have been authored between 700 and 750 by an unknown poet. The main lesson from this poem is that it is rewarding to be courageous, charitable, and loyal. As a well-deserved reward, Beowulf later became the king of the Thanes after the death of Hrothgar.
