practical

Even though Grendel seems as though he's being harsh by eating the exile, he is actually being practical. He says he tries to do things that are more considerate like befriending or ignoring him. However, since the exiles were treacherous, eating them is the most practical solution.

Answer:

The answer is D) practical.

Explanation:

In this specific excerpt, Grendel is perfectly capable of logical reasoning as well as feelings. He does feel some sort of compassion for the exiles, which leads him to try and befriend them. But his intelligence also tells him to ignore them when it is convenient. In the end, his practicality wins over everything else. If the exiles cannot be trusted, if they are treacherous, it is best to get rid of them. If to get rid of them they are going to be killed, then it is best to eat them instead of letting their flesh go to waste.

Grendel was originally a character in the epic poem "Beowulf". He was portrayed as an evil monster that devours men. Author John Gardner, however, wrote a novel in which we get to see things from Grendel's perspective. In the novel, he is misunderstood and isolated by men due to his incapacity to express his thoughts and feelings.

which lines from act 3 scene 3 of romeo and juliet show friar laurence believes romeo should be grateful for his punishment

Andrew [12]

ROMEO
What less than dooms-day is the prince's doom?
FRIAR LAURENCE
A gentler judgment vanish'd from his lips,
Not body's death, but body's banishment.
ROMEO
Ha, banishment! be merciful, say 'death;'
For exile hath more terror in his look,
Much more than death: do not say 'banishment.'
FRIAR LAURENCE
Hence from Verona art thou banished:
Be patient, for the world is broad and wide.
ROMEO
There is no world without Verona walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Hence-banished is banish'd from the world,
And world's exile is death: then banished,
Is death mis-term'd: calling death banishment,
Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden axe,
And smilest upon the stroke that murders

True or false: If you can remove your first sentence from your paper and the introduction still makes sense, you have a bad hook

ANEK [815]

This isn't neccessarily true. Your introduction can still make sense without the hook, and the information inside the introduction part should really not directly depend on the hook to explain them, they should either be self explanatory, or you should explain them there.
Hopefully this helps!
