The first glance, the Green Knight is described to be impressive for his physical build.

"Half giant upon earth, I hold him to have been,

In every way of men the tallest he, I ween -"


Second to this physic, the next thing the author describes is his horse and attire;  very green.

"All green bedight that knight, and green his garments fair"

"The very steed beneath the self same semblance ware,"


The author emphasizes the details and quality of the Green Knight's attire. (ex: They gleamed and glittered all with green stones rich and rare) Not only does this indicate that the Green Knight is of high importance, but his appearance hints that he may possibly be a mythical character.

Answer:

Sample answer: The crowd’s response is realistic; people are amazed, fearful, curious, and courteous. The green knight is supernatural. He and his horse shine green, and some people think he is a phantom or fairy.

The great gatsby summary<br>​
katrin [286]

Daisy, Tom, and Gatsby are filthy rich people. Daisy becomes infatuated with Gatsby despite her relationship with Tom...their relationship is already broken anyways since Tom has been cheating on Daisy with some chick named Myrtle. Nick(the narrator) is fascinated with Gatsby, but Nick plays hardly any noticable role in the story...he's more of an onlooker of all the rich-people drama. Gatsby and Daisy fall "in love" or perhaps they're just lustful for one another. Long story short, Daisy runs over Tom's lover Myrtle and kills her...and then a couple days later Gatsby dies in his fancy pool.

A. Good-humored

B. Self-confident

C. Modest

D. Inquisitive

                                                  Explanations:

(A) Good humored is the most positive one, because it's nice to have a good humored person, while on the other hand sarcastic is more of a boring, less positive, connotation word.

(B) Self-confident is the best, because if you use conceited, people are gonna think of it as the person being to over/full of theirself, while self confident shows that you're basically confident of yourself, then people won't think of it to be bad.

(C) Modest is best to use, because mousy describes to be like a little mouse, shy and all that. Kinda baby-ish. But using the word modest makes it less negative, and has a little different meaning.

(D) We wouldn't use nosy, because that's automatically rude, etc.

How to summarize a story and explain the different conflicts
fomenos

You take a story and explain the entire thing with only a couple paragraphs, and you don't want to give away any special details that way a person can know a little about the book and want to read it. Like a "A dog and His Ball" is about a lost dog who doesn't have a family and finds an old ball to play with. You would put this on the back of a book and then people would be drawn to read this book. ( I just made something up so it may not make sense sorry.)

I'm not really sure I understand what you are asking, but I tried to answer the best I could, please let me know if this isn't what you meant.
