Explanation:

Similes and metaphors are used to compare things. Similes is used to compare things or individuals by using words such as "like" or "as". An example of simile is "John is as gentle as a dive".

Note in chronological order the two acts of revenge that Hrothgar describes in section XX

AlekseyPX

The first act of revenge that Hrothgar mentions is Grendel's mother, "That errant evil", capturing his advisor <span>Aeschere and feasting on him. She does this to avenge the death of her son, Grendel. Another act of revenge is what Beowulf must do, to kill Grendel's mother to avenge Aeschere's death. In Hrothgar's view (and according to the Anglo-Saxon idea of justice), Beowulf must exterminate this daemon to restore the king's order on Earth.</span>

Write an essay stating your opinion on which is more important: preparing for the future or focusing on the present.

natima [27]

The essay can be written by evaluating points as follows;

In comparison with the states of matter, iterate the three states of time. This creates the basis for the comparison.

Discuss the properties of each states of time.

Discuss the properties of the future in relation to the present including how the actions of the present influence what the future holds.

Draw a conclusion from the aforementioned procedures in accordance with the essay requirements.

An example of the essay is as follows;

Just like the states of matter; the states of time are split into the past, present and the future. It is no news that the past as they say can't be changed. The future on the other hand can to some extent be influenced by the actions of the present time.

It is on this note, that I'd support the motion to focus more on the present rather than preparing for the future.

This is as a result of the fact that; the series of events which define the present are the influential factors of what the future holds.
