Let the Number be : Z

Given : 4 less than the number is 1 more than 2 times the number

:\implies  (Z - 4) - 1 = 2Z

:\implies  Z - 4 - 1 = 2Z

:\implies  Z - 5 = 2Z

How does Beowulf boast to Lord Hrothgar?
BartSMP [9]
He basically gives him his resume, or all the heroic things he has done in the past, such as: he has never been defeated, he has saved many people, he talks about how he lost the swimming match to his friend Brecca because he stopped to help him against sea monsters which attacked him, etc.
These boasts are here for Beowulf to show to Lord Hrothgar that he is worthy of defending his kingdom against the monster Grendel.

What is Lizabeth's main goal in "Marigolds"?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The main theme or message in the story "Marigolds" is the importance of empathy and compassion.

In the story, Lizabeth is reflecting on a crossroads in her life, an incident that marked the change from child to woman. She is apparently honest with readers in telling us how brutal and hostile she was on the day she attacked Miss Lottie verbally and then attacked her property.

Before the day she tore up the old lady's marigolds, she had not thought of Miss Lottie as a person. In fact, Lizabeth and her friends always used to yell, "Witch!" at the old lady. On that particular day, Lizabeth first took the leading role in yelling furiously at her, repeatedly calling her a witch. Later that day, she returned to her house and tore the marigolds out of the ground. Miss Lottie, however, did not yell at the girl; she just looked deeply sad and wondered why she did it. Lizabeth looked into the "sad, weary eyes" of another human being.

At the story's end, the adult Lizabeth explains the impact:

In that humiliating moment I looked beyond myself and into the depths of another person. This was the beginning of compassion, and one cannot have both compassion and innocence . . .
