The myth the death of balder conveys the theme that e cannot control our fate

RoseWind [281]

There are many reasons that Loki hated Balder. For instance, Balder was the“favorite of everyone among the gods” (Rosenberg 468); that alone will drive someone who craves to be noticed mad with jealousy. Also, Balder was described as the best of the gods (something you can only assume made Loki feel less superior).

Identify kennings associated with grendel and grendels mother. How do these phrases convey the poets attitude toward the charact

vampirchik [111]

Kenning is a figurative expression or metaphor used to point or name something instead of it proper noun. The Kennings were used extensively in Anglo-Saxon poetry. Beowulf is full of them, here are some examples which were used for Grendel and his mother:

Shepherd of Evil (Grendel)
shadow of death (Grendel)
Mankind enemy (Grendel)
She-wolf (Grendel's mother)
Mighty Water Witch (Grendel's mother) 

All of them tells that the poet looks at both of them as symbol of evil but along with that source of mighty power also.

Helppppppppp meeeee

-BARSIC- [3]

Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Jade sighed and clicked the mouse again. It still wasn't working. Then suddenly the screen went black. "Oh no!" wailed Jade. "It's all gone! I don't have time to start again!"

What was Jade trying to get to work? How do you know?

The computer. It was probably frozen, and would not respond.

How did Jade feel when the screen went black?

She was upset, because the computer stopped working and she was probably doing an assignment, and it had not saved when the computer stopped responding.

How long do you think Jade had been sitting there?

Probably long time, because most likely she had been waiting for the computer to work again, so that she could finish what she was trying to do.

What might Jade have been doing before this happened?

As stated in the previous answers, Jade was most likely doing an assignment, and she was trying to save her progress when the computer suddenly stopped responding.

How do you know?

We can infer the above from her reaction at the computer screen going black. She is distraught at the computer's refusal to work, and her statement at the end: “Oh no! It's all gone! I don't have time to start again!” leads us to believe that whatever she was doing was extremely important and urgent.
