In this paragraph, the author provides us a first-person perspective to help us understand the creature’s actions. The author describes the creature’s movements as it terrorizes all of humanity, and is a practical embodiment of evil on Earth. While the epics have provided us with a scenario where the Grendel is symbolic of everything evil on Earth, and Beowulf is the hero that saves humanity from this deadly evil. However, in the poem, the poet provides the reader a perspective of the monster’s narrative, which might help readers to understand events in an entirely different light, and how he develops his understanding of men, and the consequences of such actions. His raids to the village of Hart show his mission to remove evil from the face of Earth, that he associated it with humans.  

Further Explanation:

In the poem, we learn that Grendel is not a monster, but is rather fascinated by the world of humans. He leads a seemingly content life with his mother in a cave, hidden away from humans. Thus, he knew that he was different from them and he may not be accepted by humans. Not to say, the humans were not kind to him either. Throughout his lifetime, Grendel observes human civilization transform from a rudimentary nomadic tribe to an empire with a ruling government. However, despite the many wonders of humans, Grendel is upset to see that humans have engaged themselves in all forms of violence, battle and brought misery on their fellow humans. This enrages him and he decides to wage war on all humans, associating them with evil. He decides to embark on a mission to reduce the evil on Earth. He seemingly compares his beastly looks and uncouthness and is ashamed of the fact that he cannot acquire the skills of humans.

The answer is: the creature’s actions.

In the excerpt from  "Grendel," the author John Gardner uses the first-person point of view to develop the protagonist's character by describing his movements and reactions. For example, he covers his ears, moves his mouth and runs quickly on four legs striking his chest.

zlopas [31]

Answer:

C. I don't like snakes.

Explanation:

An independent clause is a phrase that can stand on its own as a sentence. "I don't like snakes" has a subject, verb, and noun; therefore it is a complete sentence. None of the other answer choices are complete sentences; they are dependent clauses.
