I think one way would be that people in libraries feel safer under that roof of a quiet building and be able to calm themselves in a good book or magazine without the worry of the outside world.
I believe that the last answer would be your best option
Madison believed that a republic would be better than a pure democracy for a large and populous nation. Madison defined pure democracy as incapable of controlling the acts of Faction on the Government because it's a society consisting of a small number of citizens who assemble and administer government in person. A communication and concert result from the form of government itself, and there is nothing to check the inducements to sacrifice the weaker party or an obnoxious individual, etc. Pure democracy could be the best type of government in people's vote on everything from fixing a road in California, to oil drills in Alaska. In a republic the public vote for a group who will vote on it on the public's behalf among the other elected "representatives" so people in florida don't have to vote for something happening in Michigan
Where the excerpt?
I cant explain if I don't know what story your talking about.
-The hall was the center of aristocratic lifestyles in Anglo-Saxon time period. A king or lord and their peoples ate, drank, and conversed within the mead hall; it was a place of gathering for everyone.
-The first thing that comes to mind about the treasure, is that it is the dragon's treasure that leads Beowulf to the Danes, but we are also told that a great leader also distributes his wealth and treasures to his men. The most common kenning for a king, or leader, was "ring-giver".
-Gold validates greatness in battle, and is treasured among the finest of prizes in the Dark Age Germanic peoples.
-Yes, Beowulf is the idea of a hero, he is larger than life, brave, strong, loyal and respected. The response of his men after his death shows his true ability to lead, and his love for the men and his people is reciprocated to him in his death.
