This excerpt is written in first person.

Grammatical persons are traits that express a relationship of the people referenced in a speech act with that act. It distinguishes the first person, who is the transmitter of spoken; the second person who would be the receiver or who listens and the third person who is any person independent of the transmitter and receiver.

To realize that the first person is spoken, we notice that the "I" is used to describe the personal pronoun, as is done in this text.

In a response of two to three sentences, explain how the action described in the following lines helps show Grendel as a monster
Amiraneli [1.4K]
The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />

So we awaited our turn in the great hall and then we heard the Council of Vocations call our name: “Equality 7-2521.” We walked
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is A) It contrasts uniform society with Equality 7-2521’s vivid thoughts and feelings.

Explanation:

<u>Even though Equality has adopted some social conventions of this collectivist society (such as using only "we" as a personal pronoun, without the individualist "I"), he still manages to retain the only part of himself that nobody can take away - his vivid thoughts, observation, and imagination.</u> Of course, he can only unveil those thoughts in his secret diary, but he hasn't lost them altogether.

The members of the Council, on the other hand, are silent, cold, and devoid of any observable emotions. Their language is laconic (concise, using a bare minimum of words without any speech ornaments such as imagery). It's as if all five of them are identical, with the only difference being the gender.
