One of the major themes in Beowulf is conquest. What lessons can you learn from reading about the battles and accomplishments

English

Answer:

<em>Beowulf</em> is a famous Old English epic poem and one of the most important works in the whole English literature. In the poem, a hero named Beowulf heads towards the mead-hall of Heorot, to help king Hrothgar and his people fight a creature called Grendel.

The value system in medieval society was quite different than nowadays. Men were expected to demonstrate their physical strength and skills in battles. Beowulf is the character mainly involved in the theme of conquest - he is brave, strong and a true Anglo-Saxon hero. Beowulf's courage is demonstrated three times throughout the poem - when he fights and kills Grendel, his mother, and ultimately the dragon. After the first two victories, Beowulf becomes the new king and assumes dominance. Beowulf does everything he can to protect his people. As combat was a particular test of one's manhood, Beowulf's bravery and strength thus improve his reputation in society and make him a new ruler. Strength and bravery were, in medieval society, characteristics which enabled men to conquer territories and establish authority.  Finally, Beowulf proves to be a real hero when he risks his life and dies to protect his people from the dragon.

A Raisin in the Sun:
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Walter Lee Younger is a dreamer who tries to find quick solutions to solve his family's problems. He wanted to invest his father's insurance money to start up a liquor store. He thinks money will solve all his family's problems, but that's not true. One prediction is that he will continue to be this way, which will end up in his relationships with Mama, Ruth and Beneatha to be strained.

The second prediction is that he will change his ways, which is seen in the end of the play when Mr. Lindner offers to pay them to prevent them from moving into the white neighborhood. Walter refuses the money that Mr. Lindner offers so his family can live in their dream home, which shows promise of his personality traits changing, knowing that money won't solve all the problems.

Explanation:

This is what I came up with and I truly hope it helps. It was fun kind of going back to this play cause I read it in my sophomore year of high school, so I hope this helps!

IgorC [24]

Answer: Poe's life was very depressing, which helped his inspiration for his dark stories. He was separated from his parents and siblings at birth, and went on to watch the rest of his family die around him. These dark events in his life stimulated his unique and creepy style of writing, which is what he is famous for.
