katen-ka-za [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer and Explanation:

Grendel and Hrothgar are characters in the famous epic poem "Beowulf". <u>Grendel is described as a man-eating monster and as a descendant of Cain. As we know, according to the Bible, Cain was the first man to ever commit murder. For that reason, Cain was cursed by God.</u>

Hrothgar, on the other hand, has a connection with God.<u> As the king, Hrothgar was chosen by God </u>- it is believed across several cultures that the king and queen of a country are God's descendants or representatives. <u>That is why Grendel cannot attach his throne. The glorious throne is also protected by God, and Grendel, as a descendant of Cain, is a cursed creature.</u>

Andrews [41]

Answer:

i, Too is a short, free verse poem that focuses on African American identity within the dominant white culture of the USA. It encapsulates the history of oppression of black people by means of slavery, denial of rights and inequality.

Inspired by Walt Whitman's 'I Sing the Body Electric', Hughes must have intended the poem's first line as a contrasting clarion call - the black person is worthy to be an American too, to sing of the country that they help build.

The poem's first person male speaker could be young or old but is sending out the still relevant message of hope for change. By placing the speaker in a house, metaphorically the USA, Hughes brings the issue of black rights into the personal domestic space of the American people.

This connects directly back to Abraham Lincoln, the American civil war and the role of African American slaves in the great houses of plantation owners. Lincoln himself said that: 'A house divided against itself cannot stand.'

The first-person point of view allows readers to
Gnom [1K]
The best answer provided is A. experience an event though the author's eyes

I got this because the first-person point of view is the authors perspective, or the perspective of the person who is telling the story. It uses pronouns like I or you, instead of she or he.

Hope this helps!
