Answer:

From "On Being A Cripple" by Nancy Mairs

The claim is "I am a cripple."

Explanation:

This claim by Nancy is an assertion by her that something is. Usually, as Nancy is making the declaration, she does not provide any evidence to support her affirmation. This is because the readers of this story cannot ascertain why Nancy concludes that she is crippled. If some evidence is given, the claim remains subjective as it is the narrator's personal opinion. After all, she can still claim that she is divinely and extremely blessed in her physical condition.

Nancy Mairs (1986) wrote this short story to question the imprecise descriptions that society has been coining to label some people who are not like others in physical look, as if lessening the truth or bluntness about a person's condition could lessen the pains. For Nancy, she disagrees totally. Instead, she finds meaning and humor on being described as a cripple, the plain truth about her physical condition. She states that she is simply physically crippled. No euphemism should be intended.

Even as I am checking my write-up on this issue, it is being reported as "sensitive" instead of "vulgar." This shows that our society is relegating truth to niceties, just to pander to the sensibilities of others.

valentinak56 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>B. Grendel's destiny will be alienation and isolation </em>

<em></em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

From the earliest starting point of his story, we can see that Grendel is now entirely tired of language. Possibly, it is the impact of outrageous separation he is continually portraying a mind-blowing narrative to himself (and to us) and scripting scenes carried on by others. The language here is almost Grendel sees and makes the world. He has a solipsistic perspective on the real world: nothing exists outside himself except if he sees it (or so he thinks).
