When Grendel says Hrothgar's "warriors became hornets" (40), what literary device is being used?

1 answer:

3 0

The device used here is metaphor. Hrothgar’s men do not become hornets but they fight with the ferocity of hornets whose nest was bothered. Even if Grendel is impervious to their weapons, they fight to defend what is theirs. Later on, Grendel would feel the pain he inflicted on others when he fought Beouwulf.

jeka57 [31]

This question is asking u to convert the number into scientific notation. pretend there's a decimal behind the last zero. move that decimal in between 3 and 4. and count how many digits u went. it's 14. so 3.48 X 10^14
so verbally it's three and forty-eight thousandths times 10 to the fourteenth power. <span />
