Answer:

The three examples of imagery found in Section XX that suggests Grendel and his mother lived in a sinister place are:

  1. 'They live in secret places...'
  2. '...At night that lake/Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,...'
  3. 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds,/A stag with great horns,...prefers to die.'

Explanation:

Beowulf is one the oldest surviving literary piece; written in Old English with author unknown.

The Section XX of the epic describes the events of avenge of Grendel's mother on Danes after her son's death. The section also describes vividly the place where the duo of monstrous son-mother lived.

The place where they lived is described through imagery as a sinister.

The lines that supports this description are:

  1. 'They live in secret places...'
  2. '...At night that lake/Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,...'
  3. 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds,/A stag with great horns,...prefers to die.'

These lines suggests that Grendel and his mother lived in a sinister, deep, secret place on the earth. They lived at the most bottom place of the lake <em>'which knows no bottom' </em>and the lake <em>'burns like a torch in the night.' </em> The place is so sinister that a stag, who is hunted by a pack of hounds would love to die instead of exploring the depths of this lake.

Please i’m begging y’all to help me, the questions are in the picture and the passage is down below.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

1. The shrubs and grassland.

It says in the passage the "To the right were the narrow beaches of the Spanish coastline, its shrubs and grassland burnt down after a long summer." This clearly shows that the summer has been hot as the plants and grasses have been burnt down.

2. Herds of goats, two ragged young goatherds.

Again, the passage says that they were close enough to shore to make out these two features.

3. They got tired

It says in the passage that the dolphins got "tired of its sport" and "turned aside"

4. This one you obviously have to do yourself, but here's an example of how I would put it.

i. He wanted to go further into Morocco to get an adventure

ii. His job (protecting his sister from a rouge), and earning money for the family in the place of his ill father

5. He was not troubled because he had gone on many fishing expeditions as a boy and was used to these rough sea conditions.

6. He wanted to become a sailor when he was a boy. Lempriere lived on the island of Jersey.

7. I don't see any italics. However, most of the time, authors use italics to highlight important ideas or express the main character's thoughts. For example it would be like: "The sea was <em>very</em> rough" or "<em>That's the last supper we are going to get.</em> She thought."

   1. exhilerating - exciting

   2. egnimatical - difficult to understand

   3. endure - last as in lasting during a difficult time

   4. petered out - faded out, became less as in they slowly stopped talking

ii. This again, you might want to do yourself. But here's how I would put it.

These words helped create and convey more vivid images, helping the reader depict exactly how he felt or what he saw.

I hope this was helpful. Sorry it took so long to type out :)

CHORUS: And the hot-tempered child of Dryas, king of the Edonians, was put in prison, closed up in the rocks by Dionysus, for hi
Montano1993 [528]
The playwright wants to illustrate fear to the audience because they fear the anger of Dryas and so he was put into prison for that reason, but maybe sadness as well because of the reason he was send to jail.

How does Joyce develop this theme of paralysis in “Eveline”?
Stella [2.4K]
"I take the theme of 'Eveline' to be one of Joyce's key preoccupations, the idea of paralysis, our inability to break out of situations that have become home for us, even when those situations are unpleasant or worse. Most of the story is taken up with Eveline's reflections and her attempts to balance her decision"

I hope this was helpful!
