Moreover, Mr. Pirzada's family is still in Pakistan, and this worries him and her greatly. This deeper interest represents a change in Lilias way of thinking. It shows that the girl is becoming more understanding and empathetic. It also shows that Lilias is becoming more mature.
Hello. This question is incomplete this incomplete. the complete question is:
Now you may enter,in your battle-armor,/ wearing war-masks, to see Hrothgar; let shields stay here,tightened war-wood,/your battle-shafts wait the result of words
To what does the kenning battle-shafts refer?
Answer:
swords
Explanation:
Kenning is a figure of speech often used by Anglo-Saxons and can be noticed several times in Beowulf. In short, this figure represents the conjunction of two words creating a kind of "puzzle." This is because the combination of the two words creates a new meaning that represents something easily known. These words are usually related by a hyphen that connects them. In the above excerpt, kenning can be seen in the word "battle-shafts" which can be represented as an elongated object and used in battles, like a sword.
I am new here and this is the first thing i'm doing on this site but to answer the question, i believe the excerpt is written from a first person point of view.
