<u>The sentence provided is a compound-complex sentence because it is made up of two independent clauses and one dependent clause</u>. An independent clause is a clause that can stand alone as a sentence. In contrast, a dependent clause does not express a complete thought; therefore, it cannot stand on its own<u>. The two independent clauses in this sentence are "You tell him" and "try to undo the damage", while the dependent clause is "I'll take over from here"</u>, which is a that-clause and also a noun clause. The dependent clause has been joined to the independent clause "try to undo the damage" by means of the coordinating conjunction "and".
If you read Beowulf, you will see that Grendel is a vicious monster who doesn't care about humanity at all - people are there just for him to eat. On the other hand, if you read Grendel, you will see what happened from his point of view - that he is not just a brainless beast, and that he has thoughts and feelings.
