Read the excerpt from Grendel. It wasn’t because he threw that battle-ax that I turned on Hrothgar. That was mere midnight fooli

shness. I dismissed it, thought of it afterward only as you remember a tree that fell on you or an adder you stepped on by accident, except of course that Hrothgar was more to be feared than a tree or snake. It wasn’t until later, when I was full-grown and Hrothgar was an old, old man, that I settled my soul on destroying him—slowly and cruelly. What does the author use in this excerpt to develop Grendel’s character?

What does the author use in this excerpt to develop Grendel’s character?

Grendel’s words

Grendel’s thoughts

Hrothgar’s words

Hrothgar’s perspective

Answer:

Grendel’s thoughts

Explanation:

According to the excerpt, the author uses Grendel's thoughts to develop his character. This is because Grendel is an important character in the novel because he is one of the monsters that was defeated and killed by Beowulf.

By using Grendel's thoughts, the author lets the readers know that the monster was truly a lonely creature who was surrounded by a lot of meaningless things.

The word vent originates from the Latin word “exventare:” ex- which means “out” + ventus which means “wind.” Which vocabulary wo
mr_godi [17]
When looking for a root word you want to locate the part of the word that doesn't include prefixes or suffixes. The root of exventare is 'vent', which is seen in the word ventilator.

The definition also aligns with the root word (ventus, meaning wind), because a ventilator is a type of fan that allows air to exit a room. In medicine,  it is also a device that helps a person breathe--allowing air to enter and exit their bodies.

It takes a lot of time. The writing process is sometimes long and tedious and that is why many view it as the hardest part of an essay.

Eva8 [605]

The correct answer is “Antony wants to make the people angry by defending Caesar.”

Indeed, although he uses irony over repetition of the term “honorable” to describe Brutus and his accomplices, both the context and the excessive repetition indicate that the opposite effect is intended. Also, he cleverly uses an axiom (self-evident truth that requires no proof) when he says that people remember the evil deeds of a person after his death and that whatever good they did fades from memory.

However, again, he is seeking for the opposite emotional response as he knows that the plebs only remember good things about Caesar, which inevitably means that they will do the exact opposite of what the axiom states: they will remember his good deeds towards them and hate those who murdered him. Then he provides factual evidence of Caesar’s good deeds such as the “filling up of the general coffers” and his rejection of the crown when it was offered to him. He aims to provoke an uprising by using rhetoric to get the people to act instead of a frontal attack on Brutus and his accomplices who are still too powerful.
