Re Word This Please: (30 Points!!! &amp; Put It in your own words)
Illusion [34]

At the age of sixteen, he was committed to learn about medicine. By the time he was eighteen, he became a physician. At this time, he assisted many others such as Nuh II and Ruler of the Samanids. Many other physicians could not help with this illness, and Amir awarded him by allowing him to use his exclusively stocked royal library.

When Ibn Sina was twenty-two years old, his father died and later moved to to Jurjan near the Caspian Sea to learn about astronomy. Starting his new life, he met his famous contemporary Abu Rayhan al-Biruni. He traveled to  Rey and to Hamadan to write and teach. He has also helped Shams al-Dawla, the Emir of Hamadan with a severe illness.

After Hamadan, he moved to Isfahan to complete his writings and continues to travel too much to where his health wasn't good. The last decade he lived, he spent his time assisting the military commander Ala al-Dawla Muhammad as a physician and general literary and scientific consultant. Eventually, he died at the age of fifty eight in June 1037 A.D, and was buried in Hamedan, Iran.

In Hamadi how does Susan handle the problem of the story
kvv77 [185]

Explanation:

The Problem of Susan depicts its protagonist, Professor Hastings (who strongly resembles an adult version of Susan), dealing with the grief and trauma of her entire family’s death in a train crash, as she is interviewed by a college literature student regarding her opinion on Susan’s place in the Narnia books. Gaiman himself has said of the story that there is much in Lewis’s books that he loves, but each time he read them (or read them aloud to his own children) he found the disposal of Susan to be intensely problematic and deeply irritating. Dealing with this problem was one inspiration for the story, while the other was, in Gaiman’s own words “to talk about the remarkable power of children’s literature”. Hence Professor Hastings comments on “the Victorian notion of the purity and sanctity of childhood [which] demanded that fiction for children should be made… well… pure… and sanctimonious”. This observation is important because, while the story is primarily focused on the ‘problem of Susan’, through it Gaiman also illustrates that Lewis’s beliefs seem to be similar to those of the Victorians. Lewis’s Narnia tales are, on the surface, moralistic adventure books – but they also rely heavily on Christian allegory, and this is what Gaiman and other critics seem primarily to have taken issue with.

It is left ambiguous whether Susan’s absence from Narnia is permanent, especially since Lewis stated elsewhere that: “The books don’t tell us what happened to Susan. She is left alive in this world at the end, having by then turned into a rather silly, conceited young woman. But there’s plenty of time for her to mend and perhaps she will get to Aslan’s country in the end… in her own way”. What has caused Gaiman and other critics to question this is that Lewis is not consistent enough with his characterisation of Susan for his insistence upon her lack of faith (in Aslan, meaning Jesus) to be supported. Certainly, Susan is shown to be the most doubting character in the books. Upon first entering Narnia, she says, “I-I wonder if there is any point going on” and she also has a moment of doubt in Prince Caspian. In both instances, however, she overcomes her fears and in this sense doubts are part of her overall journey – indeed she is forgiven for them by Aslan. But Susan’s lack of faith and willingness to doubt do not emerge in the conversation wherein the Kings and Queens in The Last Battle discuss her exclusion from Narnia – she dismisses Narnia as “all those games we used to play as children”. Is Susan’s lack of belief in Narnia therefore linked, not to lack of faith, but to a different transgression – the desire to “grow up”? Or is it something else altogether?

How does Beowulf go about killing Grendel's mother?
kondor19780726 [428]

Beowulf uses the sword that is hanging on the neighbouring wall to murder Grendel's mother. Grendel is murdered, and in retaliation, Grendel's mother assaults Heorot.

Grendel's mother initially overwhelms Beowulf as she draws him into the lake's depths. Beowulf swings his borrowed sword Hrunting at her head in an attempt to slay her, but it is unable to breach the monster's defences. Finally, he spots a sword hanging on a wall close by. The sword is a massive tool that the giants crafted. The sword is taken by Beowulf, who swings it violently. Grendel's mom is killed as the weapon slashes through her neck.
