Let’s start with the basics first… The Dust Bowl was the name given to the drought-stricken Southern Plains region of the United States, which suffered severe dust storms during a dry period in the 1930s. As high winds and choking dust swept the region from Texas to Nebraska, people and livestock were killed and crops failed across the entire region. The massive dust storms caused farmers to lose their livelihoods and their homes. Deflation from the Depression aggravated the plight of Dust Bowl farmers. Prices for the crops they could grow fell below subsistence levels. In 1932, the federal government sent aid to the drought-affected states. Now here is why it stopped or how we stopped it. While the dust was greatly reduced thanks to ramped up conservation efforts and sustainable farming practices, the drought was still in full effect in April of 1939. In the fall of 1939, rain finally returned in significant amounts to many areas of the Great Plains, signaling the end of the Dust Bowl. Hope this helps!

In what way could the battle between grendel and beowulf be seen as an allegory for the battle between the pagans and christiani

bija089 [108]

Grendel is presented in the Beowulf story as an embodiment of ungodly evil, and so in the defeat of Grendel by Beowulf can be seen as an allegory for the battle between good and evil and between Christianity (which was then taking root in England) and paganism.

Beowulf is an old, old story by an unknown Anglo-Saxon poet, written in Old English. It stems back to around 1000 AD. By that time, England had become largely Christianized, and so the cultural context of the epic poem would naturally include allusions to Christianity overcoming paganism. In the story, Grendel and his mother are called "descendants of Cain," a reference to the biblical figure of the first son of Adam and Eve, Cain, who became the world's first murderer and a figure associated with evil and chaos and abandonment of the true God. Beowulf can be seen as something of a "Savior" to defend what is right and good.

Frederick Klaeberg, in his analysis, Beowulf and the Fight at Finnsburg (1950), noted that we might recognize features of the Christian Savior, Jesus, in Beowulf, who is depicted as "the destroyer of hellish fiends, the warrior brave and gentle, blameless in thought and deed, the king that dies for his people."
