The passage lists a few things which would lend towards the idea of him being a monster. First, it says "god's anger bare he." referring, presumably, to the abrahamic god famous for his wrath, showing that Grendel was exhibiting intense rage. Second, it uses the sentence "The monster intended some one of earthmen in the hall-building grand to entrap and make way with" which, while a written a little backwards by today's grammar rules, says that he is planning to take hold of and kidnap some of the men in the hall, something only a monster could do.<span />
by insisting that everyone with a soul deserves rights
In the excerpt she says that "if the negro be a soul, if the woman be a soul...to one Master only are they accountable." Throughout the passage, Fuller uses various ways to insist that everyone deserves rights. She strengthens her arguments by comparing women's rights to those of the negro. She uses her arguments to show that if an African American should not be held in bondage, neither should a woman. It doesn't matter your race or gender, if you have a soul, you deserve the same rights as everyone else.
We can complete the sentences considering that the past continuous indicates the action that was taking place when another action happened (simple past).
- Were... driving? / stopped
<h3>What is the simple past tense?</h3>
The simple past tense is the form of the verb we use to indicate that an action took place in the past. We use the simple past tense when the action has already finished.
Examples:
- Affirmative: I saw you at the party last night.
- Negative: I didn't see you at the party last night.
- Interrogative: Did you see me at the party last night?
<h3>What is the past continuous tense?</h3>
The past continuous tense is used to indicate that an action had a longer duration in the past, that is, that it started in the past, lasted for a while, and then ended.
Examples:
- Affirmative: She was watching her favorite cartoon.
- Negative: She wasn't watching her favorite cartoon.
- Interrogative: Was she watching her favorite cartoon.
The two tenses can be used in the same sentence to indicate that one action - simple past - interrupted another action - past continuous - or happened while the other action was taking place.
Example:
- I was cooking when someone rang the doorbell.
