In beowulf what does Grendel do to the Thanes in Denmark

English
1 answer:
Arlecino [84]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Grendel terrorizes the Thanes every night as the soldiers of Hrothgar are asleep.  He kills them and thus prevents them from staging a fight back.  The Thanes are so terrorized at the hands of Grendel for many years until a Geatish warrior named Beowulf comes to their rescue.

Explanation:

b) Beowulf was an epic poem, which chronicled the events that took place in Denmark in the early part of the 6th century CE.  Controversially, it is believed to have been authored between 700 and 750 by an unknown poet.  The main lesson from this poem is that it is rewarding to be courageous, charitable, and loyal.  As a well-deserved reward, Beowulf later became the king of the Thanes after the death of Hrothgar.

KatRina [158]
At lunch, Scout rubs Walter’s nose in the dirt for getting her in trouble, but Jem intervenes and invites Walter to lunch (in the novel, as in certain regions of the country, the midday meal is called “dinner”). At the Finch house, Walter and Atticus discuss farm conditions “like two men,” and Walter puts molasses all over his meat and vegetables, to Scout’s horror. When she criticizes Walter, however, Calpurnia calls her into the kitchen to scold her and slaps her as she returns to the dining room, telling her to be a better hostess. Back at school, Miss Caroline becomes terrified when a tiny bug, or “cootie,” crawls out of a boy’s hair. The boy is Burris Ewell, a member of the Ewell clan, which is even poorer and less respectable than the Cunningham clan. In fact, Burris only comes to school the first day of every school year, making a token appearance to avoid trouble with the law. He leaves the classroom, making enough vicious remarks to cause the teacher to cry. At home, Atticus follows Scout outside to ask her if something is wrong, to which she responds that she is not feeling well. She tells him that she does not think she will go to school anymore and suggests that he could teach her himself. Atticus replies that the law demands that she go to school, but he promises to keep reading to her, as long as she does not tell her teacher about it.

Which of these excerpts from the poems you read is an example of personification?
Hatshy [7]

An example of personification is:

I placed a jar in Tennessee, / . . . It made the slovenly wilderness / Surround that hill (Stevens, "The Anecdote of the Jar") 

The correct option is A.

Personification is the representation of things in human qualities or nature in abstract terms.

In the above lines from the poem "The Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens the jar has been personified as a symbol of technology and humanity and Tennessee is a symbol of nature and wilderness. The poem is about the struggles and hardships which a human undergoes to overcome the wilderness. The human-made creation like jar restricts the intensity of the wilderness as humans control nature.
