At the end of "Notes of a Native Son", Baldwin's argument that resolves one of his central ideas is C. That hatred or acceptance are choices one must make.

Upon his father's death, Baldwin had a sort of epiphany: he was finally able to understand the meaning behind the words his father had preached for so many years. He comes to the conclusion that to choose to be bitter, to choose to hate, is an unintelligent choice: "But I knew that it was folly, as my father would have said, this bitterness was folly. It was necessary to hold on to the things that mattered."

He then moves on to the last paragraph concerning the two ideas a person can hold in their mind: total acceptance and non-acceptance. Total acceptance means conformity, seeing "injustice as a commonplace" and living as if nothing can or should be done, for things will never change. On the other hand, however, non-acceptance is never taking injustice as commonplace, it is fighting it.

Such fight, however, must not be carried out with hatred, since hatred destroys the one who hates as well. As Baldwin says, "it had now been laid to my charge to keep my own heart free of hatred and despair." No other person could have made that decision but himself. However opposite the ideas may sound, he chose to not accept and to not hate.

People with linguistic problems are expected to suffer more from c. selective impairment​.

<h3>How is selective impairment different from cognitive impairment?</h3>

Cognitive impairment occurs when a person cannot remember, learn new things, concentrate, or make decisions.

What proves Beowulf is a hero on a quest
Greeley [361]
The fact that Beowulf is killed shows that he is an imperfect hero not an infallible one. He is described as someone greater than al other men. Beowulf is honorable because he is courageous and a fighter. When Beowulf realizes that the battle with the fire dragon will go against him he continues to fight. That's why he is a hero on a quest.


I have this for my English class and i did the quizzes and my Topic test for Beowulf and i got 80% which is a good grade. I hope this will help you :)
