Iwao Takamoto, the animator who created the cartoon canine Scooby-Doo as well as characters on such shows as "The Flintstones" and "The Jetsons," passed away Monday January 8 at the age of 81.
At the time of his death, Takamoto was a vice president at Warner Bros. Animation. He storyboarded the 2005 Tom and Jerry animation short "The Karateguard," and helped design many of the characters in the current series "Krypto the Superdog." He is survived by his wife, Barbara, and two children.
Iwao Takamoto is responsible for the design of some of the most popular cartoon characters in history. Takamoto's animation career spans form the late 1940s where he worked for the Disney Studios under the tutelage of the legendary "nine old men." With this experience and his own talent, Takamoto's efforts have been employed in Disney classics "Cinderella," "Peter Pan," "Lady and the Tramp," "Sleeping Beauty" and "101 Dalmatians." In fact, Takamoto's ability was so well trusted that in "Lady and the Tramp," he was put in sole charge of Lady's design.
In 1960, Takamoto joined with Hanna-Barbera, where his design acumen created many of what are still considered some of the most popular cartoon characters on the small screen. Although there can be little doubt that Takamoto's most famous claim can be Scooby-Doo, his design efforts have nonetheless touched almost every animated figure to come out of the Hanna-Barbera studio, including "Jonny Quest" and "Josie and the cats" as well as the space-aged landscape found in "The Jetsons." In the early 70s, Takamoto's talents were again put on the big screen when he directed the animation of the award-winning theatrical release of "Charlotte's Web." Takamoto, a recipient of the Windsor McKay's Lifetime Achievement Award for his animated work, was active in the field up to the time of his passing.

The answer is: it describes what the narrator experiences in the story.
Hope this helps.
Anglo-Saxon epic heroes, such as Beowulf, exhibit a series of attributes that separate them from the normal men and women who rely on them to liberate them from the oppression of monsters and other threats. By understanding the qualities that make Beowulf a hero, you can then better understand how other Anglo-Saxon epic heroes, such as Fadlan of "The 13th Warrior" or even the warrior Christ in "The Dream of the Rood" fit into their respective worlds.Greek heroes, like Hercules, were not merely mortals, but demigods, and the idea that a hero must be more than a man carries over into Anglo-Saxon epic poetry. Beowulf is greeted by the first Dane who sees him with an acknowledgment of his awesome presence: "I have never seen a mightier warrior on earth than is one of you, a man in battle-dress."While appearance is important, it is no empty gesture; superhuman strength is also essential to the Anglo-Saxon epic hero. In the seventh section, lines 8 to 10 of Beowulf, titled "Hrothgar and Beowulf," Hrothgar describes Beowulf as having the strength of 30 men: "Who valuable gift-gems of the Geatmen carried / As peace-offering thither, that he thirty men’s grapple / Has in his hand, the hero-in-battle.Courage, in the Anglo-Saxon tradition, works in conjunction with strength, despite the separation that exists in modern culture which sometimes commends restraint and tactical retreats. According to Christopher Garcia of Pace University, Beowulf and other epic heroes are capable of successfully challenging fate "which was thought to be unchangeable" because of adequate courage. Beowulf himself speaks to this importance of courage when arguing with Unferth. He says, ""Fate often saves an undoomed man when his courage is good."Appearance, strength and courage for the Anglo-Saxon epic hero are balanced by humility. After he has defeated both Grendel and Grendel's mother, Beowulf turns down the Danish throne, and decides to return home without treasure. He is described in the poem as "The mildest of men and the gentlest, kindest to his people, and most eager for fame." It should be noted by his eagerness for fame, however, that pride, and possibly hubris, exist in Beowulf simultaneously as his humility, and may be interpreted as a tragic flaw for his ultimate downfall.
Please give me brainliest answer, thanks, and i hope this helps out. I just finished reading Beowulf.
