In order to put pressure on Corey to give an answer, the courts tortured the man, placing large stones on his chest to force him to say something. Despite the horrific pain, Corey refuses to incriminate himself or any of his friends and neighbors, simply asking for "more weight" before he dies from the crushing burden of the stones. This leaves the community, and the Proctors in particular, with the impression that Corey was "a fearsome man." He is respected for his strength and courage in the face of the court's insane practices. Being a landowner in this time, was seen as having power. It was something sought after by many men and they would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Putnam wanted more and more land and Corey Giles owned land.
I hope this helps!
The answer would be C. In medias re literally means "in the middle of things" in Latin :-)
Answer:
The best option concerning how Grendel's characterization in "Beowulf" differs from his characterization is "Grendel" is:
B. In "Beowulf" he is a static character, but in "Grendel" he is a dynamic character.
Explanation:
In literature, a static character is one that does not undergo important change. He is basically the same from beginning to ending. On the other hand, a dynamic character does go through important internal changes as the plot unfolds. Those changes can be emotional or psychological, for instance.
In the epic poem "Beowulf", the character Grendel is described as a monster incapable of feeling. He seems to exist solely with the purpose of terrorizing and killing men. However, in John Gardner's "Grendel", the character is developed further. He has feelings, and he suffers precisely because he is not capable of conveying those feelings. His actions are misinterpreted, his monstrous appearance being all everyone can see and judge upon. Thus, we can safely say that, in "Beowulf", Grendel is a static character, while in "Grendel" he is a dynamic character.
Answer: 1. Setting: a. The foggy, dark streets of London, 2. External conflict: e. Jekyll and Utterson disagree over the strange requests in Jekyll's will, 3. Theme: b. Humanity is both good and evil, 4. Internal conflict: d. Jekyll struggles to keep Hyde under control and 5. Plot: c. A doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong.
Explanation: The setting of a story is the time and place where the story takes place (like the foggy, dark streets of London). The conflict is the struggle between opposite forces, usually between the main character and himself (internal conflict, like between Jekyll and Hyde), society or another character (external conflict, like Dr. Jekyll arguing with Utterson). The theme of a story is the message the author wants to express (like humanity is both good and evil). And finally, the plot is the group of events that develops the story (like a doctor and scientist's experiment goes wrong).
D. He says that many young criminals are known to their victims
