<span>Herot is a mead hall, which is bustling, bright, and full of energy. Herot stands for something large and magnificent, which is everything that Grendel's home is not. Grendel's home is described as dark and swampy, and a place where no human would want to live. These two are exact opposites, with Herot representing the light and Grendel's home representing the darkness.</span>
Answer:
compare and contrast.
Explanation:
The passage starts with a statement backed by popular opinion, "Most people think of sleep as a time when the mind and body can rest after a day of activity." After this it throws a curve ball giving a statement backed by fact, saying, "doctors know much more than that." The passage proceeds to explain what doctors know, which is comparing and contrasting, popular belief and fact.
This is pretty much the whole structure of this informational passage.
Answer:
After arriving at the cave, Odysseus's men ask him to let them steal some cheese and sheep.
Explanation:
<em>"When they saw all this, </em><em>my men begged me to let them first steal some cheeses, and make off with them to the ship; they would then return, drive down the lambs</em><em> and kids, put them on board and sail away with them."</em>
The lines above are spoken by Odysseus himself. The hero and main character of Homer's "The Odyssey" is talking of the time when he and his men arrived at the cave belonging to Polyphemus, a one-eyed giant.
Odysseus is on his way home after the war in Troy. However, having been arrogant and having defied the gods, Odysseus is punished. The journey home takes years and he and his men suffer a great deal. <u>In this particular episode, the Cyclops Polyphemus will even kill some of them for entering his cave. Odysseus later regrets no having listened to his men. All they asked him to let them do upon entering the cave was steel some of giant's cheese and sheep, and then leave. Since Odysseus wouldn't let them, they were trapped by the Cyclops.</u>
Note: In the excerpt, the word "kids" refers to the baby sheep.
