My grandparent's house is a magical place for me and I love to visit it often. There is an amazing loft where I can sit and enjo

y spying down on my brothers. I also feel glad to get into the smelly chicken coop every morning to check for fresh eggs. There is a wonderful swing in a gigantic, old maple tree and a tall, black totem pole on the front steps which mesmerizes me most. The totem pole always fascinates me and I love to stare into the blank eyes of the thunderbird at the top and wonder what he is thinking. I enjoy running my small hands over the chiseled black wood and marveling that the carver has included details such as eyes, wings and even feathers. However, it is the thunderbird's nose that intrigues me the most. His long black beak stuck out from the totem pole and has two carved nostrils at the curved end. The nostrils are curious black holes that are tempting for me. One day to have fun, I cautiously poked my finger into the thunderbird's nostril, not sure how far it would go. I suddenly felt a sting that yanked out my finger. Not only had I poked my finger into the nose of the thunderbird, but also right into the back end of a bumble bee. Whenever I see the stately totem, now on my parents' front steps, I remember what an astonishing and amazing way it was for me to learn to "keep my fingers to myself".

I would describe the tone of the paragraph as sentimental. This is because of the speaker's description of the positive memories and experiences in their grandparent's house. The speaker uses words such as "magical", "amazing", "wonderful", and "remember", which shows the positive reflection of the house, which contribute to the sentimental tone.

Some may argue that Grendel is “resentment
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I do not agree with this argument.

Explanation:

Grendel is portrayed as an animalistic, wild and cruel creature. We can see that Grendel has little rationality and, like a wild animal, his actions are driven by instinct, fear and threat. When interpreting the way the story occurs, we can conclude that for Grendel the Da*es were a threat to their territory and their integrity, they were enemies and invaded and competed for their space, needing to be exterminated so that his integrity was maintained.

Thus, I do not believe that Grendel acted out of jealousy, but out of irrationality and savagery to protect his territory and himself.

Grendel can be seen as a metaphor for our day. Because it represents the unknown of nature, which we are all afraid of, just like the Anglo-Saxons. However, we invade, threaten and withdraw the space of nature, seeing us as victims when it attacks us with all its fury and savagery. We see it as a villain and a cruel monster that needs to be defeated, when in fact, we are the ones who provoke the wrath of nature.
