Explanation:

Patuxet was one of the dozen or so settlements in what is now eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island that comprised the Wampanoag confederation. In turn, the Wampanoag were part of a tripartite alliance with two other confederations: the Nauset, which comprised some thirty groups on Cape Cod; and the Massachusett, several dozen villages clustered around Massachusetts Bay. All of these people spoke variants of Massachusett, a member of the Algonquian language family, the biggest in eastern North America at the time. (Massachusett thus was the name both of a language and of one of the groups that spoke it.) In Massachusett, the name for the New England shore was the Dawnland, the place where the sun rose. The inhabitants of the Dawnland were the People of the First Light.

What is the main conflict in Beowulf?

olya-2409 [2.1K]

<span>The main conflict in Beowulf is <u>B. good versus evil.</u>
Beowulf is your typical hero – he comes to Denmark in order to help the king of the Danes, Hrothgar whose country is devastated by the evil monster Grendel. Grendel is a vicious beast, who is a brute and is not a sapient being. He murders people in Hrothgar’s castle constantly, and will not stop until the man who can beat him comes to Hrothgar’s aid. Beowulf is the typical symbol of good, fighting for the future of mankind, whereas Grendel is a representation of evil and everything in the world that should be cleansed.</span>

Which quotation from the "The Oasis: Africa" best supports the idea that the narrator is trying hard to keep going?

Makovka662 [10]

The fourth quote shows that the narrator is persevering through the hardships. The first quote only says that Arab Sheikh is pushing the narrator on, not that the narrator is actually trying. The second quote is quite the opposite of going on - in this one, the narrator wants to stop. The third quote only talks about the pains the narrator was experiencing, not of if he would go on or not. Only the fourth quote talks about moving on despite all the pain and aching.
