Hi, can someone help me on these two questions? It's for the short story, "After Twenty Years". Thanks!

English

Answer:

for number 1.)

When the policeman "with his stalwart form" approaches the man lurking in the dark, the man speaks quickly. The light from his match shows a pale face with keen eyes, a scar near the eyebrow, and a scarf pin with a large diamond, "oddly set." He also carries an expensive watch, also set with diamonds. The pale face, keen eyes, and the scar are all hints as to the man's past.

The contrast between the two men hint at obvious differences in character. The policeman in uniform carries only his club and moves impressively and not "for show." He is "a fine picture of the guardian of the peace." The stranger is hidden in darkness, keeping a strange "appointment." He has diamonds-one that is oddly set

Number 2.)

There was now a fine, cold drizzle falling, and the wind had risen from its uncertain puffs into a steady blow.

So often weather is used by authors as foreshadowing since it can so easily suggest mood and emotion.

Explanation:Hope this helps! :)

Describe the personal characteristics that makes Grendel an antagonist in Beowulf
cricket20 [7]

Answer: I actually just ready Beowulf for my Brit Lit class :)

Explanation:

Grendel displays nothing but the most primitive human qualities in the original Beowulf epic. However, he is an intelligent and temperamental monster in Grendel, capable of logical thinking as well as unreasonable emotional outbursts. The monster Grendel also appears as human in the novel as the people he observes. This vague characterisation is reinforced by Grendel 's history. Grendel is pursued by the novel through three phases of his life. The first stage is his childhood, which he spends innocently, untroubled by the outside environment or existential concerns, exploring his confined world. His first exposure to the wider world is Grendel's exploration of the lake of firesnakes and the realm beyond it, one full of risk and possibility. As such, when Grendel moves into adulthood, crossing the lake is a critical step for him. When the bull hits him, the second step, which decisively makes Grendel an adult, happens, causing him to understand that the universe is basically unpredictable, follows no pattern and is ruled by no discernible cause. This realization, in turn, prompts the query that forms the adult quest of Grendel, perhaps the twentieth century's greatest philosophical query: given a world without inherent meaning, how should one live his or her life? Grendel attempts to address this question in the second, adult stage of his life by studying the human race, which fascinates him because of its capacity to create patterns and then enforce those patterns on the environment, generating a perception that a consistent, orderly structure is pursued by the environment. His deadly struggle with Beowulf and the weeks leading up to that war encompass the third and final stage of Grendel 's life. Ultimately, the experience gives a violent conclusion to Grendel 's quest.
