The sight was strange because it was impossible to harm Grendel, but at the same time the sight was wonderful because Grendel's death meant the people would have peace.

Although you haven't shown the text this question refers to, we can see from the context that it refers to "Beowulf."

"Beowulf" is the epic that tells the story of how the Anglo-Saxon hero, Beowulf, defeated the terrifying monster, Grendel. With the reading of this epic, we can say that:

  • Grendel was a terrible and bloodthirsty monster.
  • He was immune to any kind of weapon and his skin was impossible to cut.
  • This means that no one is able to defeat him or even hurt him.
  • But Beowulf, in addition to being strong and very strategic, managed to cut off Grendel's head.

As Grendel was impossible to harm, the sight of his severed head was very strange, as it seemed impossible to happen, but it was a wonderful thing, as the people would be free from his attacks and they would have peace.

During the editing process, look for and eliminate short sentences. strong verbs. clichés. specifics.
Luba_88 [7]

During the editing process, look for and eliminate clichés. A cliché is a a saying or remark that is very often made and is therefore not original and not interesting:

A cliché is a part of an artistic work, a phrase, or a concept that has been overused to the point where it has lost its original meaning or effect, even to the point of being banal or irritating, especially when at one point in time it was thought to be profound or innovative. In phraseology, the phrase now has a more technical meaning and refers to a phrase that has been imposed by standardized language practice.

The phrase is frequently used in contemporary society to describe a concept or action that is predictable or predicted as a result of a previous occurrence. "Clichés" are frequently disparaging and may or may not be true. Some are simple truisms and facts, while others are stereotypical beliefs.  In fiction, clichés are frequently used for humorous effect.
