ry creature torn apart by poetry—crawling, whimpering, streaming tears, across the world like a two-headed beast, like mixed-up lamb and kid at the tail of a baffled, indifferent ewe—and I gnashed my teeth and clutched the sides of my head as if to heal the split, but I couldn’t. –Grendel, John Gardner How is Grendel characterized in this passage?

Answer:

B). Grendel is emotional and sensitive.

Explanation:

As per the given description in the passage, Grendel could be inferred as 'emotional and sensitive' which is evidently reflected by his revelation of 'sorrow and tenderness' that proposes a sensitive and disdainful tone to the passage and help conclude Grendel as emotional and tactful.

His emotions and sensitivity are clearly reflected through his grief and sentiments towards 'the pig' as he 'could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig'. His eagerness 'to heal the split' and his disappointment(but I Couldn't do it) to his inability substantiates this claim. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

<em><u>The answer is the second option, "Grendel is emotional and sensitive".</u></em>

We can see that Grendel is showing his feeling through this poem and according to the tone of the poem (which is condescending and kind of love) we can deduce that Grendel is being emotional and sensitive.

It is also shown literally when Grendel is being emotional and it would be: <em>"I was so filled with sorrow and tenderness"</em>  and sensitive when he says: <em>"I could hardly have found it in my heart to snatch a pig! </em>

In about two hundred words, show what you understand about the literary devices used in the plot development of Things Fall Apar
Alexandra [31]

There are many literary devices used in the plot development of <em>Things Fall Apart</em>; let's remember that we call a <em>literary device</em> all those tools an author use to convey his/her ideas and points in a story.

One of the tools used by Achebe in this text is irony. One example of this is Okonkwo's suicide at the end. After saying he could survive everything, you don't expect him to do it.

Another literary device the author uses is foreshadowing. This happens when an event or action hits at a future event or action. This is used, for example, when Okonkwo falls into depression after being exiled to his motherland for killing a clansman and, at the end he commites suicide. This depression meant more for him that any other event and changed his destiny.

Symbolism is other used tool in this story when referred to a man's ability to grow yams. It is directly tied to his manhood and how others see him as a man. In this particular case, the yam is the major symbol of masculinity.
