Answer:
The three examples of imagery found in Section XX that suggests Grendel and his mother lived in a sinister place are:
- 'They live in secret places...'
- '...At night that lake/Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,...'
- 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds,/A stag with great horns,...prefers to die.'
Explanation:
Beowulf is one the oldest surviving literary piece; written in Old English with author unknown.
The Section XX of the epic describes the events of avenge of Grendel's mother on Danes after her son's death. The section also describes vividly the place where the duo of monstrous son-mother lived.
The place where they lived is described through imagery as a sinister.
The lines that supports this description are:
- 'They live in secret places...'
- '...At night that lake/Burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom,...'
- 'Hunted through the woods by packs of hounds,/A stag with great horns,...prefers to die.'
These lines suggests that Grendel and his mother lived in a sinister, deep, secret place on the earth. They lived at the most bottom place of the lake <em>'which knows no bottom' </em>and the lake <em>'burns like a torch in the night.' </em> The place is so sinister that a stag, who is hunted by a pack of hounds would love to die instead of exploring the depths of this lake.
The sentence in which the underlined verb is used correctly in the subjunctive mood is the one that reads "if I were you, I would try out for the lead in the school play".
In the English language, the subjunctive mood is used to talk about conditional or imaginary situations. In this case, it has been used to explore a condition which is contrary to fact, that is, the person speaking is not the addressee. That is why the sentence reads "if i were you". It is a piece of advise.
In which conversation?
In what story?
Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:
Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?
A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.
B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.
C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.
Answer:
The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.
Explanation:
In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."
Answer:
First Muir described how he slept sometimes without supper, and then he says he had no difficulty finding a loaf of bread at the farmers' houses. He starts of the paragraph with a complaint of sleeping without blankets, and starts to transition again into nature and its beauty. In the paragraph, Muir says "Storms, thunderclouds, winds in the woods—were welcomed as friends;" when we hear storms, thunderclouds, winds, etc. it brings fear, damage, but Muir then says "were welcomed as friends."
