’s opposition to conventional ideas of patriotism? 1 "NO, YOU DIDN'T EXPECT HIM TO GET KILLED" Mrs. Gearson repeated in a voice which was startlingly like George's again. 2 "YOU JUST EXPECTED HIM TO KILL SOMEONE ELSE, SOME OF THOSE FOREIGNERS, THAT WEREN'T THERE BECAUSE THEY HAD ANY SAY ABOUT IT, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO BE THERE, POOR WRETCHES—CONSCRIPTS, OR WHATEVER THEY CALL 'EM. You thought 3 "IT WOULD BE ALL RIGHT FOR MY GEORGE, YOUR GEORGE, TO KILL THE SONS OF THOSE MISERABLE MOTHERS AND THE HUSBANDS OF THOSE GIRLS THAT YOU WOULD NEVER SEE THE FACES OF." The woman lifted her powerful voice in a psalm-like note. 4 "I THANK MY GOD HE DIDN'T LIVE TO DO IT! I THANK MY GOD THEY KILLED HIM FIRST, AND THAT HE AIN'T LIVIN' WITH THEIR BLOOD ON HIS HANDS!" She dropped her eyes which she had raised with her voice,

<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>

Read the excerpt from "Object Lesson 1".
gtnhenbr [62]

The words in this excerpt give the description a gloomy tone.

Something is gloomy when it is dark, depressing, and presents very little life of hope.

Here, we are reading about a room or a house. So the term <em>gloomy</em> in this context would most probably have to do with the interior being old, worn-out, or poorly cared for. This is exactly what the words with negative connotations in this excerpt are conveying:

  • "musty", "peeling", "mutilated", and "warped" show a lack of maintenance,
  • "pungent smell" indicates a lack of cleanliness,
  • "dicolored" and "tarnished" suggest that the place is very old.
