What is the coast-guard’s initial opinion of the Geatland sailors? How does he react to their sudden arrival? Use evidence from
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

1. The coast-guard thought of them as enemies or intruders. Evidence from the text to this was when he asked:

<em>'Who are ye men here, mail-covered warriors,</em>

<em>Clad in your corslets, come thus a-driving</em>

A high riding ship o'er the shoals of the waters,

And hither 'neath helmets have hied o'er the ocean?

<em>I have been strand-guard, standing as warden,</em>

<em>Lest enemies ever anywise ravage</em>

2. On seeing the Geatland warriors arrive the coastland, the coast-guard rose in suspense and boldness and moved quickly to question the sailors on what their mission to the Dane was. Evidence from the text to this is in the statement:<em> </em>

<em>"High on his horse then, Hrothgar's retainer </em>

<em>Turned him to coastward, mightily brandished </em>

<em>His lance in his hands questioned with boldness"</em>

Explanation:

1. From the poem, Beowulf, we learn of the moment when Beowulf arrived at the coastland. The initial opinion of the guard about the unexpected warriors was that they were enemies or intruders who have probably come to spy on the Dane Kingdom. That was why he first asked them:

<em>'Who are ye men here, mail-covered warriors,</em>

<em>Clad in your corslets, come thus a-driving</em>

A high riding ship o'er the shoals of the waters,

And hither 'neath helmets have hied o'er the ocean?

<em>I have been strand-guard, standing as warden,</em>

Lest enemies ever anywise ravage

2.<em> </em>On sighting them, the guard rose in suspense arming himself with some armaments and went on to question them on who they were and what they had come to do in the Kingdom. The pieces of evidence are in these lines:

<em>"High on his horse then, Hrothgar's retainer </em>

<em>Turned him to coastward, mightily brandished </em>

<em>His lance in his hands questioned with boldness"</em>

Two tips that you would give a journalist to help him meet deadlines?
Oxana [17]

Answer: I have more than two, let me know if you want more

1. ORGANIZE AND PLAN

-Have a story outline (but feel free to change it). Have a structure of the story in mind or on the page. Go through your notes and flag the parts you’ll want to use, whether it’s quotes or key points.

2. Write your lead last. It sometimes stumps writers, the body is more important

okay fine ill give you more

3.If you have multiple stories due, prioritize their writing as to your inspiration. For example, if your brain feels sluggish, write the simple, =story first to warm up. But if you're feeling poetic and the caffeine is kicking in, write the more difficult story before the energy and inspiration leave you.

4.Set yourself a deadline earlier than the publication's deadline.

Let me know if you want more!!
