Assignment Directions:
In a persuasive essay of 400 words, respond to the following prompt by analyzing the following questions and citing specific text evidence to support your analysis. Use MLA format.

Prompt:
Why is Beowulf able to defeat Grendel’s mother? Is his victory proof of his skills as a warrior? Or is it owed to supernatural forces that support the rightness of his cause? Do you believe Beowulf’s cause is righteous or is Grendel’s mother justified in her attack on Heorot?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

When Beowulf sword, Hrunting, loaned to him by Unferth, fails to penetrate the mother's hide, Beowulf discovers a giant magic sword in the cave and is able to kill the mother with it. The victory is the the hilt of the weapon that killed Grendel's mother. Beowulf is battling for the forces of good because supernatural forces intervene (he can swim many hours under water in the mere, he can make use of the massive giants' sword, his actions in the mere restore the lake to its pristine condition). I believe Grendel's mother's attack on Heorot is justified. When she attacks the warriors, Grendel's mother takes revenge for Grendel's death. She follows the Anglo-Saxon code that says surviving family members of murder victims should take revenge for their family members' deaths.

Hope this helps:)

Read the passage from “The Caged Bird.” The caged bird sings with fearful trill of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. What concept from the poem does author Maya Angelou also address in “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings”?

Angelou contrasts fear with discrimination.
Angelou contrasts being caged with being poor.
Angelou equates using one’s voice with freedom.
Angelou equates facing the unknown with happiness.

Answers

Answer:

C

Explanation:

When Angelou writes in the poem about the bird singing even though it's caged, she implies that even when your body is imprisoned, your voice is still free.

In the poem, Maya Angelou talks about the lack of freedom that the bird experiences. This makes him unable to sing. In this poem,

Angelou equates using one’s voice with freedom.

The caged bird which was in some sort of captivity was unable to sing with confidence. The bird had elements of fear that hindered his ability to sing freely.

In using this comparison, Maya Angelou compared the voice to freedom.

Thinking back to that presentation in the library makes me smile. What started out as three high school boys skipping class turned out to be the most significant event in our lives. If we had made it to the gym that day instead of the library, more than likely the streets would have swallowed us in the next few years. We never would have become doctors. Every­thing we needed to start on the road to success was included in one forty-five-minute presentation. And we almost missed it.

This was the first time that a path to my dreams was shown to me. Deep inside, I knew I could accomplish anything if given the chance. I just didn't know how to find that opportunity. That presentation showed me the possibility of reaching goals I had only dared to dream about. I think if a person dreams hard enough, sometimes a door will open to make that dream come true. Of course, it helps to be prepared to go through the door when the opportunity arises. We almost missed it.

We also had no idea that day that we were forming a pact that would last a lifetime. We just knew that somehow each of us individually might fail, but the strength of the three of us together just might be enough to succeed.

Based on the central ideas and details from the passage, write one to three sentences summarizing how the three friends changed and stayed the same after seeing the presentation.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The four rules or rituals put in place by Napoleon that symbolizes the growing "cult of personality" in the story of "Animal Farm," are the following.

1.- Its obsession to have this "god-like" presence to be "worshiped" by all the animals on the farm

2.- The strong leader image it likes to portray, transmitting fear and expecting obedience.

3.- Its tendency to lie or create "little lies" or exaggerating the things it says.

4.- The use of other animals to convey their stories and spread these stories throughout the farm. For example, the way Napoleon uses Squealer to spread its propagandistic ideas.

What tone toward the migrant workers does this description support?

Answers

Answer:The growing pace of economic globalization has created more migrant workers than ever before. Unemployment and increasing poverty have prompted many workers in developing countries to seek work elsewhere. It is estimated that 73 per cent of migrants are workers. In industrialized countries, demand for labour, especially unskilled labour, has increased. As a result, millions of workers and their families travel to countries other than their own to find work. Considerable efforts have been made over recent years to obtain reliable and comparable data on labour migration. However, as noted by the ILO and the international community, there remain significant gaps. In response, the ILO has published global and regional estimates of migrant workers. According to these estimates, there are at present approximately 244 million migrants around the world, representing 3.3 per cent of the global population. Women make up almost half of migrants. (Note 1) Migrant workers contribute to the economies of their host countries, and the remittances they send home help to boost the economies of their countries of origin. Yet, migrant workers often benefit from inadequate social protection and are vulnerable to exploitation and human trafficking. Skilled migrant workers are less vulnerable to exploitation, but their departure deprives some developing countries of the valuable labour needed for their own economies. ILO standards on migration provide tools for both countries of origin and of destination to manage migration flows and ensure adequate protection for this vulnerable category of workers.

Explanation:

Adjectives are words we use to modify (describe) nouns. Adverbs are words we use to modify verbs, adjectives, and other adverbs. From both of these parts of speech, we can create forms called comparative and superlative.

The comparative is a form used to compare two entities (or groups of entities), and the superlative is a form used to compare three or more entities and express that something has a quality or performs an action to the greatest or least degree.

Read the passage from chapter 2 of Animal Farm.

The pigs had an even harder struggle to counteract the lies put about by Moses, the tame raven. Moses, who was Mr. Jones's especial pet, was a spy and a tale-bearer, but he was also a clever talker. He claimed to know of the existence of a mysterious country called Sugarcandy Mountain, to which all animals went when they died. It was situated somewhere up in the sky, a little distance beyond the clouds, Moses said. In Sugarcandy Mountain it was Sunday seven days a week, clover was in season all the year round, and lump sugar and linseed cake grew on the hedges. The animals hated Moses because he told tales and did no work, but some of them believed in Sugarcandy Mountain, and the pigs had to argue very hard to persuade them that there was no such place.

Which prediction does this passage best support?

Moses and his stories will complicate the pigs’ control over the other animals.
The pigs will adopt Moses’s ideas and promote them on Animal Farm.
Moses will die and end up on Sugarcandy Mountain, thus proving its existence.
