How was unwed pregnancy perceived at the turn of the century as opposed to today? What future would Grace Brown have faced as an unwed mother? How did she feel about this fate, based on her letters?

Answers

Answer 1

At the turn of the century, unwed pregnancy was seen as a scandal, something unacceptable in society and that made both the mother and the child despised by everyone and even by the family itself. Currently, unwed pregnancy is seen with less hostility.

As a single mother, Grace would have faced a very difficult future. She could be rejected by the family, be frowned upon in society and not be able to support herself and her son anymore, because in a factory she would hire a single mother.

By reading the letters, we can see that Grace was very afraid of being a single mother, because she knew it would be very difficult. For this reason, she begged her b0yfriend to assume the child's paternity.

What rhetorical device is used in this stanza and how does it help the reader understand the message?

WILL REPORT IF ANSWERED FOR POINTS!!!!!

Answers

Answer:

Several rhetorical devices are used in this stanza and they include;

1. Personification

2. Metaphor

3. Consonance

Find further explanation below.

Explanation:

Personification: This is attribution of the qualities of humans to inanimate things. Night is exemplified as an animate thing that can cover someone.

Metaphor: This is the comparison of two things that have no similarities but have something in common. In this first sentence, night is likened to hardship. Just as bad and unforeseen things happen during the night, so does hardship come with uncertainties.

Consonance: This is the repetition of the initial consonant sounds in a group of words. The repetition of the p sound exemplifies this- pit from pole to  pole.

6 Rewrite the sentences keeping the meaning the same. Use two to five words including the word in brackets.

Why is Grendel such a formidable opponent? What is happening to the people trying to help Beowulf? What is happening to their weapons? (30 words)

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

Grendel is a formidable opponent, because he is basically invincible. Grendel is large, violent, strong, powerful, with little rationality and indestructible and immune to weapons attack. This makes him a very difficult opponent to be defeated, allowing whoever manages to stop him to be a man of great power and honor. People who try to help Beowulf are completely shattered by Grendel and the weapons are useless because Grendel's skin is not harmed by them, but the weapons are completely harmed by Grendel. Grendel represents complete evil and his defeat is very significant, because it shows that no matter how invincible evil is, good always wins.

Question 16 Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)
(LC)
From The Adventures of Tom Sawyer by Mark Twain
Then her conscience reproached her, and she yearned to say something kind and loving, but she
judged that this would be construed into a confession that she had been in the wrong, and discipline
forbade that. So she kept silence, and went about her affairs with a troubled heart. Tom sulked in a
corner and exalted his woes. He knew that in her heart his aunt was on her knees to him, and he was
morosely gratified by the consciousness of it. He would hang out no signals, he would take notice of
none. He knew that a yearning glance fell upon him, now and then, through a film of tears, but he
refused recognition of it. He pictured himselflying sick unto death and his aunt bending over him
beseeching one little forgiving word, but he would turn his face to the wall, and die with that word
unsaid. Ah, how would she feel then? And he pictured himself brought home from the river, dead, with
his curis all wet, and his sore heart at rest. How she would throw herself upon him, and how her tears
would fall like rain, and her lips pray God to give her back her boy and she would never, never abuse
him any more! But he would lie there cold and white and make no sign-a poor little sufferer, whose
griefs were at an end. He so worked upon his feelings with the pathos of these dreams, that he had to
keep swallowing, he was so like to choke; and his eyes swam in a blur of water, which overflowed when
he winked, and ran down and trickled from the end of his nose. And such a luxury to him was this
petting of his sorrows, that he could not bear to have any worldly cheeriness or any grating delight
intrude upon it, it was too sacred for such contact, and so, presently, when his cousin Mary danced in,
all alive with the joy of seeing home again after an age-long visit of one week to the country, he got up
and moved in clouds and darkness out at one door as she brought song and sunshine in at the other.
Read these lines from the excerpt again:
How she would throw herself upon him, and how her tears would fall like rain, and her lips pray God to
give her back her boy and she would never, never abuse him any more! But he would lie there cold and
white and make no sign--a poor little sufferer, whose griefs were at an end.
Based on the information provided in these lines from the excerpt, which of these words best describes
how Tom's aunt feels?
O Motivated
Remorseful
Embarrassed
O Forgiving

Answers

Answer:

Remorseful

Explanation:

Judging by the signs she was displaying, the aunt is feeling remorseful towards the little boy but couldn't bring herself to apologize to him. That would only prove she was wrong, but her actions suggested she felt guilty for what she did and wished she could undo them. The boy knew how his aunt is feeling and believed that if he were to be severely hurt or dead, she would do away with her pride

Given the quote and the art piece we just viewed, what kind of character do you predict King Arthur to be, and why?

"The memory of King Arthur, that most renowned King of the Britons, will enduure for ever..."

Answers

Answer:

Although King Arthur is one of the most well-known figures in the world, his true identity remains a mystery. Attempts to identify the historical Arthur have been unsuccessful, since he is largely a product of fiction. Most historians, though, agree that the real Arthur was probably a battle leader of the Britons against the Anglo-Saxons in the sixthth century. In literature, King Arthur's character is  unique and ever changing, taking on a different face in every work. There is never a clearly definitive picture that identifies Arthur's character. It is therefore necessary to look at a few different sources to get better insight into the character of Arthur, the once and future king.

Answers

Answer:

Shrugs.

Explanation:

The word shrugs describes the person's body language, which coincides with what she says, creating a resigned tone. If her expression, would have been different, for example, a smiling face while she talks, the tone would not have been of resignation. With that gesture, we can see that she has accepted the way things are and sounds defeated.
