The assignment for this lesson is to compose a one-paragraph persuasive message board post about Grendel. Your post will respond to another argument that you disagree with. You'll use evidence from Grendel to craft a fair and well-supported rebuttal. Then you'll complete two other short responses to your classmates' posts.

You should have created a draft of this assignment in the writing activity called "Prepare a Message Board Post." If you didn't complete that activity, you should go back and do so now. If you have already completed the draft, continue to the next page to start revising.

This writing assignment focuses on the following skills:
Establishing a debatable and straightforward claim
Gathering relevant evidence to support a claim
Fairly and effectively refuting a counterclaim
Using technology to participate in online debate

Answer 1

Scenario 1:

Writing from Grendel's perspective makes him seem more monstrous. Even though we get to see the story from his perspective, he has a very narrow range of emotions. He is unable to relate to the actual humans in the book, showing that he is fundamentally different from them. Beowulf and the other warriors are typical humans, and Grendel is a one-dimensional monster. The lack of common ground between these two kinds of characters makes the division between them very obvious. Therefore, it's difficult to find sympathy for Grendel as you would for another human.

Scenario 2:

In writing from Grendel's perspective, Gardner tries to make Grendel seem more monstrous by showing us his dark, inhuman nature. You see that Grendel is thoughtful — he knows what he is doing will cause pain, but he does it anyway. This is the true definition of a monster, knowing you'll hurt someone and doing it anyway. Gardner shows us that Grendel takes great pleasure in the misery and destruction he causes.

Scenario 3:

Writing from Grendel's perspective makes him seem more sympathetic, because it allows us to get a sense of his self-image. Grendel sees himself as a monster because he's subjected to insults by humans. This makes you feel bad for him, because he seems like a human who has trouble fitting in, maybe even someone with self-image or self-worth problems. We feel sympathy for him because much of his monstrous behavior is actually caused by humans' treatment of him, such as calling him a fungus. Seeing this scene from Grendel's perspective instead of from the men's perspective makes us sympathize with Grendel. He's believed to be disgusting and dangerous just because of how he looks.

Scenario 4:

Writing from Grendel's perspective makes him seem more sympathetic, because you're able to see that he has feelings and thoughts. Therefore, the suffering he endures at the hands of Beowulf makes you feel bad that he's so alone. For example, he bellows for his mother when he is scared, he physically suffers in his fight with Beowulf, and he dies with no one to comfort him. If we were seeing this from the men's perspective, we'd also be afraid of Grendel and see him as monstrous, but seeing the scenes from his perspective makes us realize that he's not angry or monstrous at these points; he's just scared.

explain absence makes heart grow fonder

Answers

The proverb “absence makes the heart grow fonder” describes the feeling of greater affection between friends and lovers who are kept apart. It is a phrase that, in on one form or another, can be traced back for millennia—the Roman poet Sextus is credited with the earliest version of the phrase.

It means that when a person is absent for a longer period, you wish meeting him or her very much. ... You realize how much you love that person, and the desire to see them often increases.

The author characterizes the Athenians as "the citizens of one out of a thousand cities" (paragraph 5) in order to convey which of the following?
Although ancient Greece had many cities, an unusual number of prominent artists lived in Athens.
Given its relatively small size, Athens should not be considered overly influential.
The policies of many Greek cities during the classical era should be considered by those who wish to defend the Greeks as an artistic people.
While Athenians might be famous for certain attitudes toward the arts, this attitude should not be thought of as unique to the citizens of that one city.
E
Even if the Athenians were shown to be an artistic people, that designation should not be extended to all peoples of ancient Greece.

Answers

Answer: E.) Even if the Athenians were shown to be an artistic people, that designation should not be extended to all peoples of ancient Greece.

Explanation: The author emphasizes that Athens was just one among many ancient Greek cities in order to dismiss the idea that the Athenians’ reputation as an artistic people should be extended to “the Greeks” in general. By modifying “Athenians” with this phrase, the author is able to limit the scope of his argument: since he presents the Athenians as the only possible candidate for an “artistic people” in ancient Greece, he can focus solely on analyzing the Athenians without having to consider people from other Greek cities.

Answer:

Guys it's E. Even if the Athenians were shown to be an artistic people, that designation should not be extended to all peoples of ancient Greece.

MARCELLUS: "We do it wrong, being so majestical,
To offer it the show of violence,
For it is as the air, invulnerable,
And our vain blows malicious mockery."

The word invulnerable comes from the Latin word vulnerare, meaning "to wound." Based on the meaning of the root word, this paragraph implies that Marcellus thinks that —

A. violence against others should be avoided.

B. violence against one's peers should be avoided.

C. violence against the Ghost would be punished.

D. violence against the Ghost would be useless.

Answers

Answer:

D. violence against the Ghost would be useless.

If vulnerare means to wound, then invulnerable means something like not to wound. Marcellus says: "For it is as the air invulnerable."

That means the ghost is like air. You can't hurt air, you can't wound it. So if the ghost is like air, it also cannot be wounded. Trying to hurt the ghost would be useless, because it cannot be hurt. That's why the answer is d.

The name of Dr. Chasuble.

Answers

Answer:

His own name along with his father's.

Explanation:

Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Ernest" follows the comical romance of Jack "Ernest" Worthing and Algernon. The story deals with themes of class, society, belonging, morality, marriage, love, etc.

After Jack had proposed to Gwendolen, and Algernon had also proposed to Cecily, the two men were embroiled in a 'fight' to get the name "Ernest" as this was the name they had given to their respective fiancées. After they had gone over and rediscovered that they were actually long-lost, misplaced brothers, they decided to find out their father's Christian name.

Referring to the Army List, Jack discovered that their father's name was the same as his own- "Ernest".

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.

Answers

Answer: He loves me. I once thought I would be able to love, perhaps if I moved in with him. I cannot return his love. For this reason, it is very complicated. I am disturbed by my inability to return his love. I am driven to insanity.

Explanation:

Diego, as charming as they come. And if you weren't convinced by the way he strides, the confident but light, jovial tone in his voice, he'll catch your breath by a flash of his adorable dimples.

No charm, levity, marks his features now. Instead he is pained, confused. His hair is a tousled chaos, a charcoaled maroon. He holds himself, not by striding, but in a broken manner. He is lost.

I am the reason.

It always ends this way. Insanity is expecting the outcome to be different, when you know how the finale's script reads.

I am a broken plate. I used to be whole. I believed in love.

I was passed around. Each time I was discarded of, stains of my self image were left. Eventually no one wanted I, the stained, chipped plate. Upon realizing this I let myself shatter. I fell to the floor.

No longer, do I believe in love.

Oh, but I was so hopeful. See, to feel, to love, is to be human.

If I do not, then I have no soul, no humanity.

I do not. Therefore, I have no soul no humanity.

As I do not have soul, nor humanity, I am better off dead.

This is where the insanity starts, how it festers in my mind. I become a slave to it. It works at me until I have no will. Back broken, I am tired. I am destroyed.

See, I needed to give it one last try. I knew him, Diego, a soul of vitality and warmth. I needed to know if warmth could be spread into my darkness.

I put on my mask of emotions. We went on dates, I played my part well, mask never slipping.

Time passed, he told me he loved me. I truly felt nothing, but with my mask, I felt everything.

I must leave him.

My humanity has left me.

I must leave the world.
