At times I would try to befriend the exile, at other times I would try to ignore him, but they were treacherous. In the end, I had to eat them. How is Grendel characterized in this excerpt?

Answers

Answer:

Grendel is characterized as someone lonely and not tolerant.

Explanation:

The above excerpt shows how Grendel missed company and was a lonely creature. For this reason, he watched the human race, looking at those who were exiled for being the outcasts of society, that is, people who were no longer welcome and were expelled from the social cycle. However Grendel wishes to make friends with them to have a company, however the human being was treacherous and always betrayed Grendel, which made him try to ignore them, but they remained treacherous. In this case, he did not tolerate human beings and ended up eating them to protect himself.

After reading and analyzing the characterization in the excerpt, we can say that Grendel is characterized as the following:

D. Practical

What is characterization?

Characterization takes place when the author reveals a character's personality traits or even physical appearance to readers. Characterization can be direct (through adjectives) or indirect (through characters' words, thoughts, and behaviors).

In the excerpt, the monster Grendel is indirectly characterized as practical. He does what he has to do. He does not eat the exiled men out of sheer evil, but simply because it was the best thing for him to do. He could not trust those men - they would most likely hurt him.

The missing answer choices for this question are:

A. jealous

B. compassionate

C. lonely

Answer:

Letter to uncle about his daughter's pregnancy and pacifying him from sending her out of the house.

Explanation:

ABC Apartments

Greenville Avenue

New Jersey

10 May 2007

My dear uncle,

It is with extreme understanding and caution that I have decided to write to you despite the circumstances. But I request that you please read through the letter.

I know it was a shock and even painful for you. But there is no good in punishing her after all, it's already past. So, we can only think of what is to be done in the present. And I hope you help my cousin feel better.

Anyway, you are the family that she would expect the most care and love from. So, there is no point in getting angry with her. Instead, be patient with her and be there for her. Be her support system when everyone will be criticizing her. If you help her and support her at these times, she will also learn firsthand about being a parent, and will be a good life lesson for her.

This is you helping raise another human being, so the baby must know love and care, instead of being greeted by a torn family. Moreover, peace is better than anything else for a family.

But if you threaten and throw her out of the house, not only will she face humiliation from others but will also be detrimental for the baby and her. She will be devastated, not having any support especially from the family she most expects understanding and love from. What's done is done and there is nothing we can do to turn it back. But what we can do is to accept it and move on, to make it a better and peaceful world for the baby and mother to grow up in.

So, uncle, I would like to request you to please rethink your rash decision and see things from her perspective. And I hope she will learn a good lesson from your actions and that everything will have a positive outcome.

I will visit you as soon as I can. So, till then, take good care of each other and be considerate of one another.

With lots of love and care,

Brianna.

1)Didion refers to the migraines of her early years as a "shameful secret." "Migraine headaches," she writes, "were, as everyone who did not have them knew, imaginary." Why would she be ashamed of migraines? (ACES form).

2) To what extent are Didion's migraines her "fault"?

Migraine has physiological and chemical origins but manifests in reaction to psychological stimuli and quirks of personality. How does this make it different from cancer, the flu?)

 

3)What is the silver lining, benefit of a migraine?​

Answer:

1) Because most people don´t understand them, they are usually underestimated and those who suffer from them are stigmatized as too sensitive or not trying enough to make them go away.

Explanation:

2) According to her doctor, in addition to an inherited predisposition, there is such a thing as a "migraine personality," meaning personal characteristics that further predisposition some people to suffer migraines. In that sense, the author feels as it´s partially her fault because her personality becomes an element that she could supposedly change to lessen her migraines. This would not be possible with "real" diseases such as cancer, or the flu.

3) The moments of distress help her to "count my blessings" when the pain goes away. She finds it useful, like a forced meditation through the pain that leaves her relaxed afterward.

Answer:

A narrative describes events in sequence.

Explanation:

A "narrative" is both written and oral account of a person's experience or fictitious happenings and the like. It follows a specific sequence of events that are related to each other. It is also known as "storytelling." This makes choice A correct.

A narrative also tells a conflict of a story, so this makes the 2nd choice incorrect. It is not only about fictional accounts. It may also be related to true happenings in one's life, so this makes the 3rd choice incorrect. A narrative is not only presented in written form. It can also be spoken or presented by images, so this makes the last choice incorrect.

 If you happen to deal with people whose beliefs are different from you, how are you going to explain yourself to them without being rude and without falling into logical fallacies? What will be your strategy? ​

Answers

I think everyone has there own opinion to certain things so try and approach it nicely and not so forced. Also let them say their beliefs if wanted and don’t interrupt until they finish so u can show respect

There are many ways one can approach conflict. • Decisions regarding conflict are based on the importance of issues and/or relationships. • The way in which one handles conflict will directly affect the effectiveness of the conflict’s outcome.



How comfortable are you with the conflict?

Conflict Styles: How people respond to conflict.

* Avoiding--Issue and relationship both are insignificant.

• Accommodating--Relationship is more important than the issue.

• Forcing--The issue is more important than the relationship.

• Compromising--Cooperation is important (give a little, get a little).

• Collaborating--Relationship and issue are both important (takes more time)

When analyzing your conflict style in a particular situation, ask the following questions: • How is this conflict style working for you? • What are your needs, and are they being met? • What outcome could using this conflict style lead to? • Are you satisfied with the outcome of this conflict style? • Are there situations in which you change your conflict style? • Are conflict styles situational? • What would it take for you to change your conflict style? • How would using a new style affect the outcome?

Answer:

When handled effectively, conflict carries with it opportunity: Better Relationships: Conflict is a signal that changes might be necessary in the relationships or the situation so conflict management can build relationships. ... Conflict stimulates problem-solving and open communication to arrive at better solutions.  These approaches include:

Avoiding. Someone who uses a strategy of "avoiding" mostly tries to ignore or sidestep the conflict, hoping it will resolve itself or dissipate.

Accommodating. ...

Compromising. ...

Competing. ...

Collaborating.

Clarify what the disagreement is.

Establish a common goal for both parties.

Discuss ways to meet the common goal.

Determine the barriers to the common goal.

Agree on the best way to resolve the conflict.

Acknowledge the agreed solution and determine the responsibilities each party has in the resolution.
