the battle with grendel
1. what is the predominant poetic device used in this poem and to what effect? why would the beowulf poet
employ a device like this so noticeably?
2. what is the function of herot?
3. why is grendel appalled by the activities going on in herot?
4. who or what is grendel? why does he live isolated in the marshes? what is the symbolism behind his
isolation?

the words "strangest" and "unusual" suggest (:

hm, switch the relative; nominative and indefinite; objective ? not too bright in the knowledge of the english.

everyman: morality play

which phrase in this excerpt from the play everyman refers to god's judgment of people's souls after their death?

messenger: . .

ye think sin in the beginning full sweet,

which in( the end) causeth thy soul to weep,

when the body lieth in clay.

here shall you see how fellowship and jollity,

both strength, pleasure, and beauty,

will fade from thee as flower in may.

for ye shall hear, how our heavenly king

calleth everyman to a (general reckoning):

give audience, and hear what he doth say.

god: i perceive here in my majesty,

how that all the creatures be to me unkind,

living without dread in worldly prosperity:

of (ghostly sight) the people be so blind,

drowned in sin, they know me not for their god;

in worldly riches is all their mind,

they fear not( my righteousness), the sharp rod;

(my law that i shewed), when i for them die

hopefully this !
