someone asked the same question so this is being quoted by

Explanation:

Beowulf follows a strict code of morals fighting for fame and glory he is described as brave daring and bold. He inspired his men and lead them without fear. His choices were always made to keep his men as safe as he could wile still completing his task. this is a great model for leadership in our times as many fail to lead with justness as Beowulf did. He made fair decisions and always looked out for his fellow warriors.

His skills however dont translate into today's modern times as beowulfs tales speak of evil monsters, terrifying creatures and dark places all over the world. His job in this epic poem is to rid the world of its most dangerous demons monsters and creatures weather they lurk in the sea, sky, or deep underground and he does this for payment but mostly for glory as in the times this poem is based to kill a beast of such stature was an instant way to be remembered and that is what many including Beowulf searched for to be remembered to have songs sung in his name and for people to remember his skill and power.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

racism is the belief in the superiority of one race over another, which often results in discrimination and prejudice towards people based on their race or ethnicity. the use of the term "racism" does not easily fall under a single definition.

Time is not always change. time can also mean continuity, and it can mean keeping acknowledged truths in mind despite differences in circumstances.there is no better example of this in things fall apart than the retellings of the proverb about the bird named eneke, the language in both retellings is almost identical despite the length of time that has passed between their repetitions. in comparing the usages of the same proverb, achebe allows his readers to note the similarities and differences between the situations, and he them understand how this story can be applied to their own lives.

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
