In a paragraph of eight to ten sentences, making sure to include evidence from the poem to support your ideas, compare and contrast the characteristics of monsters and heroes in Grendel and Beowulf.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: There are several things that distinguish heroes from monsters, especially in classical literature. Heroes and monsters are very highly contrasted through the dichotomy of good and evil. Heroes are often wholly good; monsters are often wholly evil. Being "good" entails protecting the wellbeing of others, and being "evil" means causing destruction and harm to others. They are also very starkly different in their physical appearance and personal attributes. Heroes, especially Beowulf, are bold, strong, physically fit, usually handsome, brave, wise, etc. Monsters are usually grotesque, horrifying, oversized, etc. Hope this helps.

Which two traits can you infer about Mira in this excerpt from “Games at Twilight” by Anita Desai?. The children, too, felt released. They too began tumbling, shoving, pushing against each other, frantic to start. Start what? Start their business. The business of the children’s day which is—play.

“You’re the eldest——”
“That doesn’t mean——”
The shoves became harder. Some kicked out. The motherly Mira intervened. She pulled the boys roughly apart. There was a tearing sound of cloth, but it was lost in the heavy panting and angry grumbling, and no one paid attention to the small sleeve hanging loosely off a shoulder.
“Make a circle, make a circle!” she shouted, firmly pulling and pushing till a kind of vague circle was formed. “Now clap!” she roared, and, clapping, they all chanted in melancholy unison: “Dip, dip, dip—my blue ship——” and every now and then one or the other saw he was safe by the way his hands fell at the crucial moment—palm on palm, or back of hand on palm—and dropped out of the circle with a yell and a jump of relief and jubilation.
