Read these lines from beowulf. he realized that the demon was going to descend on the hall, that he had plotted all day, from dawn-light until darkness gathered again over the world and stealthy night-shapes came stealing forth under the cloud-murk. read this excerpt from grendel. thus i fled, ridiculous hairy creature torn apart by poetry—crawling, whimpering, streaming tears, across the world like a two-headed beast, like mixed-up lamb and kid at the tail of a baffled, indifferent ewe—and i gnashed my teeth and clutched the sides of my head as if to heal the split, but i couldn’t. which statement best compares the two excerpts? grendel is described as an unfeeling creature in beowulf, but he is a sensitive and emotional character in grendel. grendel seems comical and ridiculous in beowulf, but he seems calm and calculating in grendel. beowulf acts cowardly in beowulf, but he behaves like a fearless hero in grendel. beowulf feels sympathy for grendel in beowulf, but he is jealous of grendel in grendel.

Buckminster boy. she glared at him. "lizzie, i swear to you, as sure as i'm standing right here—that's a lie. every bit of it. every single bit." "my granddaddy said it was a lie, too." she leaned her head to one side and looked at him steadily. "so why haven't you been down to the island? " "so only you get to ask questions now? " "yes." she waited. "i haven't been down to the island because my father believes that you were using me to you stay on malaga island." "well," she said slowly. "well." "i didn't believe it, either." the sea breeze lay at their feet panting, hoping they would play with it again. based on what turner and lizzie say, which is the best conclusion that can be drawn? they are angered by the lies the adults have been spreading. neither of them is able to fully trust what the other is claiming. each trusts the other and cares a great deal about their friendship. both are worried about the troubles their friendship may bring.
