All of the translated versions listed are excerpts from the same part of the poem – the entrance of Grendel. What does Raffel say about Grendel? How is he described in the poem? Has Grendel visited before? Explain. The last line of each translation alludes to an upcoming event. What is it? What have you learned about the challenges facing translators of text? Do these versions seem similar or different? Why/how? Do the versions still seem poetic?

for me, i'd go with (c) satisfied or (b) overjoyed because if you read it a couple of times, it makes since that it is c or b. it can't b (a) angry because booker was never angry about anything. at the end of the paragraph, booker states, "i think there are not many men in our country who have had the privilege of naming themselves in the way that i " i think that sentence kind of gives away the also, some words in the paragraph can also you like for example, "indulged," "calmly," "perplexity," "privilege," and defining words that you don't know, can you understand more of that paragraph and it can also increase your comprehension. : )
