Just correcting the spelling:

What did Hrothgar offer as recompense for Beowulf’s heroism in offering to help rid the west Danes of Grendel?

Answer:

Hrothgar offered Beowulf the bond of kinship and treasures.

Explanation:

"Beowulf" is one of the most famous epic poems of all time. It takes the name of its main character, the hero Beowulf, who fights and defeats three monsters: Grendel, Grendel's mother, and a dragon. Beowulf is "hired" by king Hrothgar to get rid of those monsters, and is offered an incredible reward.

Once Beowulf has killed Grendel and his mother, he is rewarded with the bond of kinship, a sword, an embroidered banner, breast-mail, and an adorned helmet. Hrothgar also gives Beowulf eight horses with gold bridles, and gives his men treasures and gold.

Lens Quotation: "Character is what you are in the dark." -Dwight Lyman Moody

Answers

Answer:

Like many Hobbits, Bilbo Baggins does not like adventures, as it is not in their "nature." But Gandalf comes by to prove otherwise. During the novel, Bilbo is recruited by Gandalf to help a pack of Dwarves reclaim their lost home. When Bilbo accepted this journey, we are already seeing Bilbo's true colors coming through. Bilbo scurries along to meet the rest of his party as the entirety of Bag End shuns him. A great example of Bilbo's character in the dark is when he is literally in the dark. His quick thoughts are what saves him from being Gollum's next meal when he falls into his cave. Bilbo saved his own life that day because of his witty puzzles and quick actions against Gollum. At heart, Bilbo is an adventurer, just like the Took side of his family. With the help of a couple of new friends, Bilbo was able to show his "true character in the dark" to the world

I need some ideas. I need to write a short story about why people feel ashamed to be part of the LGBTQ+ community for english. Needs to be between 500-1000 words, or just give me idea on how I should start or something. Will mark brainliest.

Answers

Answer:

I cant give you the whole thing but an idea

Explanation:

People are ashamed to be part of the LGBTQ+ community because in some countries its against the law, its against some religions for example Christianity. Some people don't have accepting family and might be kicked out of the house for being part of the LGBTQ+ community

Answer:

fear of rejection, internalized homo/transphobia, and illegalization of homosexuality/transgenderism in certain countries are all good talking points

Explanation:

i'm sure that the third point is kind of obvious; if someone were to be openly lgbtq+ in a state were they aren't legally allowed to be proud, they could be imprisioned or killed.

though it may not be illegal worldwide, that doesn't mean that everyone who lives somewhere where it's legal to be lgbtq+ is accepting. people may be scared of getting rejected upon coming out. this could be losing friendships/romantic partners, getting kicked out by one's family, or becoming ostracized by society.

when one is in an environment that teaches them that it isn't okay to be lgbtq+, they are not going to feel happy with themself upon the realization that they may be gay/trans. they may have been taught at a young age that lgbtq+ people are gross or wrong in someway, making them refuse to accept that not only they are lgbtq+, but that is an okay thing to be.

The Way Society Changed:

Before the law was passed, this would be done constantly to keep possessions they didn't want to trade or to save currency (whatever currency was at the time). After it was passed, people had to start notifying the PPMD about the enslavements so their heads won't get hacked off.

Worthy Principal, Teachers and Students

I'm Priyanka, of class Xl stand before you to speak on an important aspect of the present day life - every home to be connected with computer outlet.

The modern times are essentially of innovative techniques and equipments.If the humans are not aware of their uses and don't use them, they may lag behind others in the human race. One innovative modern facility is like this

Imagine that every house is connected with a computer outlet and it is further connected with enormous libraries and one poses questions and get replies... Such a kind of technological advancement will both be exciting, entertaining and educative. It means that we can ask any questions that we may like humorous, funny, information or the like.This all will mean, you see, that the entire world of knowledge is Or will be at our disposal. In this way science will be of immense use to human activity. We shall all explore every dimension of human activity.We shall all explore every dimension of human life and every field of life.You will agree with me that such a scientific and technological advancement will open up a kind of magicality and marvels. Life will then be most likable, entertaining and enjoyable.

But as George Orwell says such a kind of world will be as good as their technological development allows them to be. It means all this sort of technological advancement is liable to be misused by the humans who have an inclination towards evil. I hope you know it very well that man has a binary nature. If he is good he is evil also. Today's technological advancement in weaponry is a beautiful example of this side of human mind. We are sitting on a volcano of destruction by atom bombs and nuclear warfare.

What we need is to ensure human well-being and welfare. Modern gadgetry should be subservient to human welfare and well-being.
