Why is king hrothgar a flat character in Beowulf

Answers

Flat character is a term used to describe characters that doesn't change throughout the story, and that are not complicated; flat character is the opposite of round character (a complex character that changes over time).

King Hrothgar in the epic story Beowulf, is considered a flat character because when the story is being told, he is an old King. Hrothgar has already lived and reached maturity so he doesn't change or develop and he is not complicated, the only thing complicated about King Hrothgar is that he doesn't have a successor ready to take the throne (and that complication is not directly related to the character's attributes).

4) Explain what is revealed in the chapter during the following segment: Taking a white card from his wallet he waved it before the man’s eyes. ‘Right you are,’ agreed the policeman, tipping his cap. ‘Know you next time, Mr. Gatsby. Excuse ME!’ Provide quoted evidence and page numbers from the text to support your conclusion[s].

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

NOTE: I will use the page number from the book I own. Change it if it does not match the page in your book.

"The Great Gatsby" is a novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald whose themes concern the degradation of the American dream and society. In chapter 4, the narrator, Nick, is riding in Gatsby's car with Gatsby himself. Up to this point in the story, very little is known about Gatsby. He is this mysterious millionaire who seems to have taken a sudden interest in Nick.

While driving - and speeding -, Gatsby is tagged along by a policeman. He shows the policeman a white card that immediately releases him from having any kind of trouble. Nick asks him what it was, to which he gets the following answer:

‘I was able to do the commissioner a favor once, and he  sends me a Christmas card every year.' (page 74)

That interaction already reveals a lot about Gatsby. We know he is somehow influential. The Christmas card he showed the policeman is enough to keep him from getting a speed ticket, and probably would keep him from having any trouble with the police whatsoever. Even though we do not know what the favor was, Gatsby is obviously relying on it to get away with wrongdoings, which leads us to think it was likely something shady.

What is the metaphor in Poison by Roald Dahl

Answers

The story from the starting was depicted as another plot but in the end, the plot has been changed this was a major metaphor that was used in poison by Roald Dahl.

What is a metaphor?

A metaphor is a creative way to describe something by specifically comparing it to another thing that is like it yet different from it. A metaphor is a linguistic construct that, in order to further an agenda, addresses one subject while also addressing another. It could provide clarification or point up links between two seemingly unrelated ideas.

When the person is reading he is assuming that the biggest battle is happening involving the men as well as the krait upon Harry's tummy the entire night you're watching it. However, it isn't until the last words do you discover Dahl's true meaning, which is racial discrimination.

he entire time you're reading it, you think that the main conflict is between the men and the krait on Harry's stomach. It's only in the last few paragraphs, though, that you realize that Dahl's real point is about racism.
