yes What do these lines from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight reveal about the character of Sir Gawain? That no host under heaven is hardier of will, Nor better brothers-in-arms where battle is joined; I am the weakest, well I know, and of wit feeblest; He is proud. He is modest. He has little patience. He is arrogant. He is weak.
Okay okay, I can do this. Let me think
He is modest
ty Which sentence best explains why modern English reflects the influence of several languages? The early inhabitants of Britain were seafaring traders who traveled to several countries. Between AD 500 and 1200, invaders from several countries conquered parts of Britain. After 1500, the authors and linguists who created English dictionaries borrowed words from several other languages. The best-known authors of the Anglo-Saxon period used a mixture of several languages. There was no written form of the English language until 1200, when writers put together words from several languages to create a lexicon.

What is the meaning of the underlined phrase in this excerpt from Sonnet 126 by William Shakespeare? O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy power Dost hold Time's fickle glass, his sickle, hour; Time is changeable and inconstant. Time and glass are immoral. Time is liable to break like glass. Time, like the glass or mirror, always reflects the truth.

ANTONIO: I must entreat of you some of that money. VIOLA: What money, sir? For the fair kindness you have show'd me here, And, part, being prompted by your present trouble, Out of my lean and low ability I'll lend you something: my having is not much; I'll make division of my present with you: Hold, there's half my coffer. ANTONIO: Will you deny me now? Is't possible that my deserts to you Can lack persuasion? Do not tempt my misery, Lest that it make me so unsound a man As to upbraid you with those kindnesses That I have done for you. VIOLA: I know of none; Nor know I you by voice or any feature: I hate ingratitude more in a man Than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkenness, Or any taint of vice whose strong corruption Inhabits our frail blood. ANTONIO: O heavens themselves! SECOND OFFICER: Come, sir, I pray you, go. ANTONIO: Let me speak a little. This youth that you see here I snatch'd one half out of the jaws of death, Relieved him with such sanctity of love, And to his image, which methought did promise Most venerable worth, did I devotion.

Based on this excerpt from John Milton's Paradise Lost, what was Satan's likely motive for wanting to punish Adam and Eve? Sight hateful, sight tormenting! thus these two Imparadis't in one anothers arms The happier Eden, shall enjoy their fill Of bliss on bliss, while I to Hell am thrust, Where neither joy nor love, but fierce desire, Among our other torments not the least, Still unfulfill'd with pain of longing pines; Yet let me not forget what I have gain'd He envied the love they shared, which he would never experience. He resented them because God was lenient toward Adam and Eve but banished Satan. He was angry with God and wanted to seek revenge by ruining God’s creations. He was furious that God did not love him as he loved the humans Adam and Eve. He felt disrespected because God seemed to value humans more than an angel like himself.
Omg....

Why did Jonathan Swift choose a satirical essay to address the issues of Ireland's poor in "A Modest Proposal"? Satirical works of literature were gaining popularity across Great Britain and other European countries during the eighteenth century. Swift's earlier attempts at non-satirical essays and speeches had failed to elicit a response from the government. Publishing reforms made it difficult to publish essays or articles about poverty unless they were concealed as satire. Swift had been imprisoned in the past for writing essays that directly blamed England for Ireland's sufferings. Readers during the eighteenth century preferred witty and humorous writing over grim and melancholy essays.
