Cuál es la pregunta

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

Compare and contrast the lyric poetry of the Anglo-Saxon period to the Renaissance. What evidence from Elegy Written in a Country Courtyard supports Gray's classification as a pre-romantic? The purpose of Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales is to present the entire spectrum of human personalities by showing their qualities, flaws, and eccentricities. How does the author accomplish this feat? What attitude toward humankind emerges from this narrative poem?

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

I have the same problem. Do you want to try to work on it together?

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

Sure! That'd would be great! I didn't get the canterbury tales or the elegy written in the church court yard. It didn't make sense to me. @SnowWhite007

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

So, what do you know about this essay so far. Which one do you want to work on first. :)

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

I was working on A, and I've got that down, and I'll send it to you, but you'll have to rewrite it, but for the first question,I got this from yahoo answers. Constantly in Beowulf characters say how young men must make a name for themselves and be great warriors but they must be generous with those around them. They have to be generous and good to the people around them so that in old age they can stop fighting and be taken care of. They start talking about this when Beowulf first meets the king. Beowulf didn't adhere to the beliefs of his culture which causes his death. He should of been taken care if instead he went into the fight against the dragon I would pay attention to the discussion about Beowulf's father and his Reputation, Beowulf and the King, and Beowulf as the old king and still willing warrior.

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

What is a? Question 46 or 47?

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

Thats the wrong one for the first. Based on the sections I would say that Anglo-Saxon poetry seems deal with directly handling the human condition as opposed to Renaissance poems which explore the creative and experimental side of human nature through more abstract ideas like nostalgia, imagination and emotion. A is the one I was doing for the last one, 47. The one above is for 45

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

I mean 46

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

Okay. So we have the same questions. That's cool. :) Okay so the one above is the Anglo-Saxon one, correct?

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

Yes, number 46.

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

Thanks. ^.^ So the one with Thomas Gray your having trouble with? #47?

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

Just a little. I'm not really sure since I didn't understand the poem.

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

And who is your teacher?

OpenStudy (snowwhite007):

This helped me. On sec, I'll send it so you and parts 21-24 is where I found that stated that he was a pre-Romantic writer. It the poem written in English.

OpenStudy (unique_am_i):

I still don't get it. I don't have a poetic mind, I'm more, give me what actually is happening. I can tell he's preromantic by the way he was concerned about the common people, but it needs to be a paragraph and thats all I got.
