Based on Raffel's introduction, what aspects of the poem do you think led to
his lifelong interest in Beowulf?

Answer:

Raffel's Introduction of Beowulf

The aspects of the poem that led to Raffel's lifelong interest in Beowulf include the following:

1) The story was legendary, and in the words of Raffel: "larger than life."

2) Beowulf exercised magical qualities, which were also exemplified in his name, which means a combination of Bear and Wolf.

3) Beowulf exercised heroic and social motives that tantamount to self-sacrifice for the other person.  Like Jesus Christ, Beowulf died for others.

4) Beowulf exemplified the virtues of a warrior king or a servant-leader, unlike our modern experiences where leaders are lords who demand worship.

Explanation:

The above aspects of Beowulf caused Raffel to introduce this poem by entitling it "A legendary Tale, Larger than Life." Late Burton Nathan Raffel was an American writer and professor, and also a renowned translator and poet.  He made the translation of Beowulf, the English epic poem, now widely used in universities, colleges, and high schools.  Beowulf historically explored the characteristics of the Anglo-Saxons.

THE MATCH

There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it took men thousands of years to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.

Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature—by a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.

In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

What was the main problem with relying on nature to start a flame? (5 points)


A). Fire could only be collected with "sticks of wood" that were hard to find.

B). Fire had to be "carefully guarded," requiring someone to stay behind from hunting.

C). Fire had to be "carried to the home," which could be dangerous and awkward.

D). Fire was likely hard to find, requiring a "long journey and a deal of trouble."

3. Select two options below that support the idea that fear should be viewed as a form of
creative storytelling (RI.1.1)
a. "Even in today's world, their situation would be really dire, but think about how much
worse it would have been then. No one on land had any idea that anything had gone
wrong. No search party was coming to look for these men." (Paragraph 2)
b. "The same incredible imaginations that produced The Origin of Species, Jane Eyre and
The Remembrance of Things Past, also generated intense worries that haunted the
adult lives of Charles Darwin, Charlotte Brontë and Marcel Proust." (Paragraph 4)
c. "Now the last option was the longest, and the most difficult to sail 1,500 miles due south
in hopes of reaching a certain band of winds that could eventually push them toward the
coast of South America." (Paragraph 5)
d. "It's a kind of unintentional storytelling that we are all born knowing how to do. And fears
and storytelling have the same components" (Paragraph 6)
e. "And sometimes, of course, our worst fears do come true. That's one of the things that is
so extraordinary about fear." (Paragraph 9)

Select the paragraph from the article that BEST explains why rising action is an effective writer's tool.


A.Have you ever kept reading well into the night because you just couldn't put a book down? The rising action of a plot refers to the events that provoke or cause conflict, build tension and generate interest. It adds that edge-of-your-seat element that motivates you to keep reading until you reach the story's climax.



B.You can find rising action in many stories, from a complex novel to a simple children's book. Take "The Three Little Pigs" as an example. The rising action in that story takes place as the pigs set out and begin to make their own decisions about building materials for their houses.


C.As you read a novel, pay attention to clues that predict trouble down the road. It could be anything from the appearance of a character who seems shady and untrustworthy, to the description of a clear morning marred by one dark cloud on the horizon. These are examples of foreshadowing, a frequently used tool that signals what is to come in a story.


D.What is the first sign of trouble? Were you a bit unnerved or uneasy when you learned that this innocent child would walk through the dangerous forest alone? What about when the wolf appears to speak with Red Riding Hood?
