In this passage, we learn that a ramrod was used to load a gun, or to make sure that it was loaded. We can conclude this based on the context of the word in this example.

Therefore, it was used with weapons such as muskets and cannons.

A grandfather is ten times older than his grand daughter. He is also 54 years
older than her. Find their present ages.
Answer: Grandpa: 60 Granddaughter: 6
Explanation: When I first saw this, I noticed you can not get one solid whole number with a number like 54, so I rounded it up to 60, because 10 percent of 60 is 6. It IS possible for someone to be 5.4, but with age, not a lot of people care to go down to the decimal point. I then checked the other part. 60 IS 54 years more than 6, so 60 is correct.
Answer: 5.4 estimated to 5
Explanation: let, the age of grandfather be 54 which is also 10X that of the granddaughters age.
• 10x=54
• x=54/10
• x=5.4 or 5

the headline news. First, protesters interrupted a performance of Julius Caesar because it was politically offensive. Then, a
new television show called Will, a fictionalization of the life and times of young Master Shakespeare has just aired. Finally,
the powerful executive producer, Shonda Rimes, created a television show that continues the story of the feud at the heart of
the play, Romeo and Juliet. The relevance of Shakespeare to the modern audience is clearly not over yet.

My First Day on the Job
I was in full-on panic mode. Here I was on my first day as an inexperienced reporter having to cover an important story with little guidance. I was starting to regret my decision to take the job. What was I doing here? I wasn’t a journalism major. I didn’t have a “beat.” I didn’t even know all the rules about dealing with sources and off-the-record information.
The previous spring, I’d taken up my boss on his offer and stayed at my part-time job through the summer after college. He gave me more hours, so I was making more money, but I didn’t yet have the responsibility of a “real” job. I’d been an English major and wanted to be a writer, though I had no idea what kind of writer. I’d taken the summer to think about things and prepare for a fall job search.
By the time I began the search for my first full-time job, the job market was in bad shape. During my first few months looking for a job, I sent out countless resumes and only had one interview. Unfortunately, I was very unqualified for the job at the time. Then a woman I worked with at my part-time job told me about a reporter position opening up at the newspaper chain where her daughter worked. Though I’d never thought about being a reporter, I figured it couldn’t hurt to go on the interview. In addition to interview experience, the opportunity meant I was officially networking. All the job search materials I’d read stressed the importance of networking in finding a job.
A few days later, I was sitting down with John, one of the executive editors of the newspaper chain, hearing all the daunting details of being a “cub reporter.” Although it sounded intimidating, it was also exciting, and John didn’t seem deterred by the fact that I had no solid experience. He was happy with the few writing samples I’d brought to the interview and offered me the job on the spot. I thought about the opportunity over the weekend and on Monday I let John know I would take the job. There would be a learning curve, but I would also get to write every single day.
Two weeks later, when I arrived for my first day on the job, I discovered that my editor had been called away for a family emergency. I also learned that the state education department had announced that aid typically allocated to school districts in the area would not come through that year. This would be a blow to schools that had relied on funding to keep art, music, and sports programs running.
Since Monday was press day, I needed to do all my reporting and have the story written by the end of the day. John told me that the fastest way to get reactions and comments from everyone involved was to go to the schools and talk directly to the principals, teachers, and parents. No one would be in their offices today. I jotted down the list of people that I should speak to and set out to cover my first story. On my way to the first school, my mind raced. I wasn’t completely sure what I was supposed to be asking besides how the budget cuts would affect each school. As I tried to think of the kind of information that families in the community would want to know, I realized the answer was simple Reporter 101: Who? What? Where? When? Why? and How? If I went back to the office with answers to all of these questions, I would be able to write a complete article.
I made the rounds, hitting elementary, middle, and high schools. As I spoke to the people who ran these schools, I learned so much about what goes into keeping a school’s doors open and all the work that goes into offering students a solid education. It made me think that my new job as a reporter was going to be easy in comparison. By the time I finished up, I’d gotten a crash course in interviewing and had received an interesting range of opinions about the budget cuts. I was already thinking about how I would open the story when I got back to the office. My last step before writing was to get comments from the governor’s office and do some research on past years when state aid was in jeopardy.
The next day I saw my very first news story in print. My editor was happy with it when he returned, and over the next few months, I learned a great deal from him about how to cover a story well, how to handle my sources, and how to make a boring story seem interesting. Fortunately, after fine-tuning the state budget, the governor’s office was able to reinstate the aid money for area school districts. And thanks to my first story, I’d already met most of the school administrators in person and had the beginnings of an actual list of sources for future stories.

In Edgar Allan Poe's, "The Tell Tale Heart," the narrator is considered by many to be mentally ill, with some even saying he is insane. In the case of Hemy Neuman, his defense team claims he is innocent based on the grounds of insanity. Should our justice system take a person's mental state into account when considering sentencing for acts of murder, or do you think someone should receive a full prison sentence regardless of whether or not they are insane. Explain your answer to the question using evidence from "The Tell Tale Heart."
Edgar Allan Poe's 'The Tell Tale Heart' portrays a potentially insane narrator, providing a basis for discussion of mental health considerations in legal sentencing. Our justice system does allow for insanity pleas, considering the mental state and defendant's comprehension of right and wrong at the time of crime.
Explanation:The question, while relating it to Edgar Allan Poe's The Tell Tale Heart, essentially asks whether the justice system should consider the mental state of a person at the time of a crime during sentencing. In The Tell Tale Heart, the assumed insanity of the narrator is clear from his erratic behavior, obsessive focus on the old man's eye, and the ultimate confession driven by a hallucinatory heart beat. While this is a fictional example, it serves as a representation of how mental instability can lead to criminal behavior.
Nevertheless, the justice system's perspective and dealing with such cases is quite complex. The court may consider insanity pleas, which if proven, can result in psychiatric help instead of prison sentences. Factors considered include the defendant's ability to distinguish right from wrong at the time of crime and if they were compelled due to mental disease. However, these claims must be supported by strong evidence, usually presented by expert psychiatrists.

1. How does Grendel's response to
Beowulf differ from his normal
reaction to the kingdom's citizens
when he is in Herot?
Well, In the beginning His response is not much different, As Grendel only sees Beowulf as an Average citizen. Grendel is not fearful when they first meet, in fact (if i remember correctly) he is excited that Beowulf and his followers had come (So he could have more victims)
It's not until Beowulf Grabs Grendel "By the claws" That he's fearful. once beowulf shows that he's just as strong/maybe stronger Grendel becomes scared and "Wishes he could run away"
Normal Citizens were easy for Grendel to target, and easy victims for Grendel to Slaughter for his enjoyment. Beowulf is was not.
Grendel's response to Beowulf differs from his normal reaction to the kingdom's citizens when he is in Herot in the following manner:
- Grendel is fearful for the first time. He has never had to defend himself before. When he realizes how strong Beowulf is, he tries to flee.
Grendel and Beowulf are characters in the epic poem "Beowulf". Grendel is described as a man-eating monster, the son of a witch, while Beowulf is the classic epic hero.Grendel is stronger than anyone in the kingdom of Herot. He has never had problem doing what he wants. He is able to kill several men easily.However, when the hero Beowulf comes to challenge Grendel, things change.At first, Grendel is even excited about the idea of finally facing a worthy opponent.However, when he realizes how strong Beowulf is, he is fearful and even tries to run away from the battle.Learn more about the topic here:
