Are woman “physically capable” to be firefighters? Women are physically capable of doing anything they set their minds to. Men and women can do the same job.

It depends on experience‚ education‚ and stamina of any sex to be a firefighter. In my experience working with a woman‚ they can work as hard if not harder than men in the same field. All you need is experience

10/6/12 Period 3 How is imagery used in Beowulf? Imagery is the formation of mental images. It is used all throughout this epic poem Beowulf. The way imagery is used in Beowulf is powerful‚ deep‚ and strong. Imagery in this epic poem makes it so easy to picture what’s going on‚ and really sets the mood for Beowulf.

In the classic epic Beowulf we follow the great hero from his time as a young boy to his final moments as King of the Geats.

This is done through a jumble of Pagan and Christian values that are being bounced between throughout the text. Many of his ‘softer’ virtues such as forgiveness‚ generosity and commitment‚ seem to stem primarily from the Christian

Written: A Look into Beowulf There have been many scholarly opinions over the years regarding Beowulf and its claim to be an oral versus a written work.
