John Gardner is the author of the novel Grendel written in 1971. It is a restating of part of the Old English poem Beowulf from the perspective of the antagonist, Grendel. In the novel, Grendel is portrayed as an anti-hero. The novel deals with finding meaning in the world, the power of literature and myth, and the nature of good and evil.

Gardner likes to play around with the standards of narrative, and we can see that quite clearly in his choice to show us the other side of the Beowulf story.

Grendel gives us his first-person narrative of what it's like to be a monstrous. But he also has this ability to know what other people are thinking, and he seems to see things that he shouldn't be able to see.

In Grendel, John Gardner uses:

B. first-person point of view to help readers see Grendel’s side of a familiar story.

I believe the answer is B. First Person point of view to help readers see Grendel's side of a familiar story.

This is right.

Can I get brainliest please?

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
