Is mandisa correct in saying Mxolisi is a product of his own environment

This excerpt is from The Adventures of Tom Sawyer

Explanation:

• Ben Roger was Tom's peer. While Tom was whitewashing the fence, Ben arrived with an apple, making a long melodious whoop intermittently with a ding-dong, ding-dong sound.

• He was mimicking a steamboat, reducing speed as if he was measuring nine feet of water. He pretended to embody the boat, the captain, and the engine bell.

• Then he feigned bringing the forty feet wheel to a halt with a ting-a-ling-ling.

Within this passage from Beowulf, two elements highlight the significance of family ties and ancestry: a. approval from kin, permission granted by fellow warriors.

Explanation:

"I have guarded the shore, standing watch,

Preventing foes from ever ravaging

The Danish lands with their fighting ships.

No warriors have dared more boldly

To approach here; with family consent,

And leave from warriors, I believe you surely

Have not encountered anything. No greater one

Among earls on earth have I ever seen

Than one of your number, a brave armored man;

Not a lowly man with his gear,

Unless deceived by appearances, and striking look.

Before you continue on your way

As deceitful spies to the land of the Scyldings

And beyond, I must know fully

What people you belong to. You distant dwellers,

Sailors of the sea, hear and heed:

Tell me swiftly where you have come from."
