Context clues
Context clues are hints in the surrounding text that can help determine the meaning of unfamiliar words. There are four main types of context clues: definition/explanation, which directly defines the word; restatement/synonym, which uses a similar word; contrast/antonym, which contrasts the word's meaning; and inference/general context, which relies on common sense to infer the meaning. Understanding context clues can help readers comprehend new vocabulary from context in what they are reading.
Context Clues
This document discusses different types of context clues that can help determine the meaning of unknown words:
1. Definition clues directly define the word or use a synonym.
2. Synonym clues provide words with the same meaning.
3. Contrast/antonym clues use opposite words or contrasting ideas.
4. Example clues give specific instances of the concept.
5. Inference clues require using prior knowledge and reasoning to understand the meaning. Context clues alone may not provide a complete definition and sometimes the passage contains no clues.

Beowulf
Beowulf is often considered the singular, originary, uniquely English epic. The manuscript itself dates from approximately 1000 C. E., but the story has all the earmarks of an older, oral composition that was recorded after a later performance. The historic figures recognizable are from the 7th century C. E. in the area of what is now Denmark. The Old English dialect is fairly regional to the area now known as Essex.
If you look at an image of the manuscript, you will discover that there is no title; the poem was called Beowulf after its central character, even though he doesn’t appear until the story is well under way. Until J.R.R. Tolkien’s 1938 essay, “The Monster and the Critics,” most of the critique of the poem was based on the heroics of Beowulf and the poetics of the poem. Tolkien, a philologist and professor of Anglo-Saxon studies at Oxford, made an argument that no had considered before. He posited that the key to understanding the poem was to understand the monsters in it and how they shape the thematic issues of the narrative.
To understand that idea, the first thing you need to look at is the basic structure of the poem. The opening movement, about Schyld Sheffing, is the establishment of the standard of a “good king” – and all other rulers are compared to him. One way the reader knows it significance is the shift in the narrative voice when the commentary “that was a good king” is presented. This is an example of Gnomic Lore. This isn’t about that Travelocity gnome; it’s about gnosis (wisdom). Periodically through the text, moments of gnosis occur, when that same shift in voice occur. These moments help an audience understand the significance of the events that have just occurred in the narrative.
