Anglo-Saxons


5 interesting things i learned about the anglo-saxons is that:

1. they fight with different nations as with same race but different culture like Vikings.
2. they can live up to 40 years an average
3. they believe in roman catholicism but they also make rituals and they belive in folk religion which is called paginism
4. one of their biggest fears would be: beliefs of monsters and creatures that huant the
5. nights, and also threats of being invaded or killed by other nations.
6. they are small villages that tend to invade more tribes.
   

Beowulf

My first favorite part would be:

"I drove 5 great giants into chains,

chased all of that race from the earth.

I swam in the blackness of night,

hunting monsters out of the ocean,

and killing them one by one"

I happen to like this part the most because,

i just like how they gave details of how great Beowulf was.

It showed how strong and how much courage he had,

and briefingly saying how he was capable on killing

something like Grendel.

My second favorite part from Beowulf is:

"And his heart laughed, he relished the sight

intended to tear the life from those bodies

by morning; the monster's mind was hot

with the thought of food and the

feasting his belly would soon know"

I really like this quote or part of the story because,

i like how the author used the metaphor "his heart laughed"

he was greedy and he was happy to have that feeling he

wanted and the type that everyone would have.

1. Something that i have done that no one in my 1st period class has done was umm, lets say play my guitar for 4 hours straight, or i have gone to Washington D.C over the summer, either one of those 2.

2. 3 words i would describe myself would be: funny, friendly but sometimes rude.

3. A brief summary about my name was, when i was born, my father named me Lancelot McGhee because he found it unique, my mom named my middle name Paul and my father wanted to pass on his last name, which one day hopefully ill do so too. Lancelot i have no idea why but i guess it was either the historical figure or from a movie, which comes to the point that the charcter is that same historical person.
