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.

Hi, Lance! Just here to post a comment about the reading you did in class. You got to do it twice, which was unfair, but that's cuz you sucked the first time. No offense... But the second time you did good. Well I thought it was ok you could have done better though. The volume was ok, not the best; you said all the words right, that should count for something; the emotion wasn't all there cuz it seemed like you didn't wanna do it, but who did, I don't blame you. It was alright.
