Lit Comp 12 (Beowulf)
1. The Standard addresses that during this unit we will learn about our time period, and also about others time period. We will also be comparing our historical background with others. A. Its important to master because you learn a lot of your historical background and also where some come from.
2. What did you think of the story? - I really don’t know what to say cause, I couldn’t get into the story like that bout it is a great story. (At dawn, when the Danes learned of Grendel's strength, there was great weeping.
The old king sat sadly, crying for his men. Bloody footprints were found). Their culture is crazy you got people getting their head and stuff ate off.

3. How well does Beowulf illustrate what the Anglo-Saxons believed? The story illustrates the Anglo-Saxons belief real great (Shield had a son, child for his yard, sent by God to comfort the people, to keep them from fear--Grain was his name; he was famous throughout the North).
4. How does this story compare to the hero stories from our culture? Something bad happens to a village, city, or town. Than a hero comes into the picture and saves the day.
5. What do you think of the way Beowulf dies? He went out with a great honor for doing what he done, he fought a great battle his whole life and never gave up on anything, I say he left with great glory and pride.
This post needs a lot more work to be complete.
ReplyDelete#2 -- I need more details from the story. As your post reads, it really does not show your familiarity with the story. You will need this to answer the following questions appropriately.
#3 How so? What aspects of their culture? The quote you provide doesn't really support anything yet.
#4 How? I am asking for two specific examples.
#5 It does not appear as though you are very clear on the way Beowulf dies. What about his death tells you that he "left with great glory and pride"?
SUGGETIONS:
Spend some time reading the twelve episodes of the story. So far your work does not reflect that you have done this well enough. IF you need help, I am happy to do so, but it all begins with your effort in reading the story.
You may also feel that completing this project on E2020 instead of on this blog is the right choice for you. That is fine with me, so let me know if that is your choice.
Regardless, you still have a bit of work to do to earn your credit for this unit.
