BEOWULF POEM



The bravest and the best of the geats, Beowulf!
Beowulf sailed over the sea to save Hrothgar from slicky Grendel
Hrothgar's men live happy in his hall while singing some songs
Darkness dropped, Grendel drips in his enemy's blood, delighted
Distance was the safety; only survivors, but can't see when they sleep
So Beowulf arose with his men around him
Planning how to defeat the fiend
Now help was needed
Beowulf's bravery brought him and Grendel together
Grendel tugged tight to Beowulf, with his large talons
Both battlings on Herots big walls
The man, Beowulf, meant to hold the monster till it's life leaped out
The monster flight, fastened his claws
Beowulf grabbed Grendel's arm
Snap! Muscle and bone split and broke, Grendel was now Defeated.

Grendel



Favorite Part in Grendel:


-He slipped through the door and there in the silence snatched up thirty men, smashed them unknowing in their beds and ran out with their bodies, the blood dripping behind him, back to his lair, delighted with his night's slaughter.







I chose this part from the story because it was explicit and told us how Grendel was like throughout the story.





Favorite in Beowulf:
-As he was loved by the Geats: the omens were good, and they urged the adventure on.





I chose that part because Beowulf had so much respect from Kings around the world. He was like a legend. People like bowed down to him



Favorite part of The Battle With Grendel:
-Grendel snatched at the first Geat he came to, ripped him apart, cut his body to bits with powerful jaws, drank the blood from his veins.


I chose this part from the story because this part was also explicit. The author told us how powerful Grendel was. Also the author told us how strong and cold hearted he was, how he didn't care about anything.
