Beowulf 2
.... a good hold on
him. The monster was so powerful that no weapon to do any harm to the
great monster. Since Beowulf had a good hold on his arm he just
ripped it off. After that Grendel had took off running to the lake
where he had once lived to die.
Now Beowulf has gotten Grendel's mother mad, her son is dead. So she
came to Herot and killed Hrothgar's best friend, and got her sons arm
back. Beowulf follows her back to the lake. He takes a curagious
dive into the lake where she lives. .....

Beowulf 3
.... The Geats need someone to believe in and who would believe in someone with low self-esteem or someone who didn’t believe in themselves. The people need assurance and they found that assurance in Beowulf. Beowulf reassures his people that the Dragon will be dealt with and gives them courage to withstand this threat. “ I lived in my youth through hard war-moments--- now here I am ready battle weary king battered with winters for final glory-time if that grim hall burner will come to meet .....

Beowulf 4
.... Beowulf later brought back Gendel's head as some sort of symbolic trophy. He gave the head Hrothgar as some kind of gift to try to show to everyone what a great warrior he is, but if he were a true great warrior he would not have to bring anything back to prove his greatness.
Besides Beowulf's boastfulness and egotistical actions he was also very greedy, not just from the treasures he got with the victory of each battle but also from the strive to become immortal, whether it be by song or poem. Beowu .....

Beowulf 5
.... they had to be strong and unified. For without unity and leadership, they would be defeated. Beowulf kept his people together with his physical prowess, mental strength, and undying devotion. Beowulf was truly a model hero of the Anglo-Saxon Era.

Beowulf 6
.... over. When Beowulf hears about Grendel, he feels that it is his obligation to stop Grendel from killing anymore. Beowulf leaves to go to Herot to kill Grendel. He is mostly being praised for his long journey to face this terrible monster. Beowulf says, "Grendel is no braver, no stronger than I am! I could kill him with my sword; I shall not" (677). Beowulf feels that he can defeat Grendel even without a weapon. The first night, they have a celebration in the mead hall, and the warriors fall asleep .....

Beowulf 7
.... “so effortlessly Odysseus in one motion strung the bow”(XXI.465-467.) With the ease of him stringing the bow compared to the inability of the suitors makes Odysseus seem super human. Through out The Odyssey he displays this overpowering force at various times. “Odysseus’ arrow hit him under the chin and pushed up to the feathers through his throat”(XXII.16-17.) In the battle with the suitors his power and brutal tendencies show through just like the warrior emerging. Duri .....

Beowulf 8
.... the dragon is to breath the fire on him. Beowulf's intelligence is well spoken for him because he knows what to do in all sorts of situations without having to think about them.
The last one of Beowulf's qualities is that he's strong. Beowulf is talked to be one of the strongest men alive of all his nationality. He holds this title because he can do what no other of his kind can, with their strength. Beowulf is so strong that he pulls off Grendel's arm with his bear hands. Any man that can h .....

Beowulf 9
.... it was first heard and when exactly. What the author took for granted about the knowledge of the reader will never be known. What is known is that the fundamental assumptions that cannot be proven and established on these elaborate theories cannot be verified and are therefore assumed. The only thing that can be acknowledged is what has been left behind. Beowulf is a work of fiction, centered on a character and his fights with monsters. The hardships and problems that Beowulf undergoes can almost .....

Beowulf Vs. Mcmurtry
.... name a few. "Their principles and practices are alike: mass hysteriaa, the art of intimidation, absolute command and total obedience." As if this weren't enough information to change your mind about the likeness between the two there is still more. "The virtues they celebrate are almost identical: hyper-agressiveness, coolness under fire and suicidal bravery.
"Clearly, our sort of football is no sicker than the rest of our society." Society makes everything that it is. And, in turn, society makes .....

Beowulfs Grendel
.... is not what he wanted to listen to during to his life in the marshes. This example shows how Grendel, the opposing force of Herot, could not even stand anything that came from the hall. These two forces were on the opposite sides of their personalities.
In addition to the music, their overall beliefs contributed to Grendel’s complete hatred to the population of Herot. Grendel seemingly believed that pure carnage and destruction was his only way for communicating. Herot and its people expr .....

Big Two-hearted River
.... doesn't include, "he thought," or, "he said to himself," and so it is unclear. The result is the same regardless. Using first person narration at this point serves to make the story more alive, more personal. It jolts the reader into realizing the humanity of Nick; he is no longer the object of a story but a real person. If Nick is making so much stir over it that he speaks directly to the reader, he must feel passionately about it. Or if Hemingway is so moved by the size of the trout that he exclaim .....

Billy Budd
.... readers come to love Billy as his fellows sailors do. He is completely innocent and naive at the same time. The readersees his weakness and comes to feel sorry for Billy the way one might for a child. The reader sympathizes with Billy especially when he is confronted by Claggart and can do nothing, but stutter. The reader is with Billy throughout and witnesses his transformation at the end.
In this fashion, Billy Budd is both a classic and modern tragedy. Melville combines the two unknowingly giving .....

Billy Budd 2
.... real, and complex in the different situations.
The narrator constantly makes allusions to the Bible and to Greek mythology, and this has the effect of elevating Billy’s story into a “symbolic drama.” The narrator also has the habit of straying, and he confesses that this weakness is a “literary sin.” One might find these acts to be distracting, but in fact when you stop to think why the narrator included them it sheds a certain light. Not only does the narrator keep changi .....

Birth Of A Monster
.... (Shelley 61)."
Victor Frankenstein because of his scientific curiosity wanted to bring back the dead by animating the life less. Not knowing what will happen to this being after being brought back from the dead. Victor obviously did not take in to consideration that this being will have emotions, giving it the ability to feel, pain, love and sorrow. So by disowning his “child” Victor created a need for emotional compensation from someone. This caused hate and rage to be embodied in Franke .....

Black Like Me
.... but as a black man he could be cold, starving in a rich area of town, and wouldn't be able to get food or shelter. Griffin also didn't know how to respond to white people of the time, so he would probably have to talk to black people to learn that. I also after his story was published there would probably be retaliation from hate groups. I also want to know why Griffin met with the Federal Bureau of Investigation men. By meeting with the Federal Bureau of Investigation the most they could do is tel .....
