In Beowulf all that we ... out Beowulf's not-so triumphant swimming contest with Brecca, shows the reader (or listener) that Unferth is nothing more than a spineless bastard. In Grendel we find that Unferth's bitterness is well founded. John Gardner shows Unferth as the most pathetic man to ever call himself a hero. Unferth is degraded once in the apple battle (he was beat by flying fruit for god's sake!!!) and then again ... ignore. He is dying to be a martyr in both Grendel and Beowulf. The only difference between Grendel's Unferth and Beowulf's Unferth is the detail and depth to which his character is taken. John Gardner brought a relatively small character from Beowulf , and made him the second most defined character in Grendel.

- 1575: Let The Circle Be Unbroken
- ... the book would deal with threats against TJ and how he deals with them. Maybe TJ would even get into more trouble with RW and Melvin. When Dube organizes a union with Mr. Wheeler and John Moses, they all came to Mr. Logan for help. They asked him if he could sign up all of the people in his area. Their goal is to get plantation workers 50 cents from sunup ... workers (a.k.a. sharecroppers) would get 50 cents a day for work. My opinion on this event is why even have meetings. The book did a very poor job explaining what Mr. Wheeler and John Moses talked about. In reality, would your pay get boosted from 4 cents a day to 50 cents a day especially in time of depression? I dont think so. Also, there needs to be less talk around town about the union meetings so the plantation owners dont hear about them. I feel that Dube, Mr. Wheeler, and John Moses poorly executed all of this union stuff. The event when Suzella visits the Logans it a major turning point in the novel. Cassie first met Suzella up in her room when she was ...
