Beowulf

In the poem Beowulf, he was like a hero.Hrothgar became king and he built a mead hall.After it was built he handed out gold and treasure.The Mead-Hall was high towered,tall and wide gabled.People were happy until Grendel moved in the mead hall.Hrothgar suffered sorrows for 12 years.The Danes began to forget who God was.Then Beowulf came to fix the problem.LAter Grendel meets Beowulf when they meet they fight and Beowulf kills Grendel. No warriors weresad about the death.Hrothgar gave Beowulf decorated flag,helmet,armor and precious sword.When Grendel's mother found out about he son's death she was very angry.She went into the Mead-Hall and killed Hrothgar's most loyal man.Beowulf and grendel's mother got into a fight she could not injure Beowulf. Beowulf couldn't injure her until he stabbed her in the neck. Beowulf cut off her head and broght it back to the Mead-Hall.
I didn't really like the Beowulf because it is very hard to understand.Something that really stuck out to me was that Beowulf was like a god to the people.The towns people like worshipped him.The anglo-saxon was not a well organized community.The anglo-saxon had a different king for each section.Eventhough christanity was on the rise in England, The anglo-saxon religon was still on the rise.Odin was the most important god in the anglo-saxon.He was god of death,magic,and poetry.We get the name wednesday from odin.There was a dragon who was the protector of treasure of warrior graves.
Beowulf had a lot in common with the anglo-saxon.In the prologue Beowulf was like superman because he comes and saves the day by killing Grendel.Grendel came in the night and ate a man whole including his hands and feet. Beowulf grasped grendels finger until they broke.Beowulf broke his fingers so he would be in pain until he would eventually kill him. "Bewulf's warriors brandished many a sword, inheritances from the ancient days, trying to protect their chief...brave warriors fought striking from all sides, seeking to take Gredel's soul." The end of Grendel's life was miserable.Grendel's death made no warrior sad.Another reason Beowulf had a lot to do with anglo-saxon was that in the prologue they talked of many kings.In the poem you hear of "many danish kings and how they were great warriors.Grendel's mother reminded me of a childhood story when the troll lived under the bridge.In the prologue "Grendel's mother, a monster woman, lived in the terrible water, the cold streams, thought of her misery."
I think that Beowulf is similar to spider Man because when there is a problem with Grendel he was always there to save the day. Beowulf also tried to fight Grendel's mother and the dragon also.He also tries to fight something that is way powerful and too big like the dragon.
I think that Beowulf's death was a tragedy. He died trying to protect everyone even though he knew that he might die. The dragon had bitten him on the neck that made him bleed. They bathed Beowulf until he was clean. He could talk in a low voice until he finally died.
This poem was very hard for me to understand. I may have not answered all the questions appropiately. I was wrte in language that was hard for me to understand.
