Goodbye Grendel

During today's class, our discussion centered around utilizing literary devices, characterization, and Anglo Saxon ideologies. As I forced you to use your terms and include evidence today, I expect you to incorporate these components into our future discussions and written assignments.

For tonight's readings, you have Sections 12 & 13 remaining in Grendel's portion of Beowulf (pgs. 36-38), "Life in 999" regarding the end of a millennium without Prince to rock us through (pgs. 40-41), and Gilgamesh, featuring an epic hero with a sidekick and a great deal of epic similes (pgs. 56-63). Let's see if you like the "monster" of this epic poem more than the hero.
