They Signed a Waiver!

As we mentioned in fifth hour, if you are one of Beowulf's crew, you know part of your duty is playing sacrificial lamb for your boss. Hence, you sign a waiver. If you are eaten by a descendant of Cain, that is your fate. 

Meanwhile, we reviewed vocabulary for the quiz tomorrow. I just made up the answer key, and I hope you all know what antonyms are for this quiz.

For the remainder of the hour, you earned participation points over-analyzing Beowulf sections and noting the literary elements, characterization, and Anglo-Saxon imprint on the text. We did not finish - so close - all the sections, so if you were absent, you will find out tomorrow what section (in second hour between 10-13 and in fifth hour between 12-13) you will be responsible for verbally analyzing. I would make sure to have those sections prepped.

To add to our readings for tomorrow, check out the epic hero and Gilgamesh, which I believe if between pages 54-63 in your textbook.
