- As we continue reading Beowulf, think about how the story would be different if it were told from a different perspective. In a SEPARATE blog entry from your CWoD, you will write the following ..
- Consider the events of the "Battle With Grendel" and the characters that are involved in the scene. Despite the 3rd person narrator in this epic, Beowulf is clearly shown as the protagonist ... how would it read differently, though, if Grendel were the protagonist?
- Write 200-300 words retelling the events of the "Battle with Grendel" from Grendel's perspective. Proofread your work and post to your blog.
- Continue reading Part 4 "Grendel's Mother" and prepare for the quiz over Parts 3 & 4 tomorrow. Reminder, it will not be open book ... so make sure you are familiar with these parts of the story inside and out.
