Reading Notes: Beowulf, Part B

Grendel Attacks
  • I really liked the imagery in this story as well!
    • It explained the way Grendel looks and why he was such a monstrous beast that everyone was afraid of 
  • I could rewrite this by creating another monster or something that is equally feared 
  • The main plot could be the same with just different characters
The Battle with Grendel
  • This whole story uses a lot of imagery in it, making it really easy to visualize what is happening in the stories
  • I could use this technique in my next story and try to explain every detail of what is happening, what the people and creatures look like, and what the area is like (trees, landscape, hills, mountains, prairies, etc.)
  • I could twist the story around by making Grendel win and Beowulf lose, and see what turn that takes on the rest of the story
    • I could even end it with Beowulf dying
    • Or I could retell it in Grendel's point of view so we see a new perspective
The Arrival of the Dragon
  • The story stated that many years passed since we have heard from Beowulf, and I was curious to know what he did in those years
  • Maybe I could write a story in which I explain what Beowulf did in the past years
  • I could write about how he went and helped other towns and villages around the world or how he went into hiding after a fight gone wrong or something
