1. Find an example of a literary device and write the example. Be sure to label what device it is and explain how your example fits the description.
An example I found was " Smashing their shining swords, their bloody, Hammer-forged blades onto boar-headed helmets, Slashing and stabbing with the sharpest of points ". Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds in neighboring words in a line of poetry, and in lines 400-405, the "s" sound is repeated. " Smashing, shining, swords, blades, helmets, slashing, stabbing and sharpest " are the words repeating the " s " sound.
2. Choose one character and describe what they are like, using at least one piece of evidence from the text.
Grendles mother took Hrothgar's closest friend and killed him to avenge Grendle's death. in the text from 410-420 it clearly states " She'd taken Hrothgar's closest friend,/The man he most loved of men on earth;/She'd killed a glorious soldier..." …show more content…
Write a thorough summary of the events in the passage. Use textual evidence to bolster your summary.
Something about Grendles mother I thought was interesting was how she stolen back Grendle's claw and killed Hrothgar's best friend. i belive she did this to avenge her sons death and get back at Beowulf for killing her son. I also believe that the mother took the claw back because she probably felt that beowulf only had Grendles claw so he could always have it to tell the story of how he killed her son. In the text from 410-420 it clearly states " She'd taken Hrothgar's closest friend,/The man he most loved of men on earth;/She'd killed a glorious
