Personal Narrative: My Diary Of Beowulf

Many years have come and gone, yet Grendel still terrorizes and preys on my Men. He has single handedly put fear into the hearts of the great people that live here in Heorot. I am Hrothgar, great king of the Danes, but I 'm not sure what I have to do in order to rid myself of this evil monster that plagues my kingdom. I assumed something had been wrong when I didn’t hear anyone sound the morning horns. Just as I was about to make my daily rounds in Heorot, I was met at my door with the horrible news that it had happen again.
