The Improvement of my Writing Skills during The Fall Semester. Robert Collier states, “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out.” This citation expresses as well all my English learning experience in Montgomery College, with a peculiarity for this semester.

It is the property of the imagination: it is the property of the language itself.” Perhaps for this reason, given the same original epic poem written in a language so primal that it may as well be considered a different one, so many different translations could have branched off. The translation of Beowulf written by Charles W. Kennedy creates a modern poetic feel by using imagery and stimulating language to best convey…
