The Last Fight

Beowulf was victorious over Grendel, but he soon found that this victory came with a price. When Beowulf sets off to kill the demon, he brings nothing more than a sword and some armor, he does not devise a plan or even bring some men with him. This is a big mistake, because Beowulf knows nothing of his new opponent and knows not of her abominable ways, this “strategy” could easily backfire on Beowulf. Soon after the fight starts Beowulf finds himself extremely outmatched, and if he had chosen to not wear his enchanted armor, like with Grendel, he would have been killed in seconds. “ She tried to work her fingers through the tight ring-woven mail on his breast, but tore and scratched in vain” (Lines 477-479). “Her stabbing blade was blunted by the woven mail shirt he wore on his chest” (Lines 521-522). Not only was Beowulf outmatched, his weapons served no used to him, making him weaponless against a foe far superior to any he ever faced before. “...swung his sword... Straight at her head...and soon discovered no sword could slice her evil skin.” (Lines 492-498). Beowulf does not address all possible problems that might accrue, and relies solely on his strength…

“Flynn catches me looking back and moves my head forward, “Don’t look back,” he says. “Don’t look back.” And with a bit of courage, I don’t. The Last Fight Flynn tells me to tuck the gun into my shirt, which is loose enough, that no one would see its silhouette. We walk near the hospital, which isn’t too far off. I realize that I can’t be the one to give the cure to North, so I don’t catch the illness. I’ll have to get one of the nurses to give it to her. They’re more equipped for it then I…

"We've found creatures that stalk the night in the previous island. A lost treasure that sits with our names in the dry lands which we claimed on the island before. And let’s not forget the lethal god's swords that rests in our sheaths." stated Liam. "And you doubt we'll find a gemstone?" Jace grinned at his words; Liam was the richest captain and person in his homeland. They weren't just ordinary seaman, they were hunters of myths and lost treasures. Jace was the friend that shared the same…

Jorgan sighed and started unbuttoning his own jacket. Eventually they stood there, her in a halter bra and underwear, him in his shorts. It was awkward and he did his best to keep his eyes straight until he noticed she was staring at him, head tilted to the side. “What?” She reached out and he shied away, “That is an interesting scar” This time she grabbed his bicep and turned him slowly. The scar she was talking about started near his lower spine and wrapped around almost to his navel. “What…

Comes up to the missionary saying that “he would not do any harm to him if he were to just go back to his house and leave us alone… but this shrine which he built must be destroyed. We shall no longer allow it in our midst. I t has bred untold abominations and we have to come to put an end to it.” (Achebe, 176) This is showing that the people judged and disliked the white men pretty much because of the past and what has happened. In though Mr. Brown seem to start to build some…

Think about this, you would have two lives to live as a completely different person. You would have to keep up good grades, make some money to live on, support your family in one life, then save people, fight crime, and kill villains in the other life. It would be way to overwhelming for me.      To fight crime, Peter needs a costume and a mask of some sort to hide his identity. He is a pretty good artist and draws his costume that he wants. Since Peter doesn’t have much…

of the world, such as the Axis Powers: Germany, Italy, and Japan; and the Allied Powers: France, Britain, and Russia. On December 7, 1941, America would join the Allies after Japan attacked Hawaii’s coast at Pearl Harbor, Oahu. The war was a terrible fight; however, the fight wasn’t just fought on land, air, or water. There was a more subtle fight being fought by the Axis and Allied government’s movie makers and poster designers. These men and women played an important role in drawing up…

less';(1.1.100-101). Out of pride and anger, Lear banishes Cordelia and splits the kingdom in half to the two evil sisters, Goneril and Regan. This tragic flaw prevents King Lear from seeing the truth because his arrogance overrides his judgement. Lear’s arrogance also causes him to lose his most faithful servant, Kent. In addition, in the first act, Lear’s arrogance causes him to refuse to listen to Kent’s plea to look deeper into the true hearts of his two eldest daughters.…

has been destroying his kingdom. Instead of having his men join him in battle he sends them off so that he may fight the Dragon alone and not risk other’s lives. After the Dragon is defeated he asks that all the spoils go to all those in the kingdom so that could prosper. Destroying the presence of evil in the kingdom of Heorot was an exceptional feet, but what makes Beowulf stand out is his purpose. He fought, neither for the glory nor riches, but for the sake of the people. This quality alone…
