12 episodes of Beowulf

Beowulf was a warrior of Hygelac's and he heard of the Grendel's and what he was doing. Beowulf was the strongest of men of that day, he was mighty and noble. He wanted to help the king fight against this man. Beowulf and fourteen brave warrior loaded the ships and had bright weapons and fitted armor. As they landed on shore one Of Grendel warrior came and asked who they were. And Beowulf spoke up and said,"As to kin, we are of the Geat nation, Hygelac's hearth-companions. My father was a leader well known among the people: Edgtheow.He stayed many winters before he went away,aged, from the court. We have come with friendly hearts to see your lord, Healfdene's son, protector of the people.Be good counsel to us:we have come on a great errand to the king of the Danes. Perhaps in kindness I may advise Hrothgar how he, wise and famous,may overcome this enemy--if change will ever come,relief from this evil--and how this seething sorrow might become cool. Otherwise, he will suffer tribulation as long as he lives in that high place,the best of houses."


The man on the horse let them through to pay the Hrothgar a visit. The came upon a man by the name Wulfgar and he told Hrothfar that Beowulf wanted to speak with him and do not refuse the request. Hrothfar knew Beowulf father and wanted to welcome them in. Beowulf spoke with Hrothfar and asked if he could fight Grendel. Hrothgar said these words:"Never, since I have been able to lift shield, have I entrusted this hall, this mighty house of the Danes, to any man.But now I entrust it to you.Have and hold this best of houses.Keep fame in mind, watch against the foe, and make your valor known! You shall lack nothing if you survive this deed." So those words coming out of his mouth was a response that he could fight Grendel.

As Beowulf went to bed his warriors thought he wouldn't see home again because no one has survived again Grendel. Grendel enter the hall and seen all the warriors and thought to his self that he could rip out the life of each one of them. "Grendel's spirit was afraid and his heart eager to get away, to flee to his hiding place, flee to the devils he kept for company. Never had he meta man such as this." Grendel was afraid of Beowulf and felt sorry that he made a trip to Herot. He wanted to escape for Beowulf. Beowulf killed Grendel and no the warrior feld sad for him because he deserved what was coming for him. Grendel mother also deserved what happen to her also. The ending when Beowulf had died, i think that was sad his life was taken from all the good things he had done for people.

I think the story was an interesting story. I liked it. I think Beowulf was a mighty good warrior and fought for what he thought was right. The part that stuck out to me was when Grendel was scared of Beowulf and he wanted to escape and felt sorry he had came to Herot. Grendel killing so many people i wouldn't have thought he would get scared of Beowulf. I guess you look at things from an different angle when you are faced with someone that is stronger and powerful than you.
