Today in class we talked about Beowulf and some writing assignments that we will have in the future.
-Test on Beowulf next week.
-We will also have two other writing assignments later this week.
-When Grendel's mom attacked Heorot she took back Grendel's arm and also killed and took Aeschere's head.
-Aeschere was one of Hrothgar's closest friends and advisors.
-Beowulf fought Grendel's mom with armor and weapons because by taking them the fight would be more equal since Beowulf did not have home turf advantage.
-Beowulf took 9 hours to reach the bottom of the lake where the lair of Grendel's mom was. As Beowulf was swimming down Grendel's mom came and dragged him down all the way to her cave.
-During the fight with Grendel's mom when Beowulf was pinned down by her he remenbered his past achievements and skills. By remenbering his fame he regained confidence in himself and gained strength to fight back against her and defeat her.
