so today we went over many of the questions off of the worksheet for beowulf. basically these are the bullet statements taht are important
-a-s hate unknown , live in small communities, and blame what they odnt understand on unknown
-A-s worlview is when you turn away from your community you become an outcast
-warriors feel that if u can sacrice one person for the sake of many it is worth it
-Grendle/monsters in in marshes, where no people are, and come out and harass people at night when people arent active
-Beowulf came to help defeat grendle for honor and the fact that the kind had once a long time ago helped his father
-when beowulf came up onto the shore he first met the watchman who he refuse to tell his name because his name is sacred and he wasnt of a high enough statuc to tell him his name
-unferth, the kings right hand man, challenges beowulf when he comes and brags about himself
