We finished Beowulf today: The Farewell. Things we discussed in detail

  • Beowulf’s dying request was the tower, so that people could remember him
  • He was cremated and buried with the treasure
  • The monks tried to compare him to Jesus, but we poo-pooed that idea. Beowulf isn’t MILD. He’s not a Ghost Chile Pepper, but he’s definitely at least a jalapeno. Most people said that I was MILD because I’m not mean, but don’t equate MILD with NICE. Once we got over that misconception, most classes decided that I was around US grade police pepper spray.
  • Then, I gave you time to work on the Beo-Boast. Remember, you have to highlight and identify the required poetic elements.

The Boast is due tonight at 11:59 pm! GET. IT. IN!

We finished Beowulf today  The Spoils and The Farewell. Things we discussed in detail:

  • Wiglaf was Beowulf’s cousin – B-wulf never got married, or had kids, so he gave the kingdom to his next-of-kin, who proved himself
  • Beowulf’s dying request was the tower, so that people could remember him
  • He was cremated and buried with the treasure
  • The monks tried to compare him to Jesus, but we poo-pooed that idea. Beowulf isn’t MILD. He’s not a Ghost Chile Pepper, but he’s definitely at least a jalapeno. We realized that Vistas lost a lot our spicier teachers from last year.

I gave you time to work on the Metaphorical Response, which is due today.
