Grendel’s lives under the hall of Herot. The Danes are celebrating with loud music, alcohol, and dancing. Grendel became deranged and took matter into his own hands or his claws. While the men were passed out from being drunk, he snuck into Herot and ate the men one by one. In Grendel’s perception, he is doing the right

The 5A South Regionals round kicked off with a big double header. The first matchup on the night was between the Hampton Crabbers and the Maury Commodores. Lose and go home was the stipulations of the game, both teams played as such.

One night, while Grendel is watching the mead hall, an old blind man with a harp, the Shaper, shows up and plays for Hrothgar, the king, and his people, the Danes. “He would sing the glory of Hrothgar’s line and gild his wisdom and stir up his men to more daring deed, for a price… He sang of battle and marriages, of funerals and hangings, the whimpering’s of beaten enemies, of splendid hunts and harvests. He sang of Hrothgar, hoarfrost white, magnificent of mind” (Gardner 42-43).

They outnumbered Custer’s armies by a ratio of 9 to 1. The battle was soon over and all but one of Custer’s soldiers died, including Custer.

Grendel, the man-eating monster, decides he wants to show himself to the people of Hrothgar’s kingdom to prevent his loneliness.

Griffin was running low on money, so he decided to cash a traveler’s check at the dime store where he would make most of his purchases as a white man. However he came in as “Negro” to cash a check but the white girl said no to him because of the color of his skin. He was not disappointed of the fact that the store didn’t want to cash his check, but he was disappointed of how these stores carried bad manners. “It was not their refusal- I could understand that; it was the bad manners they displayed” (49). This statement of being rejected at various stores to cash a traveler’s check made me upset because clerk assumed his checks were bad because of the color of his skin. This reminded me of a time during football season, when we had to sell discount cards for a fundraiser. Anyway I had the hardest time selling the discount cards, probably because I’m Mexican, and my friend that is white sold all of his so decided to help me. The thing that got me more mad was that my friend was selling my cards to people I had already asked.

Beowulf and his men slept in the mess hall that night and waited for Grendel to arrive. When Grendel arrived Beowulf grabbed him by his arm and ripped it off. Grendel scared ran back to his home where he bled to death. King Hrothgar rewarded Beowulf and his men with treasure and gave them a place to stay for the night.

He stealthily opened the door to find a hall full of men, quietly asleep. There was a sense of tranquility that the warriors gave off; they had a night full of booze and laughter, that nothing would ruin that feeling until Grendel took his first stride into the room and that feeling of ease disappeared. He towered over the men, that were asleep and unaware, and pondered who would be the unlucky warrior to be snatched up and gulped whole. Though he thought, that would be too easy and too personable. Instead, greedy as Grendel was, he snatched thirty men up and darted out of the hall, stained with blood and sin. The remaining of the men began to screech, their voices trembling of the horrors that took place before their very own eyes. The knew that Herot was not longer safe, Grendel would be back whether it be the next days or years from then. So they gathered all of their belongings off the dusty and blood-stained floor of Hrothgar and began to walk to a place as

The plot outlined above illustrates the many close parallels of books 64 to 67 of Grettir's Saga and the first book of Beowulf. However, the underlying religious tenor shifts significantly from work to work. Grettir's Saga immediately identifies itself as a Christian tale through the introduction of a priest who, after becoming the stranger's sidekick, banishes the hero. Grettir's monster only appears at Yuletide, a time of Christian festivity formalized by

Grendel, a monster who lives at the bottom of a nearby mere, is provoked by the singing and celebrating of Hrothgar's followers. He appears at the hall late one night and kills thirty of the warriors in their sleep. For the next twelve years, the fear of Grendel's fury casts a shadow over the lives of the Danes. Hrothgar and his advisors can think of nothing to calm the monster's anger.
