Grimm's Attack Short Story

To honor the Beowulf’s heroic life and battles, I’ve been assigned as one of his closest warriors to exclaim his appellation and share the stories of his battles. One of the citizen came up to me and asked, “I heard that Beowulf was an amazing guy, but I never fully knew him. Could you tell me more about him?” I was extremely excited as this man was the first person to ever ask me about Beowulf. “Beowulf was a strong leader and a great friend. Although he might not have been a very humble man, he was nowhere near being a bully. He’s the type of man that would belittle anyone who hurts the weak and innocent. Beowulf was mettlesome and was never intimidated by any menace.” The man’s eyes were already widen. “He sounds like a guy I would wanna be protected by,” the citizen said, “Can you tell me about one of his battles?” I prepared myself as I was about to begin a long lecture of how strong Beowulf was.

Last of all, Beowulf is not scared when his weapons break or they do not work on the monster. “The shining blade/ refused to bite. It spared her and failed/ the man in his need”(1523-1525). Even though the blade failed him he instanly throws it away continues to fight. Beowulf continuing to fight is showing that he has the courage not to give up.

No one, not even Beowulf himself, expected triumphing over the demon. In fact, his sullen acceptance of death in battle has allowed him to let go of fear and give in to the ending God had for him. Even after 50 years, Beowulf’s attitude towards death remains the same because he still believes that “wyrd” or fate will determine his time of death. He has lost his trust in his abilities, however, and as he gets ready to face the dragon, he knows that he no longer has the strength he used to have and will die in battle. Even so, he holds on to his position as a warrior and charges into battle before the dragon’s poisonous bite takes his life away.

Right away he starts to swing at me before I get a chance to so I start dodging his punches but then he throws a real swing at me right to the ribs that’s when I got mad he’s still swinging got me again in the ribs but the other side side at this point

This shows that Beowulf is brave enough to go and save his people from being attacked again by the dragon. Beowulf’s change throughout the epic story is one that’s very important to finishing the story. An editor writes “He risks his life for a group of relative strangers, demonstrating a generous bravery” (Joyce). Beowulf not only does it for the glory, but to also save his people or strangers from being killed by the dragon terrorizing them. Beowulf’s attitude between the beginning and the end of the story is very similar but the minor things can make a big difference.

Beowulf’s triumphs are short lived due to another attack on Herot. This time, Grendel’s mother comes to the great mead hall to avenge her son. The battle between Grendel’s mother and Beowulf differs greatly from the previous battle with the beast’s son. After another attack, Beowulf now must seek out his new enemy, and fight her on her own turf. As it stood, the scores were even between the monsters and the Danes, but Beowulf now looked for victory over the monsters, not revenge. Beowulf also had to regain his reputation. He had just won a trophy, when the bigger, badder bully came up to him and took it straight from his grasp. Now Beowulf traveled to the burning lake, which proved a test of its own. He then swam to the bottom of the lake where the monster resided. All of this just to get to the monster shows that this brave hero would do anything to set the scores right for his people and for the glory that came with it.

During this time Beowulf is old of age and does not possess the same strength he did in his younger days. Beowulf knows he could not face the dragon like his last to opponents with his bare hands because of the hot poison the dragon will breathe. He chooses to go into battle with a sword and shield. Beowulf goes into this fight knowing that it would be his last so he will fight until he dies. Beowulf has matured into a man fighting for glory for his people not fame as in his younger days.

Prideful steps came to a halt as soon as Beowulf stopped and slowly turned to face us, a crowd of young warriors willing to give our all to fight alongside such a hero. I could feel my heart quench as he told his story, of his brothers and father, of his glory and fame, and watched in awe with every movement he made. Alas, Beowulf made his final boast and ended with what only the best heroes could, “If the dragon in this tower dares to face me!” he screamed. We cheered and felt our adrenaline go up as we became more prepared for the battle just around the corner, our swords in hand, shields already up; however, nothing could have prepared us for what lie ahead.

This wasn’t what I wanted but I had to be brave, I had to protect my clan. Asger gave me a hopeful look and hit my shoulder with power as I ran past, nodding and sending me forward. I put on a brave face and bared my teeth and then bit down on my shield- sword raised up and swinging around my head wildly. I roared as I came within a famne of the first row of our enemies.

We-neg slaps him. Sen-head staggers, motions to wave his hand. An outraged, wizard slaps him again. He becomes breathless.

My first reaction was to fight, and I sprinted, pain forgotten, over to the creature, my hands already in fists, a fierce look on my pale face.

This particular gang and the members in it protect each other like family. That being said, one of the female gang members had spent two days looking for the two teenagers. She ended up finding them in the City for Palm Springs in a vacant lot. Upon her arrival she took out a firearm and fired multiple rounds at the two teenagers. One of the boys was hit in the shoulder while the other was struck in the throat.

Logan saw the punch before it came and ducked quickly. He looked at Noah. So the bear wants a fight? Maybe he should be punished for barging into my apartment and stealing my mate. Logan’s leopard growled in agreement. His leopard was ready to tear Noah limb from limb.

Beowulf traveled to Herot to visit Hrothgar to help defeat Grendel. Grendel was an evil demon. He was a murderer. Beowulf was a hero who helped is people, whenever they needed his help. Beowulf was the strongest of the Gates. Beowulf went out of his way, and put his life in danger for the people who needed his help. He was a hero willing to sacrifice his life for someone. Beowulf fought for what he believed in. Beowulf goes underwater and fights with Grendel’s mother in a cave. After Grendel mother killed Hrothgar bestfriend.Beowulf tried to hit her with a sword, but it does word because her skin is against sword. Then, Beowulf decides to attack her with his bare hands. He then knock her down, but she still managed to fight back then gets on top of him. Grendel’s mother tires to kill Beowulf but his armor protect him. B ut then Beowulf founds a giant sword that kills her. Grendel came hoping to kill anyone he could trap on his trip to high Heorot. Grendel approaches Heorot and tears open the door. Cries for fierce Grendel arm with a grip stronger than any Grendel felt before, Grendel dies. One day Beowulf finally founds his match a fire breathing dragon, woken by a thief

Throughout the entire passage of Beowulf there has been an overarching theme of Beowulf’s fate of life which in this passage is shown through the strong imagery of gain and loss and with the diction of sadness.
