BEOWULF

1) One of my favorite parts is when the author describes Grendel:
A powerful monster, living down
In the darkness, growled in pain, impatient
As day after day the music rang
Loud in that hall, the harp's rejoicing
Call and the poet's clear songs, sung...
This part describes Grendel in a rhyme.


2)Another part is
So the living sorrow of Healfdane's son
Simmered, bitter and fresh, and no wisdom
Or strength could break it: that agony hung
On king and people alike, harsh
And unending, violent and cruel, and evil.

I like this part because it shows how one monster can have an entire town scared.

3) My third favorite part was:
The monster's
Thought were as quick as his greed or claws:
He slipped through the door and there in the silence
Snatched up thirty men, smashed them
Unkowing in their beds and ran out with their bodies,
The blood dripping behind him...

I like this part because it describes how sneaky and how his happy with his hunt that night.
