For November 16 (Thursday) you have to hand in a 150 word composition on ONE of the topics below (you can mix several if you want). Use the information and handouts provided by me to do it. Write three paragraphs:
-Introduction (mention the topic you have chosen and why you chose it).
-Body (main ideas, include examples to support your points).
-Conclusion (recap of the most important idea(s)).
Topics (choose one):
1. Do you agree with the action against Grendel you were assigned for Global Classrooms mock conferences? Why? What action would you have preferred to defend?
2. In many ways, Beowulf is the precursor of the modern superhero in later stories. What modern stories do you think reflect the same mythological elements used in Beowulf?
3. Is Beowulf a good warrior? And a good king?
4. In what way(s) can Grendel and Grendel´s mother be considered human?
5. What is a hero for you? Are heroes still necessary nowadays? Name someone you consider a hero and explain why s/he is a hero for you.
6. Write the story from Grendel´s point of view. (In this case you don't have to follow the outline above, anyway use paragraphs to separate different events or situations in the story).
