My favorite part of the story
And desperate, lifted it high over his head
And struck with all the strenghthe had left,
Caught her in the neck and cut it through,
Broke bones and all. Her body fell
To the floor, lifeless, the sword was wet
With her blood, and Beowulf rejoiced at sight.
I pick this part because Beowulf is fighting with grendels mother and i first i thought that he wasn't going to make it. But that he founf this sword and it's kind of cool how he kill's her with it.
Five things that I learn about Anglo Saxon
1. The first thing that Learn about anglo saxon is that their language was Old English. It was the language spoken under Alfred the Great and until after the Norman Conquest of 1066 when, under the influence of the anglo norman language spoken by the Norman ruling class it changed into Middle English.
2. Their were not of laws during that time. But if peole would something bad their punishment was that they wouold chopped off their hands or noses. And if someone would kill one of their people they would have to pay money.
3. They also had rekigion but the one that they would follow the most would have to be christianity.
4. Anglo Saxon also had art it is mainly known today through illuminated manuscripts.
5. Some literature genres included such as epic poetry, hagiography, sermons, Bible translations.
Goals that I had accomplishe....
One of my goals that I had accomplished is that I already bought myself a truck which means that I already accomplished my first goal in my list later on I would put a picture of the truck. Another goal that i already have accomplished would have to be that I'm still in my team at school even though I haven't gone to practices.
