Angolo Saxons

of strings of kings that have fought for their people in many good ways and adventures.
The thing in this story that really got my attention was when the king Hrothgar was under attack by Grendel a dragon that’s known to the Danish people as a demon. Grendel took warriors for himself as a way to prove and show the Danish people his strength:
The story about Beowulf is a story that consists of war and violence throughout a born society that knows defense. This story in my opinion was real weird and fierce, because the Danish people fought each other and also dragons. It tickles me to know that once you’ve lived your long journey, the Danish people always made sure your body arouse wealth. These people gave out treasury for support and image wise. This story also composes
At Dawn when the Danes learned of Grendeld strength, there was great weeping the old king sat sadly crying for his men. Bloody footprints were found. Grendel killed more then blinded by sin, he felt no remorse. So Grendel ruled fighting right, one against many, while the greatest hall stood empty at night. (Episode 2)

When Grendel invaded the king’s hall, I thought he’d be through for sure, but he wasn’t. This made the story get real interesting and it also made myself as a reader and the Danish people aware of the evils of Grendel’s actions. When Beowulf was introduced in the story, his characteristics were promising as a leader and a warrior. For example in the story they said he was the most strongest and mighty then anyone. I thought at first that Beowulf was going to fail just like the others, but in ways he did, but he tried and was not afraid, that’s what made him promising. Grendel also said, " he didn’t fear the dragon’s war he trusted his strength and courage since he had survived many battles."(Episode 10)

The other part in this story that surprised me was when Beowulf decided to protect the son of Hrothgar. I wonder why he would do that? Then again I thought about it, Beowulf is a kind-hearted person with a lot of strength, he’s a protector in my eyes. This story engages in many fights and test to prove you're strong and willing to beat a dragon. To me it seems as if the Kings were the only ones brave enough. Finally I can say that this story was not the easiest thing to read, but there's lots things that I've learned which is keep trying. That came from Beowulf always saying he can do it either way it goes.

This looks very good, but you still have sections 2, 3, and 4 to go.
