Focus on the celebration at Heorot (lines 1191-1382). Write a "stream of consciousness (random thoughts that would just occur in her mind) " narrative from Wealtheow's point of view. Include her impression of everything up to this point: her hopes and dreams for the future, her reaction to Beowulf's 1st battle, her response to the celebration and so on. They don't have to be complete sentences just thoughts. For example, "My that man is big. If anyone can save us surely it must be him. I wonder if I cooked enough beef. They sure look hungry."
Retell the events in lines 1383-1816 from Unferth's point of view. Consider his background, his original jealousy, his own fears and his change in attitude.
Okay, I'm definetly working on Wealtheows point of view! "I wonder if I cooked enough beef..." Classic. I love it!
ReplyDeleteThe celebration feast
ReplyDeleteBeowulf is very brave, I’m so thankful he came to help protect our land. We no longer have to worry about any more attacks in the middle of the night. I need to prepare the drinks before the guests arrive, I wonder what they would like to drink. Is the table all set and ready to eat? Oh good, the guests are here, and here comes Beowulf himself! I hope he likes the gifts we have bought him, I tried my best to find things he would treasure for a long time, but you never know what someone will or will not like. I hope the warriors like the feast I have prepared, it took me all day to make. I’m glad everyone’s having a good time and enjoying themselves with out the danger of Grendel around any more. These men are quite hungry! I hope I have made enough food for them all. Its time to give Beowulf his gifts. I am very nervous, I hope he likes it. Oh, good! He seems to be very pleased with the presents. Well, now its time for everyone to head back home, its getting late. I’m very thankful towards Beowulf that we can sleep with out fear of another attack now that the danger is gone… or is it.
Great job Amy! "The danger is gone....or IS IT?" lolz
