Below in the utter darkness of filth and despair lived a hideous monster by the name of Grendel. In Grendel's world, love hath no presence, love hath no patience, love hath no existence; for his lair, his murky lair, represented nothing but hate and evil. Meanwhile life above Grendel's visceral hole of slime and funk, lived the warriors of King Hrothgar's realm. The contrast was remarkable to say the least. Each day music rang throughout this land of beautiful plains marked by clear blue oceans, vividly open skies, and vastly celestial mountains.

The rage of Grendel hinged on bitter hate that boiled within. His jealousy was similar to the type experienced in the rivalry of Cain versus Abel; a hate that magnified hollow impulses of evil victory over good. "How can they have so much, while I (Grendel) have so little? Why do they live in ecstasy, while I live here in the treacherous bowels of hell?" Grendel conspires to end this treachery, this epitome' of unfairness that pervades every aspect of his miserable existence. One night; one viciously wonderful night, Grendel would wreak vengeance and tear apart the culprits of his utter disdain.

# data[].attributes.body
Finally, the wrath was too much to contain; the hatred too deep; the music and sounds of happiness too gut-wrenching. Grendel moved with the speed of lighting and the sound of thunder upon Herot, the mead hall of frolicking joy. He crashed the scene as he burst through the doors, seeking flesh and craving blood. He captured and killed every human in sight on that treacherous and deadly night, and when he left, no one dared rejoice out of fear of a possible return. He would gain great satisfaction in his conquest and return to repeat his murderous rampage night after night for 12 years in succession. All was not good for the once joyful Hrothgar warriors, but alas, a future sighting of redemption would soon be on the horizon. Beware dear Grendel, Beowulf will soon be here to end your reign of terror!

In an old village somewhere in Scandinavia, there lurked a hideous creature who went by the name of Grendel. He lived off of flesh and blood from anyone nearby that he could call his victim. They have been terrorized by Grendel for decades. Blood was scared in the minds of the people. Grendel knew that he could strike fear into just about anyone. That's what gave him so much power. And this power drove him to kill anything in sight. No one would ever dare stand up to him, they knew it wouldn't end well. The villagers of Heorot could only live in fear, as that was their only option to survive.

The mysterious lake made me feel like someone was watching me. The water held secrets of its own and had a wistful way about it, almost as if it was longing for someone to jump in so it could engulf the person with its coldness. Gazing out to the shoreline I could see the abundant amount of trees that stretched out into the distance, each tree shrinking the further it went. There was an eeriness about this lake, I felt it in my bones, by the way the water was silent and that the wind was whispering in my ear. I looked at the emptiness of the lake and wondered how I got here, without a soul to be heard.

After finally hitting land after the treacherous journey, the Geats' finally smelled the fresh air of Hrothgar’s kingdom. They felt the cold breeze coming from the sandy shore as they entered the glorious kingdom. Feeling the hard ground on their knees, the Geats knelt down and prayed, thanking God for a safe journey. Their excitement came to a halt as an unknown figure came upon them, blocking their path.

The man was a brick wall, impossible to get through. He greeted the men with suspicion, questioning why they were there. They didn’t appear to be foes, as they landed in broad daylight. They didn’t appear to be friends, as they didn’t come with permission nor a password. “You! Tell me your name, And your father’s” he demanded. Beowulf jumped on the opportunity to declare his purpose and his power; he insists that he is only there to defeat the monster that was terrorizing the kingdom. The man quickly changed his duty from blocking the men to welcoming them with open arms.

The Geats came to a quick stop as they were interrogated by the watchman on the beach of Denmark. Once trust had been established, the watchman and the Geats came to an agreement: the watchman watches the ship but they have to protect the kingdom. Beowulf and the Geats agreed to his agreement. Beowulf tells the King that he will protect them from Grendel. As the Geats began sleeping that night, Grendel marched up into the sleeping hall, like he had always done, and began to fill his belly. Unlike previous attempts, a new obstacle stood in his path. Beowulf. His pure strength made up for his lack of weapons, and the battle between Beowulf and Grendel begins.

Grendel feared to come upon Beowulf again. He thought about retreating to the dark hole of his home to hide from Beowulf. Little did he know that his killer claws would be caught on something. He was now trapped and was going to have to see the warrior Beowulf once again without a defense mechanism.

Beowulf had finally caught Beowulf. Beowulf made the long journey home as Grendel was twisting and turning along the way. As they arrived to Herot, everyone was in terror from the monster being so close to them. Grendel's throat was torn out in pieces. The warriors came to help Beowulf fight Grendel, but there was no harm being done to him. Grendel began to bleed profusely everywhere. He was dying slowly in pain.

The fighting was finally over. Grendel was no longer a threat to Hrothgar and the kingdom. There was no more suffering. Beowulf was proud of his accomplishments and hung Grendel's arm up. He wanted to show off his "trophy." Although Grendel has been killed, there may be some issues in the future. Grendel's mother might come to Herot to get revenge for her son.

Cliffs, wolf dens where water pours from the rocks, then runs underground, where mist steams like black clouds, and the groves of trees growing out over their lake are all covered with frozen spray, and wind down snakelike roots that reach as far the water and help keep it dark. At night that lake burns like a torch. No one knows its bottom, no wisdom reaches such depths. Beowulf killed Grendel's mother in extreme hand to hand combat. Beowulf went into the lake to battle the mighty and powerful monster. She ripped, scratched, tore, and cut, but that did not stop Beowulf. He was able to find a sword and cut Grendel's mother's neck, causing her to flop down as a big, ugly pile of bones. Beowulf was delighted by the sight of yet another monster cold and dead on the ground. In conclusion, Beowulf has killed Grendel and Grendel's mother, which caused the town of Herot to feel more peaceful. Beowulf is a true hero and does an excellent job protecting his people. I think that Beowulf will encounter another monster, later in the epic poem, that will give him a run for his money.

Patriotism is the pride one has in their country and their willingness to fight for it, in battle and in any way they can. Today this involves people fighting in the army, but also helping people through applying their strengths.

This value was especially important centuries ago, as country's fought physical wars more often and the strength of a country directly had to do with the strength of its people and its army.

Standing Up to Absolute Power (Paragraphs 1-3)

# data[].attributes.body
Taking place in England in 1215, the rebellion of the English barons against their king resulted in a major change that would play a leading role in future rebellions for years to come. At this point in time, the country was ruled by a king in full control over land property through something called the feudal system. Through this system, the king would lease land to barons in return for loyalty, rent money, taxes, and the provision of knights. The barons would then lease this land to the knights while they were not fighting or preparing for battle, thus making barons even richer and more powerful. This meant the king was at the top of the feudal pyramid, leaving barons and knights respectively to follow after him, and then leaving serfs, villeins, or peasants at the bottom.

King John made many destructive decisions that hurt the country of England as well as its citizens. He went to war while the country was weakened and still recovering from a previous war, and he ended up losing once again at the cost of many lives. He accumulated a large debt on top of the debt already formed before he was king, so his solution was to increase taxes on the barons as well as raise the rent cost of their lands. The barons had enough of their king making foolish decisions and making them pay the consequences for it, so they resisted. Based on textual evidence from the story, I can infer that King John's choice to arrest and attack the barons that resisted was the last straw for many of the barons, further influencing rebellion and the creation of their own army. I can also infer that because the archbishop sought to negotiate peace with the barons before the war began, England's leaders knew that they couldn't fight against this rebellion and win.

What they didn't know was that this peace negotiation, later known as the Magna Carta, would soon become the foundation of many further rebellions across the globe. At the time, they never would've known that their decision to not overthrow the king but to instead limit his authority, would change the idea of how a ruler attains power forever. I predict that the concept that a ruler's power is only permitted through the consent of the governed will continue to be a key factor in revolutions and future governments. Based on personal experience, it has played a key factor in many American revolutions throughout history. It also played an influential role in limiting government control during the writing of America's constitution.

All throughout The Canterbury Tales, we see the presence of many different qualities within characters that help showcase humor in humanness. Hypocrisy is used to highlight the personal traits that encourage people to preach one thing while practicing something totally different. The preaching part is usually something good; like parents teaching their children to never cheat or steal. The concept of irony is woven throughout the story to also show humor in the differences between the ideal and real traits of the characters. The practice part happens when these very same parents justify cheating on their taxes or stealing insignificant items while no one is looking. In the "Canterbury Tales", Geoffrey Chaucer uses characters like the Nun to show humor through hypocrisy, and he uses characters like the Monk to show humor through irony. This humor sparked by Chaucer was meant to unconsciously expose the sins of high-ranked church officials to the readers.
