The students are to read chapters 1-2 of Beowulf and respond to the following:

20pts
Chapters 1-2 summarize the basic conflict of the story. We are given a very detailed description of the villain (Grendel). Using these events, write a journal entry from Grendel's perspective. Consider whether or not there is justification for his actions. You must discuss, in at least 2 well-organized paragraphs, your feelings about the men and why you are so angry. Write what you would say and think if you were Grendel.
