• Introduction to Beowulf--- Make the connection------------Quickwrite
– This is a story about a hero from the British poet; a hero who
faces, violence, horror, and even death to save a people in
mortal danger. This epic’s events took place many centuries
ago, but it still speaks to people today, perhaps because so
many of us are in need of a rescuer-a hero.
Quickwrite
– Take a moment to write about a contemporary hero, real or
imaginary and the challenges he or she faces. Describe your
hero, and then briefly analyze him using these questions:
1. What sort of evil or oppression does your hero confront?
2. Why does he or she confront evil? What’s the motivation?
3. For whom does he or she confront evil?
4. What virtues does your hero represent?
