Forever Loyal
Multigenre Project
Letter from Beowulf
Dear Wiglaf,
To begin, we would like to thank you for your loyalty toward Beowulf. We recently learned about your incredible service that you showed for our leader. Although it may seem as if we see Beowulf as the hero of our civilization, you have not been overlooked. We are very appreciative of you following Beowulf to fight the dragon. We are even more appreciative and respectful of the fact that you stayed to help Beowulf, especially because you were the only warrior that did so. Without your help, the dragon would not have been defeated. An example of your loyalty is when you delivered the treasure to Beowulf and also when you sprinkled water on him. Because of your loyalty, you deserved the gold necklace that Beowulf gave to you. We believe that this gift was given to you as a symbol of power being given to you. The sacrifices that you were willing to give for Beowulf are other examples of your loyalty.
Sincerely,
GeatsBallad from Beowulf
Yo guys, check it out.
Beowulf vs Grendel’s mom
All of the Geats were beginning to doubt
Beowulf proved that he was the bomb
50 years later
The dragon comes around
He is Beowulf’s main hater
And it’s about to go down
This battle did not go as well as the last
Although Wiglaf was there to help
The dragon decided to put Beowulf in the past
All of the Geats could hear Beowulf yelp
Beowulf is now dead
He was the hero for many
Upon the ground lays his head
In the end Wiglaf took over and earned recieved pennyDear Reader
Dear Reader,
Over the past couple of months I having been reading and analyzing Story of Beowulf and The Canterbury Tales. I am glad that you are able to take part in this and also learn about these pieces of literature. While reading and creating this multigenre project, I have learned that authors present symbolism in many different ways. For example, in Beowulf, the author uses symbolism with Grendel’s head. Grendel’s head represents personal loss to Grendel’s mom. Something I did well in this project was my letter to Wiglaf. I think that this part of my project was successful because the letter was personal and connected to the story. Something that I do not feel as strongly about is my ballad. It was difficult to rhyme and use words that sounded well together. In the future, I would like to try creating a project that is a mixture of Beowulf and Canterbury Tales, not just one or the other. Thank you for visiting my blog!
