Connection
When you go through something that my mom went through, you see how much strength you really have and I never imagined that she could be as strong as she was.
Themes
In Sleeping beauty, Aurora's fate was decided for her at a young age. She was to prick her finger on her 16th birthday and she would then fall into a deep sleep and only true love's kiss would wake her. Just like it was Beowulf's destiny to kill Grendel, both of their fates were decided, and couldn't be changed.
Deadly Battle-
In The Hobbit at The Battle of the Five Armies, a battle scene takes place and many died. They didn't run from the battle, they went in to fight to gain honor. Just like how in Beowulf, how he bravely went to fight Grendel, risking his own life to do so.
Bravery-
In the movie, the Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen shows great bravery going into the Hunger Games, knowing there wasn't a good chance of her coming out alive. This is like Beowulf, because he showed tremendous amounts of bravery to fight Grendel and his mother.
