Beowulf
Beowulf reminds me of some people i know who can be very cocky and try to be as 'manly' as they can. This poem confused me a lot because I had a hard time with the language of the poem. This poem was definitely fictitious because no one I know can rip arms off of other people, but this poem put me in a manly mood and made me want to punch Beowulf in the face because I don't like people who are cocky. I feel like during this time this poem was one of the best written however, I had a hard time reading it due to the language. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys a poem about macho men kicking tail and taking names.

Hahahaha I love your attitude towards this story.
ReplyDeleteYou know, you just reminded me of that Snickers commercial in which the two guys in it accidentally kiss while eating a snickers bar, and say "Oh no! Quick!! Do something manly!" and then proceed to rip off a chunk of their chest hair.
I know, pretty random of me to mention that, but seriously, some men who want to be "manly" will really take it to the extreme....*cough cough* BEOWULF!!
Gosh!! have you ever met those guys that always seem to make them seem like the greates dude alive? Lately that has been what I have had to encounter..whatever!!!! Gosh they are like freaking Beowulfs! Reality Check! lol
ReplyDeleteThe story showed a lot of ego, in a larger then life type way. But I guess once someone acknowledges you for something, most men do seem to take it overboard. I know I take some things to an extreme and become extremely cocky about them. If you ever hang out with me you will see that I get cocky about my strength, and go on rants bout how I never lifted weights.
ReplyDeleteThe language was hard to read. I had a lot of troubles reading it. It was rather fictitious, but in reality a man can rip an arm of someone, it just depends on power, strength and technique.
