Is there a thing such as true love? Everyone has their own opinion to this question. And there is no right or wrong answer it is just what you think and how you feel about it. My personal opinion is that there is such a thing as true love, if you find the right person that shares a common interest and makes you happy at all times and someone that you want to be with there Is such thing as true love. There has to be someone out there that is right for you. You just have to find that person it might take a long time to find that person and you might not ever find that person. You might spend your whole life looking for this person or you might find them in college or high school it just depends. Once you find that person you will know that you have found true love. I believe that true love exists in a family setting too because you love your family unconditionally and will always love them you are a family and are true love at all times, or true love can be in a relationship where each side loves the other just as much that would be considered true love to me.
Is Beowulf an epic hero? Some traits of an epic hero are Brave, courageous, selfless, strong and a great warrior those are some traits that a true epic hero have. I think that Beowulf posses all of the characteristics that a hero must have. Beowulf Is a good warrior in battle this is shown in the story by saying that he has killed monsters before so that he wasn’t scared to take on Grendel because he has fought monsters before and knows what it takes to kill them. Beowulf shows that he is brave because he travels to a place knowing that he might be killed in a battle he is willing to do this because he is courageous and wants to do a good thing for others he is willing to sacrifice so that way the men that Grendel is killing can be safe. This is just some of the many great characteristic that a hero must have that Beowulf has. Beowulf was willing to do something that many other people would not do, many people would run from this situation and do their best to avoid it will a hero like Beowulf would do the exact opposite as Beowulf did they would go right to the problem and take care of it in a heroic manner showing how brave and courageous he truly is, that Is why I see Beowulf as a true epic hero.
Epic Hero: 1) Brave 2) Strong 3) Courageous 4) Makes Sacrifices 5) Willing to give their life Beouwulf:
1) Great warrior 2) brave 3) Wants better for others 4) Fearless 5) Strong in battle Grendel In the book Beowulf is a monster, he is a monster because he is evil and does not care about others lives and can take a man’s life because jealousy, Grendel kills men so easily because of his blood lust. Both Grendel and his mother are monsters. They would both be considered monsters but they are monsters in different ways. Grendel in my opinion would be more of a monster because of his blood lust, while his mom is a monster because she still had the urge to kill them but she does not get pleasure out of it like Grendel does. Previous in the book Grendel was killing men out of jealousy and getting pleasure out of it so a hero named Beowulf came in to save the men that Grendel was killing, the only way to save them was to kill Grendel, Beowulf killed Grendel in a fight and ripped off his arm this gave his mother a reason to kill so that makes her less of a monster because she killed out of revenge, while Grendel would kill the men out of pure jealousy. The biggest reason why Grendel mother wouldn’t be considered a monster is because she only killed one man while Grendel killed many. This is how I would compare the two monsters, Grendel does it for fun while his mom does it for revenge.
I Believe that the schools of today are preparing us for the real world depending on how you treat school and how you prepare your own self, if you take challenging classes that will better your future and prepare you for college and beyond then yes school is preparing for your future. Especially at Mount Pleasant where we have the tech center and you can take classes based on what you want to go into. For instance I want to go into finance so I take accounting classes so that way I can be more prepared for the future and for college. If you are not taking school seriously and taking a bunch of easy classes then no you are not being prepared for the future. One way that school is not preparing of for the future is by making us take classes like chemistry where if you are not going into a science field you will never use again, those classes should be an elective to take only if you consider that as a future career. Me personally I want to face the future and see what else life has to offer and get as many memories as possible. I do however believe that some people do not want to face the future because they do not know what to expect because they have not properly prepared, if you have done everything that you can to make sure that your future is how you want it then you should have no issue with facing the future.
Beowulf makes the long journey across the sea to the land of the Danes to assist their people and try to kill Grednel who is killing them; he goes to save them because he has killed monsters before so he is confident that he will be able to kill Grendel. When Grendel comes up to Beowulf he pretends that he is sleeping and tricks Grendel into believing that he is just a regular person that is sleeping but when Grendel gets close Beowulf rips Grendel’s arm off. Grendel kills so many men at first because he is jealous of them having a good time; he then gains a blood lust so that is the reason why he continues to kill so many men. Beowulf hangs Grendel’s are from the rafters at Herot because he wants to show the village what he has done to Grendel.
Two of the main characters in the book Beowulf are Grendel and Beowulf. The differences in Grendel and Beowulf Is that Grenel are this antagonist and Beowulf is the Protagonist in this story. Grendel is a monster, he is evil “hell forged hands” that lives under the mead hall. In this story Beowulf is the hero, he is the hero because he kills monsters and is very noble, Beowulf also has many characteristics that a hero should have such as the fact that he is fearless, selfless and a great warrior. The fact that Beowulf has already killed monsters makes him not afraid of Grendel. Grendel has different trades Grendel is an evil character he kills the Danes due to the fact of his blood lust, he finds enjoyment in it. Grendel is also a very angry character he lives his life full of heat and jealousy. These characterizes that Grandel have are very different from the characteristics that the hero Beowulf has.
The definition of evil can mean many different things to different people. To me this is what evil is. Evil people can be hidden behind fake smiles, they show people that they are going to do well for them and then go behind their back and will harm you. Evil people will want to do much harm to them and do not wish the best for others. Many people who are evil will not show you right of the bat they will hide it from you and use you. The real life monsters are people that are serial killers or harm children, in this case they also act like they will be good for you and then once they gain your trust they turn on you and are only there to hurt you and do badly for you. This is what the definition of evil means to me, like I said evil can mean many things to different people.
What makes a hero? Many people view heroes as cartoon characters such as superman, batman or someone like the incredible hulk. People may also see a professional athlete or a celebrity as a hero. In my opinion a real hero is someone that will do something that no one else will or few will. Another way someone could be a hero is to make life better for you in whatever way that may be. An example of a hero would be a firefighter; while everyone is running out of the burning building this few men and women are a true hero by going into the burning building to help save people and or stuff. A hero will risk their life to save others.
Does Fate control our lives? In my opinion fate does not control your life; you control your own fate. In America nothing in this life is predetermined the family that you grow up with does not determine how well you do in school. You control your own fate by what you do with your life and the things that you personally do to make your future better. In some ways your fate might be predetermined, the only case that I can think of would be your health. A genetic disease may be just your fate, you can do things to help prevent it but it will still always be in your genes. But as far as your success in life, you have complete control over that. What you do in your early years often decides what the rest of your life will be like. The things that are important in life are things that people do not usually think are important, when thinking of important things people usually think of stuff such as money, cars, clothes and a big house. Yes those things are enjoyable to have, but what I think are best to have is people that care for you a nice family that is always there for you no matter what. The reason that it is important in life to have a caring family that is there for you and wants the best for you is because half of the time you will be around these people so it makes it easier if it is enjoyable and makes you happy. People think that having the job that makes the most money is the best, but you could bring in six figures but not be happy with the life that you and your family live. Another thing in life that is important is to love yourself and believe in yourself, you have to love yourself before anyone else can. If every morning you hate that you have to go to work and all you can think about is how terrible your job is and that you just want anything but that job it will make for a miserable day. You want a job that you enjoy and that you want to wake up in the morning and go to. Yes having money, cars, clothes and a big house would be nice but there are plenty of things in this life that are 100 times more important than that.
