Module 2 Assignment 3

Not to make a joke out of an epic tale, but as I was reading this (especially at the end), I was reminded of Dr. Seuss's "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". After Grendel attacked the meadhall, the people just rebuilt the door and sang as if they were rejoicing. The fact that this made Grendel angry and retreat seems very similar to the classic children's story. I felt that it really demonstrated how monstrous Grendel really was. It also brought more light as to who his mother was. It was definately much easier to read than Beowulf. I enjoyed it.
