Personal Narrative : My Best Friend

Hrothgar reminds Beowulf that Heremod’s “rise in the world brought little joy to the Danish people, only death and destruction.” (1711/1712) Because Heremod “vented his rage on men he caroused with” and “killed his own comrades” in his “bloodthirsty” pursuit, he “suffered in the end for having plagued his people for so long” and his life consequently “lost happiness.” (1713-1722) Through Hrothgar’s discourse, Heremod fully emerges as a vilified character. Now, Beowulf has been provided with the opportunity to hear Heremod’s story twice. Beowulf’s lack of response either to the mention of Heremod seems indeed to mark him as the “undaunted hero.” (1816) While Beowulf might not respond to this rising forewarning, his impending honorable actions toward Geatland begin to speak for themselves.

Its a combo of a few things for me. First I started by downloading the app "Myfitness Pal" by underarmer (the free one of corse). There you plug in your current weight and then your goal weight, and it give you a "calorie limit" to kind of start off with. Then I did some research on healthier breakfast and lunch choices (leaving dinner to eat shit food lol but within the calorie limit). So for example I would eat oat meal for breakfast with almond milk instead of regular milk, or toast with avocado instead of a bagel with butter. I also carried that into my lunchs at work (let alone I started packing them, so that really helped). But for the first moth or so I wouldn't change my dinners, on the amount, to stay within the calorie limit, this way I could still enjoy food I wasn't willing to give up.

The majority of the the medieval population was part of the commoner class. Commoners included peasants and townspeople. They typically ate homemade cheese, curds, and creams. The vegetables they ate included parsley, leeks, and cabbage.

Clashing swords against hardened scaly skin, dragons, monsters, blood and gore, feast of drunken celebrations and tales of legendary personal feats- these are the ideas that engross our minds when imagining the Scandinavian-Anglo-Saxon literature. Yet these classics, as beautifully and memorable the words flow, have been touched by the minds of many hands, of many cultures, causing differing and opposing ideology inflicted on main characters. Such as, in Beowulf, where he is depicted as both heroic yet iniquitous, depending on which battle one reads. Beowulf character’s contrasting facets come in part of the two cultural and religious doctrines, Christians Anglo-Saxons and Norse Scandinavians, which took apart in rewriting the epic poem.

Living in the medieval time period was not as glamorous as it is often portrayed; peasants and serfs led hard lives, however, kings, lords, and knights lived lavishly and at the expense of those under them. In this paper you will read about all of these lifestyles, as well as the castles in which these lords and kings lived in. Mainly castle designs, fortifications, and siege tactics will be revealed to you; yet there are several sections, dealing with the lifestyles of the above mentioned, leading up to that.

In the distance, the sound of wolves howling at the beautiful crescent-shaped moon and the crickets chirping from all directions could all be heard so clearly. We made our way back to the village after our trip back from the hunting we did the night before. The air was rigid and cold and had left a couple of our men frostbitten. The mighty Beowulf accompanied us to ensure we’d catch good game. The mead-hall was certainly buzzing with noise today, so much so that not too far from the treeline I could hear my favorite place to gather at, as Beowulf and I along with some of the other men walked back. The building was filled with my fellow comrades all sharing stories of their past grim adventures, while guzzling gallons

I agree with Professor Stone, when he talked about the violence in The Old Testament, granted in just about every story told in The Old Testament there is a war or some other type of violence. He talks about Pharaoh of Egypt for instance and how he considered himself to be God and he appointed top rulers in about 30 towns of Canaan. Pharaoh sent the Egyptians to Canaan and the surrounding towns and stripped them of their best workers and made them out of salves. Moses by Gods hand freed them from the Pharaoh and was tasked to bring the children of Israel to the promise land. Moses got upset when he came off of the mountain and saw the Israelites worshiping false gods. He broke the Ten Commandments into 1000 pieces and this made God displeased.

It states that many invasions have occurred within the region. It states that Beowulf murdered the Swedish queen.Summary(ch 32). Which suggest the wars that have been fought were very personal and deadly. Another piece that suggest that is that when Beowulf approached the guard was very weary.Summary(ch 3).

Word of Grendel, killer of Danes, spread through the breaths of the lord’s people. The naivety of Aeschere’s son put

Saeldur absently watched as the animals passed by his bow spread across his lap while his mind dwelled upon other matters, instead of hunting. ‘What would mother do?’ This conclave happening in the south, it was important, and he knew she was considering sending someone to watch its preceding’s. It certainly would be nice if the conclave brought about change. Because of this war between the Mages and Templars, they’d moved more times than he liked to count. While the human settlement of Kuala had nearly been wiped out when a group of rebel Mages moved there for shelter.

Weight training is vital to your sports performance, because if you are matched with someone in skill, then it will take speed, power, and strength to defeat your opponent on the court, field or in the ring. Some athletes even coaches and trainers get confused with the deference between,bodybuilding or muscle building vs. weight training for strength and power for specific sports. For example having huge muscular legs does NOT mean you can jump very high, or run very fast; increased jumping ability comes from being able to lift with speed. If the weight continues to increase and the speed stays the same, power and vertical jumping ability will increase only if you maintain your body weight. When using weight lifting for sports the main goal is to improve and strengthen movements in your sport.

Think of your favorite thing in the world to do. Something that defines you. Something that you can only experience from your eyes. For me it is soccer, and through that came a rite of passage that will be with me forever.

With recreational drugs becoming more common in our society, the public is growing more concerned with the negative effects of these substances, especially the effects of marijuana. Those who do not know enough about drugs generally think that “marijuana is bad for you” or “marijuana can kill people”. Although these preconceived notions do not often have scientific data as backup, there have also been multiple studies supporting the claims that marijuana is detrimental to people´s health. Even though today many people, especially teenagers, do support the legalization of marijuana, this recreational drug is detrimental to health because it affects motor skills, mental abilities, and suppresses motivation, and therefore should not be

When you were still in the kindergarten, friends were the people who romped about with you, played mischievous tricks upon everyone. When you were getting bigger, perhaps at primary school, friends were the people who helped you in your homework, who sung with you at the school choir. Had you forgotten them? Had you betrayed them? Are you a good friend to your friends? A true friend would always tell you the truth, be you best partner when you need him, most of all, support you.

It was Tuesday, July 18th. I was a nervous wreck. In desperate need of clothes to wear to impress... her. I begged my best friend Todd to join me at Woodfeild mall. He gave in and we went. Todd and I shopped for hours. Nothing looked good enough for...her. We were running out of time. I made-do with four short sleeve shirts from Champs and two pairs of sweatpants shorts from h&m. The total came out seventy dollars. We walked out and got into Todds car. I was shaking the entire ride home. Will she like it? Am I going to look fat? What about my acne? What if she doesn’t end up liking me? Nothing else crossed my mind as we pulled up to my house and I was dropped off. There was around an hour and a half until I had to leave. I walked inside
