    Here is an anti bullying poem written by Jon Evans: Identity–The Bully They all try to look the same

instead of trying to look cool
feel for the guy you make look a fool A cool identity isn’t a need

    Abraham Kabazie October 10‚ 2013 Religious Aspects in Beowulf Mr. Morgan Numerous references of Christianity can be found within Beowulf. Christian beliefs clash with pagan traditions and legends to form a unique style of writing that existed during the time period. God is mentioned frequently with a variety of different labels. Characters also remark upon biblical stories‚ giving the epic poem a relevant Christian vibe to it. But as much as Christianity is publicized to the reader‚ pagan

    An epic is a long‚ exalted narrative poem‚ usually on a serious subject‚ centered on a heroic figure. The earliest epics‚ known as primary‚ or original‚ epics‚ were shaped from the legends of an age when a nation was conquering and expanding; such is the foundation of Gilgamesh‚ of Homer’s the Iliad and the Odyssey‚ and of the Beowulf.

We of the Spear Danes in the past days...1 Immediately‚ however‚ this certainty becomes qualified: we are not part of an admiring audience to the glittering past‚ and have not heard of the gardena themselves

    the Greek ’ozium‚ ’ which means to breath‚ or air. Mandias comes from the Greek ’mandate‚ ’ which means to rule‚" notes Biterman in his analysis of the poem. The fact that the derivative of the great Ozymandias ’s name is Ruler of Air is where the irony begins. When one looks upon what was written on the base of the statue and then to what has become of that statue and all that surrounds it one sees how ironic that name really is. It is easiest to begin from the inscription on the base of the statue
