    Beowulf Reaction Paper The animation used for the movie‚ Beowulf was simply superb. I thought the characters were human but after a while‚ I noticed that they move quite differently so I learned that it was actually a motion captured film‚ like the ones used in Polar Express and Monster House. The effects were good‚ and the characters really looked like the actors who played them. It’s amazing what technology can do these days. As for the story‚ I think some scenes are really violent and brutal

    Comparison and Contrast Although epic poems boast the qualities of their heroes‚ there are minor differences. In the poems Beowulf and Ulysses‚ they express the journeys of two epic heroes.

    The English language is full of nondescript‚ emotionless words that fail to convey any meaningful feelings. To get around this shortcoming many old English writers like the one that wrote Beowulf use kennings to create an emotionally evocative word with the meaning of the emotionless word. In Beowulf the author uses the kenning‚ “It would keep the bone-cage of his body safe” to provide a more descript and emotionally charged description than the word skeleton would create if used in the sentence
