    Soccer is the universal sport. For those who love what everyone outside the USA calls "football‚" there is no more beautiful game than the one played with one’s feet.

    In the reading of Beowulf‚ it is clear that the author is the moral compass that directs the poem and keeps this mindset through the whole story. With doing outside research I noticed different scholars frequently question whether or not the author was writing with his Christian faith as the mainstream of his work. Many would say Beowulf is somewhat of a Christ figure. Grendel is also what man may call the devil. This somewhat contradicts the common census of this actual piece being pagan theology

    Beowulf Movie Critic Do you envision a strong female role or a male role as your hero? In my opinion the Beowulf movie was a thumbs up‚ due to Angelina Jolie’s use of seduction and female wiles. Angelina is a critical character who drives the plot. In the movie‚ her character of Grendel’s mother overshadows Beowulf‘s character as a hero. This is in drastic contrast to the original poem ‘Beowulf’ because in the original‚ women were not valued and they had no important role. Grendel’s mother differs
