Reading notes Week 12 Part B

Reading B was interesting to look at today. I especially got really into The Battle with Grendel. The Imagery was really vivid in that story. I liked how it explained that a spell kept the soldiers of the kingdom asleep. I do not know how that would have been possible that Beowulf was exempt from the spell but it was and the battle was intense. I especially liked the fact that it described Grendel in detail and I saw the image of Grendel grow as I continued to read. The fact that he became an uglier beast with every small detail that was added was enough for me to keep reading. I think for my story this week I have decided to recreate this story in my own way and make it another Alex the Reaper story. Possibly a new hero will come into the portfolio. There would be a lot of opening left for the last story if I decided to make another hero because then for the final story I would be able to make a heroes meeting story.
