I have a test tommorow over the anglo-saxon stuff. and I need help on a few things. can you tell me as mutch as you no about the seafarer , the coming of grendel ,the coming of beowulf ,the battle with grendel

thank you I will continue to look for stuff. if you want to move this go a head if its in the wrong spot. I just figured that It would get more attention here.

hmm we read beowolf last week in english class, it was an epic peom about a viking slaying a monster called grendal, and thats about it.

O.o

um... 2 questions come to mind.
1. Have you read the works...?
2. Were you supposed to have...?

I was about to ask the same thing.

Moved to the Tutorial section.

I assume these are excerpts from Beowulf. If so, have you reviewed over CliffNotes or Sparknotes (or both?) They can't replace reading the real thing, so if you didn't read what you were supposed to they can't help much but they are a good final-prep type guide for literature.

Uh.. well... ::cough:: GOOD LUCK!!! ::runs away::

They're parts from the beginning of Beowulf. If your test is tomorrow (today), you won't be able to retain much, so just review the sparknotes, your own notes (you have notes, right?) and eat a healthy breakfast (grains & healthy stuff, don't put cola in your serial, &c).

The best help we can give you is: don't drink soda before a test, and relax. (the sugar will give you a boost at the beginning of the test, but your insulin levels will rise in response, and you'll be low-energy from the middle of the test onward - where the questions are probably getting harder)

The poem "The Seafarer" it should be pointed out, is not an excerpt from Beowulf, but a stand alone work. You should probably have been given Pound's translation, since that's the most common one. If not it's easy enough to find a copy either on the web or in your school/public library. An excellent compilation BTW, of Anglo-Saxon verse is a book entitled "Anglo-Saxon Poetry", which contains most of the major poems from this period (excepting Beowulf).

Sooo...uh, sparten1056. How'd the test go?

I have not got my grade yet. but I at least go a C. if I did not I am going to be realy mad. well all I can say is that I tride my best and thats all I can do.
