 * Violence**

 * What are we going to do for this project?**
 * i was thinking about doing a "prezi". it's a website where you basically make a powerpoint on steroids. its hard to explain what it looks like, so here's an example. [] i really like this idea, it's pretty simple, its free, and we could all share an account and be assigned to do one slide each. if you guys __really__ want to this, i'll poke around and figure out how to work it and i'll assign us all slides to do so it's nice and easy for everybody. here's the link to the site: []

ASSIGNMENTS (YOU NEED TO DO THIS)
everyone is being assigned a set of lines to summarize. you also need to explain how the line represents the topic it is under. it should be two or three sentences. skimping it will only make your part look bad, so dont B.S. it. if you don't like your lines, __pick better ones yourself.__ once you've summarized, put it in your assigned bulletpoint (the little square)
 * representation of gore
 * lines 37-39 ELISSA
 * Lines 37 to 39 is when Grendel was attacking Herot. Grendel brutally kills 30 men, by snatching them up and "smashing them." Then when Grendel escapes with his unsuspecting victims, there is a bloody trail left behind. This represents gore because it goes into detail about Grendel brutally killing innocent men, with no mercy, and dragging their lifeless bodies to his den.
 * lines 181-184 CHAD
 * lines 299-300 SADIE
 * regularity of violence
 * lines 68-74 SIERRA
 * In these lines they say there is no truce and no price in gold or land. This shows how when fighting you dint give or accept a truce, you fight to win and become stronger. And no price in gold or money shows how when your fighting the only price you could possibly take is your life or your pride, money and land aren't important when fighting and if you are fighting for those reasons then your fighting for the wrong ones.
 * lines 79-81 RYAN
 * Lines 79-81 talk about how Grendel continued his rampage, killing man after man and relating to anglo-saxon time it relates to how they were always under attack by invaders and they always lived in fear and couldnt do a whole lot about the invaders, or " Grendel"
 * lines 108-112 HENRY
 * violence of Beowulf himself
 * lines 153-159 BOB
 * Beowulf is talking about how he defeated 5 monsters and he took them down one by one. He is perparing and proving to people that he is ready to fight grendal. He is proving his leadership and bravery by taking down these 5 monsters. Beowulf is also talking about the blood that was drawn during his battles.
 * lines 288-296 ANDY
 * Beowulf is talking about the beasts in the sea attacking him and how he hacks himself free with his sword. He also talks about how he fought that beasts last battle. This excerpt from the book shows how violent Beowulf is and how he goes to extreme measures to prove how corageous and violent he can be.
 * morality of violence
 * lines 215-225 JUSTIN
 * In this passage blood has drenched the Geats' great hall to represent all the death/bloodshed Grendel has caused the kingdom. These men have sacrificied themself for their kingdom, the dead will be honored in remembrance of their bravery. Yet, with all this death, comes joy and celebration from Beowulf defeating the monster. A dinner is being served for Beowulf in his honor to celebrate his victory and talk about his future.
 * lines 286-300 JOSH
 * The morality of violence is shown in this passage by the fact that Beowolf is so calm and collected during the time while he is killing these monsters. This sugests that he probably does this often. Beowolf has become acustomed to seeing and dealing out death. The fact that violence was such a big part of the Geats and the Danes culture is why violence was looked at as being morally correct and in some instances expected. Such as in these lines where Beowlulf is expected to kill these sea monsters and he does without any harm done to himself.
