2. Brad Pitt – Beowulf OJ Simpson – Grendel Elvis – Hrothgar Oprah – Grendel’s Mother Homer Simpson – Wiglaf David Westerfield - Dragon

3. “As now warriors sang for their pleasure: So Hrothgar’s men lived happy in his hall.” Hrothgar and his people were all very happy. They lived in a beautiful place in a nice town. I am the king!!!

4. Grendel enters the hall and “ Snatched up thirty men, smashed then unknowing in their beds and ran out with their bodies…” Grendel entered the mead hall at night and killed men when they were passed out. Everyone knows that they will die

5. “So Herot stayed empty and deserted for years” Hrothgar stayed in misery for 12 years. Grendel took over and stayed on his killing streak.

6. “In his far off home Beowulf…heard how Grendel filled nights with horror and quickly commanded a boat fitted out..”. Fourteen men set out to the Danish shore to help Hrothgar conquer Grendel.

7. “That trip to Herot was a miserable journey for the writhing monster!” Beowulf kills Grendel and brings back his arm, claw and shoulder. He is a hero among the Danes. I got you now Grendel!!!

8. Beowulf’s mother comes back to seek revenge on the Danes. After talking it over, Beowulf decides to go down in her under water lair to fight her. “Then he saw the mighty water witch and swung his sword, his ring-marked blade, straight at her head.” This is pay back time!

9. Beowulf defeats Grendel’s mother and all the other sea animals and emerges out of the lake a hero. He cuts off Grendel’s head and takes with him a magical sworld that was hanging on the wall. “Then that noble protector off all seamen swam to land, rejoicing in the heavy burdens he was bringing with him.” She is dead!!!!

10. “Beowulf rules Geatland for fifty years. Then a dragon menaces the kingdom.” Face it Beowulf, I am going to get you once and for all. You can never kill me! Beowulf is going to fight this evil dragon all by himself. He decided to let fate take its course.

11. Wiglaf comes to help Beowulf fight off the dragon. Beowulf is dying and wants Wiglaf to bring back the gold the dragon was hiding. Beowulf declares Wigaf the new king and then dyes. Beowulf is buried in a tower high on the waters edge. “And for the first time in his life that famous prince fought with fate against him.” HELP ME!!! I told you that you were going down. Wiglaf is here to save the day
