They made us study Beowulf.



At least everyone knows Beowulf is a mythic poem. Too many accept the
bible as "real."

My English teacher seemed to think it was real, or at least far more
significant that I thought it was.

On the other hand my Latin teacher thought Gallic Wars was the I
Ching. Analysing it did make Latin more interesting tho so maybe it
was a good teaching tool.

They couldn't get me interested in Beowulf.

Should have had my English teacher. She made Beowulf a fantastic
experience. First reading the poem, with sound effects, and a few side
comments.
