Letter From a Mad Women

Dear Macbeth,



No Longer can I sleep soundly at night. The guilt of this crime is tearing me apart. Macbeth how can this be? You act as if nothing wrong has been comitted, As me I can't sleep, the dark frightens me, this guilty conscience of mine, has betrayed me, Macbeth, I think we shall confess of this crime, I am restless I shall speak the truth, WE have murdered Banquo!

Sincerely,
Lady Macbeth

Beowulf Favorite...

My favorite Scene from Beowulf was line 329-336
"to hell he would go, swept groaning and helpless
To the waiting hands of still worse fiends.
Now He discovered -once the afflictor
of men,tormentor of their days-What it meant
To feud with Almighty God: Grendel
Saw that this strenght was deserting him, his claws
Bound fast, Higlac's brave follower tearing at
His hands"

I liked this because, well i dont really know why I was just like WOAH!!
when i read this, so I chosed it.

anglo-saxon times

Well the things that I found of interest were


  • Architecture

  • Art

  • Language

  • Religion

The Architecture was generally simple, buildings where constructed using timber. The Anglo-Saxons built small towns near centers of agriculture.



Old English, sometimes called Anglo-Saxon, was the language spoken under Alfred the Great and continued to be the common language of England.


The Religion of the Anglo-Saxons was a christian belief.



Goals Acomplished

Well in da last couple of weeks I have looked back and I can say what I have accomplished is very little. I accomplished my goal of playing less video-games, mayne because all my games got boring, but anywho, I dont Play as much Video-games anymore. Another goal is that I am being more responsible with my things and everything that I do and needs to be done

Beowulf poem

Wulfgar went to the door and adressed
the waiting seaferers with soldiers' words.
Beowulf arose, around him where his men
few remain with weapons
others follow along, under Herots steep roof,
Into the presence of Hrothhgar
standing in the hearth
Greet the Danes great Lord
"Hail Hrothgar" my King
Higlac my cousin;
days of youth, filled with glory
Grendels Name Echoes the land
Sailors bring us stories
Meat-hall, simply the best of them
Deserted and Useless
when the moon hangs in the skies the sun lit.
Now Light and Life flee togheter
