- Did you look for your college essay prompt? Tomorrow we will begin discussing the college essay.
- Beowulf - bee mindful ; )
- As you read, keep in mind that Beowulf was written as a Geatish story-manual on what it means to be a good king, what it means to be chivalrous. Keep your eyes on places in the text where you see this explicit ("Behavior that's admired is the path to power among people everywhere.") and where implicit (Beowulf not grasping the throne from the rightful heir even when it's "lawfully" offered him).
- Beo-wulf - possibly a kenning for "bee-wolf," "bee-hunter." Any guesses?
- Heorot - hart
- Unferth - un-peace
