Analyze the Text

A) The squire and the knight differ in their exp>
B) I think that the Squire wants to follow in his fathers footsteps. He just doesn’t have the experience that his Father has yet. Line 101 says, “And carved to serve his father at the table.” I think that line may be referring to his desire to please his father. Following his father’s lead would make him proud.

A tavern is a place that people from all walks of life frequent. It is the perfect place for a gathering of people from lower, middle, and high classes of society.

Reflect on the Text

I found Beowulf difficult. I had to reread it several times and use the notations to help me understand it.

I was surprised at the vivid imagery that I had reading about soldiers from the perspective of the mud, The Song of the Mud.
