Western Lit (4/24/06) FINAL
"My apologies for the lack of class last week, guys. If any of you actually spent the time studying... I'd be very surprised. I wouldn't've. But then, I'm a depressed, semi-alcoholic novelist who can't publish a novel and is forced to make ends meet as a high school English teacher."
"You may be completely unsurprised to learn that I will not be renewing my contract for this summer or next fall. This will be our last class together."
"Anyway, your final projects are due. Please make your presentation based on your written final project." [from the Syllabus]
"I will post your grades as soon as they are completed."

Re: Turn in your project
The story of Beowulf was written by an anonymous author, originally in Old English around the tenth century. It tells the tale of a nearly indestructible hero named Beowulf who, for the sake of riches and fame, protects the common people from a monster that had been terrorizing them for twelve years. The story was likely heavily influenced by the times, when the kings of England only recognized the wealthy and educated, and neglected the poor. So, with stories much like Robin Hood, they recited stories that narrated about a hero who protected the people with little difficulty. It was like their hope back then, and the story has managed to survive over thousands of years.
