Anglo-Saxon -VS- Beowulf.....

Beowulf was a very good story this is my second time reading it. The more you read it the better you understand it. What really stuck out to me was how brave Beowulf was sand how everybody looked to him. He never said " No i cant do that" and in the end it really came down to it he handled his business.
Such as his first battle in the story when he had to fight Grendel. He was very brave and had loyalty. He didn't fight with a shield or a sword. It was so crazy how Grendel reached for Beowulf and Beowulf graped his arm and sat up. He really had Grendel. shuck then, Beowulf ended up breaking Grendel's fingers. Then his life (Grendel) came to a end.
The second battle that Beowulf had to fight was Grendel's mother. He went all the way to the bottom of the earth under water to fight her. In the end Beowulf took the life of Grendel's mother. His last and final Battle was with the Dragon that one of his best friends stole a golden cup from. The dragon got very upset and started killing people. Beowulf being the person that he is said that he will fight the dragon. By now Beowulf is about 80 something years old at least. Beowulf wasn't on the right side fighting the Dragon but... He being as loyal as he is he did it anyway. In the process of fighting his sword broke, his shield melted and Beowulf was almost defeated. If it wasn't for his loyal worrier Wiglaf helping him to defeat this Dragon, Beowulf could have lost the battle and died.
The Romans were very good at protecting Britain from invaders and it ultimately fell. { He asked the Lord of Danes, protector of his people, for a favor, do not refuse those who have come so far the chance to cleanse Herot.} Beowulf is all about protecting his people from anything its nothing that he cant do. Germany and Jutes attacked what is now Denmark. { Morning warriors came from near and far to see the death of Grendel. His death man no worrier sad.} When Beowulf defeated Grendel everyone was so happy. Anglo-Saxon England was not very organized, they had many different Kings. None of the cultures or laws were the same. then everything changed when King Alfred of Wessex, defeated Danish Pirates also know as the vikings.{ Everyone rejoiced Beowulf. Saying there's no other like him that's warrior worthier to rule over men.} Everyone new he would make a great King. Beowulf illustrates Anglo-Saxon very well. They both have a King or Kings, they both are all about protecting their people and doing it themselves.
I believe that it is very easy to compare Beowulf to Superman. He is very strong can pick up cars, and kill people with his bear hands, such as Beowulf who has the strength of thirty men in his hands.{ But a warrior of Hygelac's heard of Grendel's doings; he was the strongest men alive in that day, mighty and noble.} Superman is very different from Beowulf to. Because no one really knows who super man is. He just pops up when someone needs help. Not Beowulf everyone knows Beowulf.{ They call on Beowulf once more to defeat Grendel's mother. No one dare go to her home. But if Beowulf is to win this battle he will be rewarded.} They always call on Beowulf there's nothing that he cant do.
I really didn't like the way the story ended. I just didn't like they way Beowulf died. He had never gotten hurt in any of his other battles better less basically get burned to death. I think it was really messed up that only one of his worriers helped him out also. If it wasn't for Wiglaf the story would have ended way different than it did.
I think it could have ended better. But i did like the way they did what he asked them to do before he died. Which was to build him a tomb on the edge of the water big enough for the sailors to see it from sea. They put the gold up that he died for inside of the tomb. His name lives on, he really helped a lot of people durning his days.
