Beowulf Riddle Review

Both poetic and phonetic, Beowulf (the story) and Beowulf (the character) are this:

Tis this thing that talks to and tickles the teacher’s ear. You will ponder and prepare with the help of your peers.

It is this device you might use to call a person on a bicycle a pedal-pusher. Some that ride in gas-guzzling man wagons may also call them a tree-hugger.

Make sure that you know, take a long second to think, just how powerful a pause in your writing can be. Use this powerful device to let words marinate in the minds of your audience.

Oh, where did men find themselves good cheer and sing with loud voices? A place of protection where plans of the people blossomed. The beating heart of the realm!

Control the atmosphere and scene using this device by giving your words specific connotation like this:  The feelings of joy sprang from the refreshing water and flooded his heart as the tables of fortunes turned in Beowulf’s favor.

Like the blacksmith that wields the mighty hammer to shape metal into creation, an author will use meaningful words to convey attitude by using this:

The pride of the southern Swedes. The hero of the Danes. The protagonist. The upright and honorable. Who embodies everything that Grendel is not.

In the darkest corner of the mind, with hands clasped tightly over the ears, you will find this drooling creature.

Spirit of vengeance, hidden and feeding off the depths, hero or villain, who knows?
