Gobble, Gobble, RUN!!!!

Once upon a time in a very scary, very secluded town called Salem,

There live a school of some what Peaceful Turkeys.

They went to school everyday and always had fun together but that all changed when the Goblins attacked!

The Goblins were very big and scary creatures, they would steal the young turkeys lunch money and during a very peculiar time of the year they would go into the the turkeys school and take five chubby turkeys to eat. Now the Turkeys had a very stern and caring Principal named Mr. Turk who was sick of the Goblins eating his students so he called for a school wide meeting. At this meeting they decided they needed to get rid of the goblins and they knew exactly how they were going to do it......

To scare the Goblins away they decided they would all dress up as zombies and chase them all around. They even asked Santa if he could help them by playing along that the turkey zombies were eating him and his elf's. The plan was set into action, the week after the assembly they had all their make up done and had Santa cast a magical spell to make then look act and sound like real zombies.

And you know what happened next??? It all worked the Goblins got so frightened that they ran away screaming, I'm pretty sure they ran all the way to Hades den. Santa couldn't believe how well the turkeys did at acting like zombies he was even a little scared himself and once the turkeys changed back into regular little school turkeys they began to play and dance and sing knowing that the goblins would never be around for a very long time. And just knowing that they all live happily ever after.

The Battle rages on....

So seeing as how I was absent for almost all of this movie except for the last five minutes this assignment was very, very difficult I'm not really sure what happened in this movie but I will give it my best shot going off of what i have discussed with others in my English class.

In this movie I was told and I understand that they have played up the religious background by including the ancient Gods in there such as the god of war and fate but yet they still mention the "Holy God" and have priest come to rid the land of evil as well as participate in regular baptisms which is not part of the Pagan Anglo-Saxon time period.

From What I can tell they have changed the story line by turning Grendel into a Troll who seeks revenge for his fathers death. Grendel's father was murdered by warriors so Grendel only feels it is right for him to take the other warriors lives. They also added a which lady who Beowulf is fond of who turns out to be Grendel's lover and mother to Grendel's son. They also show Grendel tearing off his own arm and Beowulf as a humble person.

I think that by adding in the witch lady it made the story more interesting because everyone enjoys a little romance to an epic tale. I don't like how they made Beowulf humble because it suits him more to be puffed up and proud. I like how they portrayed the monsters as a more human like form because in a way it shows the evilness of man kind.

That is what I think of Beowulf. Hopefully I will be able to watch more of it on my own time.



Death by Water

I gasp for one more living breath
I'm alone no one can save me from the wave
It hits me like a car faster than death
I know I cant fight it, I must be brave
Fear sets into my unwanted chubby stomach
As water fills my swimmers lungs
I try to swim but my head begins to ache
My scream is like a last battle cry being sung
I feel my body hit the hard concrete land
All I am able to do to stay alive is twist and shout
I try to grab the ground about all i clutch is sand
Why wont this silly towering wave let me out
But At last I am finally about to be free
Why didn't this tumbling ocean just let me be.
