Today in Eng. 10

Your test for Beowulf is in Canvas.  After you finish the test (or as homework tonight if you work on the test the entire class period) you need to read “Connections / Ancient Babylonia / Greece” on page 68 and the short “from Gilgamesh The Prologue” on pages 69 and 70. After you have read the information you need to use complete sentences to answer the following questions:

  1. What are two of Gilgamesh’s major accomplishments?
  2. Compare what Gilgamesh and Boewulf do for their respective peoples.

You will turn the written response to these two questions into the tray prior to the start of class on Friday.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.

    Being beowulfs successor,well trained,
    Beowulf is a strong and courageous leader
    While Gilgamesh is more laid back and kind
