There are many characteristics of a true hero. A person goes through many adventures to become a hero. There are also stages to go through as a hero.
The separation. The person must find a reason to leave their comfort zone. In the “Beowulf” film, Beowulf must leave to go fight a dragon that has been terrorizing his village. He isn’t a man of hesitation, especially when it comes to the safety of his village. Once informed of the dragon, Beowulf was very courageous and went to the dragons layer to kill it.
Then there is the initiation. He goes to the unknown with a mentor and has a transformation. Although Beowulf didn’t have a mentor, he does have a right hand man. Wiglaf is a person that kind of helped, saw, and figured things out for Beowulf. During the initiation is the transformation, when Beowulf finally killed the dragon. It was a difficult fight for Beowulf but even with a broken arm, he killed the dragon.
The final stage would be the return. Beowulf, unfortunately, dies from his injuries while slaying the dangerous dragon. What he did achieve was a creation. He made a safer village for his people by killing the dragon. He also made all the gold the dragon was shielding available to the village. He didn’t get the opportunity to return to his village with pride for killing the dragon but he made a creation. The hero’s journey is a common theme of literature and film. Beowulf is a great example of this story. It shows what a person what must do to be considered a hero, a hero’s struggle, and their ending result.

Grendels mother was a little opposite she did everything to destroy hothgars village when her son got killed bye Beowulf so she used Beowulf with her sexy body and got Beowulf to have sex with her and she mad a dragon out of his baby to kill Beowulf. She was also a king to just in her own way but she just killed people in hothgars village just for her son.
The relationship between the man and the woman were almost the same it was more of the relationship between good and evil.

Beowulf/Hrothgar
Compare and contrast
This movie Beowulf has characters that shared the same qualities, in other cases the same differences. King Hrothgar and Beowulf where exactly the same in most aspects. Respect is a must at all time, They give orders and expect you to follow them. The both had high and mighty personalities and prefer to be rich. They have strong demeanors and will take on any challenge, take or battle at hand.
They also enjoy the same company of women. Hrothgar’s queen was a young and beautiful lady, she was also attracted to Beowulf. Beowulf also had a thing for hrothgar’s wife as soon as he arrived to the village. The queen ended up with Beowulf when the king had committed suicide. Like the king Beowulf had a young woman while he was with the queen.
When things really hit the fan in the movie the to men where obligated to slay grendels mother. They both failed to do so. Grendels mother swayed Hrothgar
And Beowulf into making a deal with them. Like Hrothgar Beowulf had taken the wrong route by having relations with the demon woman. Beowulf acted as he defeated grendels mother in the battle as well as Hrothgar did. Hrothgar set Beowulf up for failure and put all responsibilities in Beowulf’s hands, as it happen to Hrothgar a time ago. These are two negative, and important qualities they have alike.
Differences, king Hrothgar were a very good warrior he also fought to keep his village. Not to take anything away from the king, he was money hungry. The king was after glamour fortune and fame. He loved the fact that he was high and mighty took advantage of having authority over people. That quality of a typical king but Hrothgar was a greedy man. On the other hand Beowulf took the “long live the king” approach he was more after longevity and legacy. Beowulf was a great warrior who explored the lands fighting and killing, making his presents felt as the greatest warrior who ever lived. He wanted people for thousands and thousands of years to come to know his name speak of his name.
Beowulf was also a greater warrior than Hrothgar. As a mid-age king Hrothgar was dealing with a beast Grendels mother. He didn’t handle his own problems. Hrothgar was forced to call upon some one else, which was Beowulf. On the other hand Beowulf handled is own unfinished business with grendels mother on his own. The worrier also scarifies his life to save his kingdom by slaying the dragon.

Beowulf’s Journey
Grendel has attacked the people of Greatland and killed a lot of people. Beowulf has traveled across the seas to Geatland to fight Grendel the monster. Grendel appears and killed more people but this time Beowulf was there to fight him and cut his and hand off. Grendel died in his mother’s hands. Beowulf killed Grendel and everyone believed in Beowulf even the King because he killed Grendel. The king sends Beowulf to kill Grendel’s mother. He didn’t kill her and she proposes Beowulf to have a child with her and he will be king forever. He made his decision and they had a child. He lied to the people of Geatland telling them that he has killed Grendel’s mother, but there was one person he couldn’t lied to “The King” Beowulf to him that he didn’t killed her so the king killed himself and Beowulf became the King of Geatland. He had to wait until his son comes out. They had to fight but at the end both of them end up kill.
I feel good about Beowulf’s choice because he knew that he couldn’t kill Grendel’s mother. That was his only chance to do what he had to do so he sacrifice having a child with her and give his life fighting his dragon son and fix his mistake.

Beowulf final essay by Kayla Thomas
When a book is made into a film there are a lot of things that the editors for the movie leave out of the actual story line. They do this to shorten the story to ensure that the movie is not too long. There are many elements in the story of Beowulf that where left out of the movie.
For example, some of many differences are that in the book it stated that herothgar was friends with Beowulf’s father. In the movie however, that fact was never mentioned. Also, in the movie Beowulf slept with Grendel’s mother and bore a child which was portrayed as the dragon Beowulf fought towards the end of the story. But, in the book he actually killed Grendel’s mother and the dragon was just another random obstacle of Beowulf’s hero’s journey.
Even though there were many differences, there were also some few and slight similarities. In both the movie and book version Beowulf died in the battle with the dragon. He went to fight the dragon with wiglaf by his side. In both versions Beowulf make wiglaf the new king upon his death. There were also similarities in the reason why Grendel attacked heorot.
In conclusion, when comparing and contrasting the book from the movie of Beowulf It is easy to see the many differences from book to film due to editing. But for the movie they do keep some very important key events on the movie to make it still entertaining while also not losing the audience because they don’t get it.

Finals Essay By: Rebekah Thebodeau
When comparing and contrasting the movie from the book there are a lot of differences, and very few similarities. This happens a lot when a book is changed into a movie.
I was able to find a lot of differences between the movie and the book. Like in the book Herothgar was friends with Beowulf’s father back in the day, they never mentioned that in the movie. Herot was made out of gold in the book and in the movie you couldn’t tell if it was or not (so I’m not %100 on if this is a difference or not). In the book the fight between Grendle and Beowulf, Beowulf stripped down to prove how strong he was in the book, but in the movie Beowulf was already nude. In the movie Beowulf mad e love to Grendle’s Mom, in the book Beowulf fought and killed her. Beowulf became king of Herot in the movie because Herothgar killed himself, and in the book he left Herot to go further his fame and go on more fantastic journeys. In the movie the dragon Beowulf kills is his son from the monster lady he boned down with, but in the book it was just your everyday dragon protecting his treasure.
Their where very few similarities between the book and the movie that I could find. In both the book and the movie, Grendle has a mother. Beowulf went to Herot, and fights Grendle in the nude. Beowulf rips off Grendles arm. Grendle’s mom gets mad and attacks Herot. Beowulf fights a dragon. Beowulf gives his gold to Wiglaf ( Beowulf’s B.F.F.). And Beowulf dies. These are the only ones I can think of at the moment.
So all in all the book and the movie are obviously different in many, many ways. But that’s okay ‘cause they’re both amazing stories, fun to read and watch.

In life it's hard to stand up for what you believe in because sometimes people can laugh or try to put you down. In the book The Butterfly Revolution, it gave a lot of action into how some people stood up for themselves and others would do wrong choices. A child by the name of Frank Reilly, was a straight A student who had huge eyes and was brave enough to stand up for himself to be leader and begin a revolution. As an experience to the children who went to the camp, had a crazy experience that turned out of control. He was a kid who somehow had control over everyone because he would confuse him. Nobody would want to confront Reilly as a group and stop the revolution because they were too afraid of the consequences they might have to pay.Then, the kids from camp didn't realize that the more confusion they had the more control Frank would have over them. He didn't want to stop the revolution until he thought it was safe to do so. But Frank was completely wrong. Problems would keep getting worse and worse. An example was like when Frank and Stanley disliked each other when in reality they caused a crime by killing Mr. Warren. Nobody knew about it until the cops came and Stanley confessed about it. He said that Frank holded his arms while he stabbed Mr. Warren. Everything got so out of control in the revolution. The kids were manipulated with the way Frank gave out his speeches.Winston knew that everything he would say were pure lies. The revolution was suppose ably to have fun. Frank had the plans and others would put it in action. What had saved Winston into going into jail was his diary. He would write every night before sleeping of how he felt. The biggest problem was saying the pledge because Winston didn't believe in God. He stood up for his rights and ended up not saying the pledge. In this book it showed me that if people don't really stand up for themselves things can go really wrong. In Butterfly revolution three people were murdered and it was only because one guy wanted to have fun.

Relationship/roles of men and women.
In the book Butterfly Revolution the boys were seperated from the girls. When they had their Revolution the boys were in charge. Maybe because they had the idea to do it and the girls joined later, I dont know. They were still treated the same as the guys. They were well respected.
When a girl had a problem with one of the guys they didn't tell her to butt off or to go away. The boys were nice about it and helped her out with her problem. The boys tried to dignify the girls needs whenever they needed some help from other boys.
In beowulf it is a whole different story. The boys are in charge like in Butterfly Revolution but the girls they didin't have no rights. They had to serve the men in anyway they wanted to be served. But their was a lady monster. She was like the guy she would make any guy do what she wanted. She had like the power to do it.
I dont think this is right having the girls do whatever the guys wanted them to do. It's good that the years have changed over these past years because I wouldn't like to serve anybody in any way. I wouldn't feel free. I would feel locked up in a dungin with peur evil.

MAYRA JANETH OLIVERA - FINAL EXAM
BEOWULF
Throughout the movie Beowulf there were lots of differences and similarities between the characters. Beouwulf would get what he wanted by telling his stories. King Hrothgar bought people off. However they were both party guys.
Beowulf would tell his stories to other people and always tried to make himself sound like the better “warrior”. He was really into himself. For example when he fought Grendel. He didn’t mind the fact that he was naked. He just always liked to show that he was the better warrior.
King Hrothgar on the other hand would buy people off for his own personal gain. Whenever he wanted something he had plenty of riches to give off. He wanted to have a son but his queen wouldn’t have intimate relations with him because he was Grendels father.
In spite of these differences they were both party guys. They both loved women and gold. Neither one was afraid of a fight. They both had intimate relations with Grendels mother. So as different as they were they had several similarities.
Throughout the movie Beowulf, king hrothgar and Beowulf had many differences and similarities. They both loved women and gold and weren’t afraid of a fight. But at the same time Beowulf was a better warrior than king Hrothgar.

My final exam essay is on Beowulf’s Journey. This is the first part of the story. This is the part where he fights Grendel and his mother. He is a young man looking for glory and fame.
The calling was in the land of the Geats. A young man by the name of Beowulf was leaving Sweden to go help a friend of his father. The friend’s name is King Hrothgar. The king needed help and Beowulf goes because he feels the need to help Hrothgar. The threshold was when at the kingdom of Hrothgar, Beowulf boasts his accomplishments to the king’s men. One night, a creature by the name of Grendel attacks Hrothgar’s men. The descent was when Beowulf goes and fights Grendel without any weapons.
The abyss in the first part of Beowulf’s tale is Herot, the party place of Hrothgar, and Grendel’s lair. The mentor was a magic sword, crafted by giants. He used it to defeat Grendel’s mother. The transformation was when he kills Grendel without any weapons. He defeated Grendel’s mother and leaves the lair.
The return and creation was when he returned. He had killed Grendel’s mother and Grendel. The place called Herot can now be used again without any fear. Beowulf fights only for glory and fame.
The conclusion is that Beowulf is a hero. He saved Herot from the terror and killing of Grendel and his mother. Most people today would think of Beowulf as a killer, but back then; he was considered the archetypal superhero.

Compare & Contrast
I’m compare and contrasting Beowulf and Hrothgar. I’m going to compare them by being kings. I’m also going to compare the witch with them. I’m going to contrast Hrothgar killing himself and Beowulf being killed.
Hrothgar was the first king of the kingdom he had. And he was a great king. Just that he committed dumb choices. Then Beowulf came along to fix the problems that Hrothgar made. Then he also made the same choice that Hrothgar made.
Hrothgar had slept with a witch and had a kid. His name was Grendel. And Grendel starts to destroy their parties. That’s when Beowulf came along and killed Grendel. Then Beowulf goes and tries to kill the witch and ends up sleeping with her also.
So when Beowulf sleeps with her the king finds out and gives the crown to Beowulf. Before giving it to him he kills himself. That’s when Beowulf becomes the king. After a while Beowulf’s kid grew up but he never knew. His son was a dragon and the dragon tries to destroy the kingdom. And Beowulf ends up killing the dragon and dies a hero.
So pretty much Hrothgar killed himself and was a coward towards my eyes. And Beowulf does not, he ends up dieing by the way he really was. But they were more similar to each other. Just that Hrothgar was not a hero like Beowulf.

Remember those movies… that are really different from the books? Yep, Beowulf is one of those. But the main point of the story doesn’t change much, just the things that happened. For example Beowulf never changed, he is still the same brave and feared guy that doesn’t have any fears in both the movie and the book.
Beowulf is never afraid. And he proves this by going to the Dragon’s Cave. He goes there with hunger for gold and an attitude to kill the dragon. He is always just looking for ways to show that he is the bravest and that he should be the one feared, not just some silly dragon.
To me his initiation would be going to the dragons cave. Beowulf wasn’t the only one that fought the dragon. Wigliaf was there to help Beowulf complete this. And since Wigliaf was there to help Beowulf, I think that makes him a mentor.
I guess the ending doesn’t always have to be a happy ending… well at least that’s not what happened in this epic story. Beowulf’s return to me was when he died and all his jewels and gold that he earned were now his people’s. After all he fought the dragon to protect his people and to gain gold… and possibly to be well known and to be talked about even after his death. And It worked, after all this time people still tell the story about Beowulf.

The movie Beowulf,compared to the book is a little different. What never changes in either the book or the movie is that Beowulf is always the same fearless, brave guy. He battles to try to win the gold. He meets Wigliaf and goes to the dragons cave to defeat the dragon. After his big adventure he leaves and gives his gold and jewels to his people.
It’s the final battle to win the gold. Beowulf again goes to battle because he’s never afraid to fight. He goes to the dragons cave to show his braveness. He goes with an intention to kill the dragon so he can win the gold and also to protect his people.
His initiation is also him going to the dragons cave. It’s not only Beowulf fighting the dragon. Wigliaf goes with him to help each other kill the dragon. Beowulf’s mentor I would have to say is of course Wigliaf; he helps him defeat the dragon.
Beowulf’s return is that he dies and joins his great companion. When he dies all his gold and jewels are to be his peoples. His main purpose of fighting the dragon was to defend his people and to win the gold. Beowulf’s people create him a barrow. After all Beowulf’s legend has lived on.

Titania Briggs--English Final
I am choosing to write my essay on The Butterfly Revolution. The story started off pretty boring, but then it got very interesting. the challenges and difficulties some of the kids went threw at the camp were some what serious.
A lot of the kids were scared and some didn't want to join the revolution with the rest of the kids. it's very difficult trying to stand up for yourself and what you believe in, especially when your standing alone. Everybody else is against you.
My favorite charater in The Butterfly Revolution is Winston. he was like your average guy. He didint believe in god and because of that it was alot of things he didnt want to do. Like say the pledge. But he cracked cause he was so soft and punkable. the only black person in the whole book. is the only person who stood up for himself and never gave in. Guess what happen to him? He died! So standing up is not always a good idea. when your out numbered. Thats why i like Winston.
i think that if your life is at stake then maybe you should follow the crowd. isolationg yourself from everybody esle isn't a good idea either. he (the black boy)should have been organizing a grop of anti-revoutionary troops. then when he got blamed for rape he would have had some one to back him up.
The book definitly made me never want to go to any bodys cam. Also I learned that before you make a decision make sure it is well thought out first. Then things are more likely to run smoothly.

Jessica Varela Final Exam
The Butterfly Revolution is a novel written by William Butler. The story takes place in America, in the 1960's. The novel is about a few young kids taking over a summer camp. All starts with the captains leaders, and the revolution. Here I am going to compare and contast Winston and frank Reilley.
Winton Weyn is the main character of the book. He has a cool personality which is interesting. He is a so call "Born leader". Winston always makes good decisions and he knows how to manage his time properly. He has power and control when he gives his opinions on the revolution. He has power and control when he gives his opinions on the revolution. His thoughts on the committee shows what really is the main deal about.
General Frank is the dictator that boys tend to follow. He is a strong, better kid than Winston. He approaches Winston to ask if he knows the meaning of the word Lepidophera. Frank seems to be nicer, he gives ice cream, has parties, and even gets in the girls camp. Then a Supreme Revolutionary Committee starts. Frank gets scared and tries to escape. But gets tied down to a tree, and gets whipped.
Now I am going to compare and contrast Frank and Winston. Winston starts noticing that Frank is smart boy. He says he would like to keep an eye on that kid. Winston discovers that Frank has a knife who belongs to Stanley. Winston tries to battle the founders if the butterfly revolution over freedom of choice. Which is so immature. Now, Frank Reilley insists that the principle of this revolution is loyal to its law. They're similar because they are both dumb. And they're both in between the revolution. The difference is that Frank does try to get out of this mess, and Winston, he is just all hooked up on this mess.
Lastly, with Winstons violent behavior, he ends up not getting charged because they are unfound. Winston no longer thinks Frank crazy about the revolution. The ploice are finally the ones who ends this revolution mess. Frank and Winston are good exmaples of characters, to compare and contrast. This whole revolution thing was just a immature situation for them.
