Class 12 - November 29

Its hard to believe we are nearing the end of the semester.  I hope you have enjoyed and been enriched by the books we've read together so far.   I know I have!  There are so many treasures for us to plunder in these pages!  I'll leave you with these "gems" as we depart old Scandinavia...

" The treasure had been won,
bought and paid for by Beowulf's death." (2843)

"God Himself, mankind's Keeper, True King of Triumphs, allowed some person pleasing to Him - and in His eyes worthy - to open the hoard." (3055)

As we enter the advent, may these literary shadows of Christ inspire worship and adoration for The One who's death bought and paid for treasures eternal on our behalf; the True Dragon Slayer who was counted worthy to open the seal of the scrolls of heaven! (Revelation 5)

 Assignments for next week
Carefully read and highlight Sir Gawain and the Green Knight sections 1-50

• Yellow - flow of thought
• Orange - speeches/poetic devices (other than alliteration which is primary in this text)
• Blue - Outstanding passages to bring up in discussion.  Please mark at least 3 blues in this first half.

Narration

•  Be prepared to narrate any of the first 50 sections.  
• Tip: Try to sum up each short section in one sentence that captures the main events of the section.
